The Pearl book and movie have many similarities and differences. The book and movie both have Kino and all of the original characters, but they change the name of Kino’s son, Coyotito. In the movie version, Coyotito is named Coyote. The priest then baptizes Coyote with a new name, Juan Coyote. The book introduces Kino as a grown man with a wife and a child. The movie introduces Kino as a young boy. Also, in the book, Kino hears the song of evil. In the movie, to describe where the evil comes from to the viewers, he has nightmares. There are many obvious differences but there are also many similarities that occur between the two. In both the movie and book, the Doctor still refuses to help the town people, even when Coyotito is stung.
