This is an excellent example of imagery. When i read this i can imagine a man that is obviously unhappy; which helps create the character in my mind, and gives me an idea of how the character acts.

"The pearl has become my soul...."
Using a metaphor instead of a simile tells me that Kino is more serious. If he would've said a simile like, "The pearl s like my soul," it wouldn't sound quite as serious.

"Kino was afraid as a man is afraid who says, 'I will' without knowing,"
This is a good example of a simile because it uses the word "As" instead of not using the word which would make it a metaphor.

" This pearl is like a sin."
If the author had just said that the pearl was evil and it brought misfortune then the reader would not have got that the author was trying to say that the pearl is like a superstition.

Comparing the pearl to the moon in this simile using ''as'' makes this sentence a good figurative language example.
