John Steinbeck uses the theme that greed can do bad things people. In the books The Pearl, Of Mice and Men, and The Red Pony he uses events in his writing to prove his point. Kino is obsessed with keeping the pearl, George makes sure that Lennie doesn't touch the mice, and Jody doesn't care for anyone other than himself until he receives his pony. My research came from e-journals, book citing, and internet articles.
