For Kino, family means safety, wholeness, and warmth, which is what most of life means and represents for him in The Pearl. The pearl also symbolizes wealth for him. When Kino finds the pearl, it is a symbol of hope and salvation, but to him it means wealth, and like like wealth, it can also represents all the evil in the world. Quote on quote "money is the rule of all evil".
ill is very nervous or anxious. Don't beat around the bush kinda means don't do something irrelevant so that you can avoid something else that you have to do. Jill's heart becoming a bass drums means that something was causing her heart to beat fast, it could be worry, anxiety, fear, etc. Her face becoming a calm ocean means she calmed down. The spray nozzle is simply being compared to the way an elephants trunk hangs loosely
