“And, as with all retold tales that are in people’s hearts, there are only good things and bad things and black and white things and good and evil things and no in-between anywhere.”
- The Pearl, prologue
What do you think John Steinbeck means when he says there are “no in-between” things in stories? Do you agree? Why or why not?
I don't agree, everyone is a mixture of good and bad and can't be perfect ever. Every human is different in their own way and for someone to say a person is completely good or bad is naive/ingenuous
