So for english, I gotta review a book and a film, which has similar themes to a short novel called 'The Pearl' by Steinbeck.

The story of 'The Pearl' is that this poor Mexican guy gets lucky and finds a pearl. He wants to sell it but the pearl buyers were trying to rip him off. He knew this so he kept the pearl and went elsewhere. Living in a poor village, the mexican makes himself a target for man's greed, cos everyone wanted the pearl. So yeah, greed. The main theme is greed.

Anyway, I just need a short novel AND film to do with that theme.
The shorter, the better. If you know the length of the novel/film, please post that as well.
