The Alchemist By Paulo Coelho
When you are in love, you have to overcome many obstacles to get the one you love. In the book The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho, a Spanish Shepherd named Santiago goes on a journey through Africa and the Sahara desert. He is on his way to find some treasure at the Great Pyramids when he meets a gypsy. The gypsy tells him where to find the treasure and that he has to give half of it to her. He wants to fulfill his personal legend of finding the treasure.. I am a delightful girl who lives in the Al-Fayoum desert. A man named Santiago came to my tent to ask about a man named the Alchemist. First he visited me at my tent, then he fell in love with me at my well. When I first saw Santiago my heart jumped out of my chest. He and I talked …show more content…
As I pulled the container up I recalled that morning. It had been almost five months since I had met Santiago. He had gone to the desert on his way to the pyramids of Egypt looking for a fortune. He and I met at the well close to my little tent. He had looked into my eyes so deeply and I into his, we both knew immediately that we were in love. He had been advised that if he stayed and didn't fulfill his own legend, we would both be unhappy when got married. So he had left, in the wake of asking for my hand in marriage and promised to return in the wake of finding his fortune. His love is as soft as silk, as bright as the moon.The well quit moving; letting me know that the container was at the highest point of the well and pushing me toward the reality. I freed the can from the well and headed home. I was so deep in my thoughts about Santiago that I didn't see my little sister, Eisha, until I walked into …show more content…
I replied to her saying that I am worried about Santiago. She told me not to stress about it. She said that Santiago is a smart guy and nothing would happen to him. Generally speaking, I had a dream by the well again of Santiago returning to the country. However, I think that he is still in trouble.

“ Help me! Please! Please! Please!” I heard. The voice I heard matched Santiago's voice. A man was sitting next to the well where he was sitting on the day when I first met him. He had dark hair falling in his dark eyes. His hair was covered in blood and his clothes were tattered in a few spots.

“Santiago!” I ran to him with happiness and with no words to say.
“You are as beautiful as a flower” he said. “Fatima.”
He asked me how had I been. I told him that I am doing well. Santiago and I talked for hours.He told me that he had to go back to the desert because an animal killed his camel. He had fallen and hit his head on the ground where all the rocks were. When Santiago came back from his journey, he came with some gold, money and

    The story is non-chronological and is told out of order, mimicking the way that memories are often not remembered sequentially. In addition, the story is told like clockwork, told repetitively through memories that essentially keep Santiago alive twenty-seven years after his death. Although most of the chapters end on an exclamation similar to “They’ve killed Santiago Nasar!” the story is reconstructed again, with a new memory or voice telling the story, adding more pieces to solve the puzzle of Santiago Nasar’s murder (García Márquez 71). Santiago’s murder is retold in each chapter, but Santiago becomes ‘resurrected’ in the next where his last moments are replayed, up until the last chapter of the novel. The last sentence of the novel ends with the line “He went into his house through the back door that had been open since six and fell on his face in the kitchen”, again ending Santiago’s life, but this time ending the loop of Santiago’s death and his following resurrection (García Márquez 120). The novel ends with no conclusion, paralleling the fact that Santiago’s murder has no conclusion or resolution. Santiago dies with his innocence still in question, but the circumstances of his death causes Santiago to still be remembered and, therefore, to still be…

    In the alchemist by Paulo Coelho, Santiago’s greatest obstacle is overcoming his fear of the unknown. As the boy goes to the ticket booth to buy a ticket to Africa, he comes to the realization, “If he sold just one of his sheep, he’d have enough to get to the other shore of the strait. The idea frightened him.” (26). Santiago is fearful because he doesn’t know what will happen if he leaves. He knows his sheep and the lands of Andalusia, but does not know what will occur if he leaves what he knows for the vast mysterious desert to achieve his personal legend. The alchemist wants the boy to understand, “If a person is living out his Personal Legend, he knows everything he needs to know. There is only one thing that makes a dream impossible to achieve: the fear of failure” (141). Santiago must accept the fact that he will not let fear of what he cannot do affect what he can do. Also, he must not let fear cloud his judgment of what his heart thinks. He does not know what will happen so he fears of what cannot be predicted. Finding a way to manage with his fear of the unknown is a constant challenge for Santiago. Even though he knows he should pursue his personal legend into the desert, Santiago has second thoughts when “He reminds himself that he had been a shepherd, and that he could be a shepherd again. Fatima was more important than his treasure” (95). The boy debates whether he should leave the oasis with the alchemist to fulfill his personal legend or stay with his love Fatima. He is scared because he does not know what will be the outcome of their relationship if he leaves Fatima. He worries if their love will last even if they aren’t together. He is afraid to take the risk because he won’t know the result until he returns. The boy has many obstacles on his journey but finding a way to cope with his fear of the unknown is an ongoing challenge for Santiago throughout the book.…

    When Santiago debates with himself about whether he wants to pursue his Personal Legend, because he feared losing Fatima, the Alchemist explains to him that his heart needs to understand "that the fear of suffering is worse than suffering itself. And that no heart had suffered when it goes in search of its dreams, because every second of the search is a second's encounter with God and eternity" (130). Santiago's journey surely did not bring upon suffering to him; he learned more about alchemy, found his treasure, and still felt love from Fatima. Ultimately following his dreams brought him closer to God; he literally had an "encounter" with Him when he became the wind. I felt the same as Santiago two years ago before I went to teach a vacation bible school on my mission trip to Canada, I was terrified because I had never done anything comparable to it and I did not know what to expect. I always dreamed of sharing my faith with others and when I went on that mission trip I legitimately felt like I was exactly where I should be. I now go on the trip up north for that vacation bible school every summer, every time I feel more blessed and closer to God. Fear haunts everyone, but when we learn to take risks and push the thought of suffering aside we will truly be…

    Santiago’s depth of self discovery at the beginning of the novel are shallow, in a sense that Santiago is decidedly nonheroic at the start of the story, and we see this when Coelho notices him believing that travelling through the deserts and experiencing a life as a shepherd is all he wanted to live for. A life of shepherding, Santiago feels was to be his dream. A life different from that as a priest by his fathers wishes, was all he felt was necessary to discover for himself in his own life. He wanted “to see the castles in the towns where [others] live… see their land and how they live”. The reasoning he gives to his father for his desire to follow such a dream. But something sparks;…

    Today has been a wonderful day, one of the most delightful ones I have ever had. I have finally met him, diary, I have finally met the one, Ernest Worthing! I am still speechless and astonished. I thought I would have never met him, I thought that he would remain in my dreams forever, but there he was, standing right in front of me. There was a spark in his eyes that attracted me particularly. The incomparable part though, was when he introduced himself to me. The moment he pronounced those letters and the delicate, though, powerful name composed itself in the air surrounding us created such vibration and confidence in me. My dream has always been to marry a man with the name of Ernest. I knew from that moment on, we were meant for each other. I must say, though, I was quite disappointed to discover that he wasn’t as handsomely wicked as I thought he would be, and the way he claimed that I was “little” was utterly offensive and my patience seemed to have went for a walk in the park. I know perfectly well that I look quite plain after I lose my patience. Putting that aside, though, he is such an irresistibly charming man. We talked for long about our feelings until the never ending wait for the epic proposal finally came to an end. Expressing the joy I am feeling at the moment would sound entirely meaningless in simple words. My heart beats slightly faster than usual when I try to explain it to you, diary, but there is the chance that if I do not enter all of the wonderful secrets of my life, I shall probably forget all about them. Although I highly doubt that I could forget such inexplicable moment. Ernest Worthing proposed to me, diary, he finally asked me to marry him and to be his wife until death does us part. I am exaggeratedly impatient for the wedding. My only concern is how uncle jack will behave to the news; I am quite in tranquil about his reaction. I know for sure…
