The Black Pearl - Extended Response.

Our next book is "The Black Pearl" by Scott O'Dell. My question is what is the beliefs of the Manta Diablo by Luzon and Ramon?

Ramon doesn't think the Manta Diablo is a threat and wants to see it. Luzon is terrified of the Manta Diablo and tries to stay away from it as far as possible. One reason for each of them to show their beliefs. For Ramon, it is in Chapter 1, when he talks about the Manta Diablo, and Chapter 6, where he warns Ramon.

The story states, "It was strange long ago I did not believe in the Manta Diablo. When my mother would threaten me I would quietly laugh to myself. I wanted to believe the Manta Diablo was really alive somewhere and that he would come when he was called." This excerpt shows that Ramon is not afraid of the Manta Diablo, but very curious about it and does not think of it much as a threat. I see where he is coming from, but I think he should be more wary of the Manta Diablo. This shows Ramon's belief about the Manta Diablo.

The author wrote, " 'I cannot go to the cave to search for pearls. I cannot go because I fear the Manta Diablo. If you go there, then it is alone. El Diablo cannot blame me.' " This is from the book, this shows how the Indian, Luzon, thinks about the Manta Diablo. I know why Luzon is scared of the Manta Diablo, and it has support, however, he should worry a bit less because it is sure, the Manta Diablo is strong, but there is no proof it has supernatural powers. This shows Luzon's beliefs about the Manta Diablo.

In conclusion, Ramon does not worry about the Manta Diablo, and Luzon is scared of the Manta Diablo. Ramon's support is in Chapter 1, and Luzon's is in Chapter 6. This shows how both Ramon and Luzon think about the Manta Diablo.
