Finally, the desire to know why his friend is always afraid of the sea makes Kino ask his father why Jiya is always on the lookout while they play in the ocean.īefore the storm washes Jiya’s family, his father sends him uphill to the old gentleman’s castle. On one of the hot sunny afternoons, when the two friends were playing on the beach, Kino asked Jiya, “What are you looking for?” and Jiya responded by saying, “Only to see that the ocean is not angry” (Buck 2). That is the reason every time the two friends played on the beach, Jiya was always on the lookout, observing the sea, for he understood how the sea obliterated his fishing village. To Jiya, Kino’s response to why the village people never seemed to be glad about the ocean is, “The sea is our enemy” (Buck 1). Kino adores the ocean, and since he takes pleasure in glancing at the waves and thinks they are stunning, he has no comprehension why the rural community people do not have the same enthusiasm towards the ocean.
