Sample introduction.

In our society today many politicians have lost a fortune because of ambitions to attain political seats. They end up using everything and when they fail to attain the desired position they bring about a lot of sadness to themselves and to those close to them. similarly, as illustrated in ‘The Pearl’ Kino is too ambitious after discovering the magnificent pearl but it only brings sadness as illustrated below.

Body.

Too much ambition blinds someone. Kino and Juana were happy and excited after discovering the great pearl and they thought everyone share their joy. P43. (expect candidates to expound on this point)

Too much ambition makes someone to be unrealistic. In the incandescence of the pearl the fictions formed of things Kino’s mind had considered in the past and given up as impossible. P44 Kino unrealistically thought that the pearl would solve all the problems in his life.

Too much ambition makes someone to be unreasonable. 'And if Kino’s planning came to nothing, those same neighbors would say, … you see what have become of him. And I myself so the moment his reason left him. P. 46-47

Too much ambition makes someone to be inhuman. Kino killed three men and even quarreled with the wife in the process of protecting the great pear. (expect candidates to expound on these points)

Conclusion.

From the above illustrations it is clear that too much ambition leads nowhere.
