2/3 Alchemist

In this part of The Alchemist Santiago is still working at the crystal shop doing the same thing as he always was cleaning the crystals. Santiago has offered many new ideas to the shop owner and made him a lot of money. The shop owner begins to trust Santiago and he leaves him in charge of the shop for a while. Then after eleven months of working at the shop he decides to pack up and leave where he starts his journey even deeper on his journey for the treasure. Then Santiago travels farther into the desert where he meets up with a caravan which is a group of people led by someone who knows his way around the desert. When he meets the leader of the caravan comes out and tells the boy if he sticks with them he will survive the fierce desert but if he goes on his own he will not live long at all. The leader also tells everyone that he is the life and the death so everyone must swear to their god that they will obey him. After a few months Santiago decided to pack his bags and leave. 

The author is doing a good job in his text he is making good visuals. The book is very interesting. The book keeps you thinking and when you think Santiago is out of resources something happens. One example is when Santiago met up with the caravan  and they helped him find the Alchemist. The book does get a little boring through out it but if you keep reading it normally picks back up. One example is when he is working at the crystal shop it gets boring but it later picks back up.

 This relates to my life because I never loose hope and I don’t give up. I have good perseverance  and so does Santiago, without his perseverance he wouldn’t have got as far as he did. Also this book relates to your dreams. Santiago had a dream of exploring new places and he followed it and I believe you should do this in real life because it leads to happiness.
