Predestined Fate In Paul Coelho’s The Alchemist, Santiago embarks on a spiritually awakening journey of fate and freewill to complete his Personal Legend. He liberates himself from the sabotaging spells that blind his society, attempts feats few are capable of doing, and encounters The Alchemist. Santiago stumbles upon situations of interest and inspiration in his adventure that reveal a soundless battle between his will and his fate. The author successfully illustrates an interesting truth about Santiago’s journey, it is predestined from the beginning; every experience and act of freewill is driven by his fate to accomplish his Personal Legend. Santiago’s choices are controlled by fate; the ones he makes before he becomes a shepherd lead him towards his Personal Legend.
At the end, he was glad that he fulfilled his Personal Legend and that he was going back to Fatima. Some people, like the crystal merchants, have dreams that they want to achieve, but he always imagines that he would be disappointed if there journey would be a waste if it came to the end of something that they are not looking for. Therefore, they might feel discouraged that they didn't try to reach for their dreams and feel sad that they didn't do what they always wanted to do. Surely there are a lot of challenges that will be difficult when you go to chase your dreams, but
That is what Bilbo says when he picks up the Arkenstone that he finds on top of the pile of treasure. In the beginning of the novel many, if not all, disagrees that Bilbo is suited to be in the position of a burglar. Bilbo feels that way, too. He felt that he is unworthy and unsuited to fit the position. But now as he holds up the Arkenstone he is able to prove to himself that truly he has become a burglar.
When he is told about finding a treasure by a prince he knows that he must find his personal legend and fulfill his new dream. Santiago faces obstacles and overcomes many things to find his personal legend. First, the quote by Douglas Everett relates to every single person in the world. There are all kinds of different people in the world and all of the people have one thing in common, to achieve a goal in life. The difference between people is that there are some who try to find their dream and some who give up on finding it.
The Alchemist is a highly acclaimed novel written by Paulo Coelho. This novel is centered on a young shepherd boy named Santiago and his journey to find his personal calling. Along his journey from his home in Spain, to the markets of Tangier and the deserts of Egypt, he encounters a plethora different people that help him along his quest. The novel entails Santiago’s meeting with everyone from a gypsy, to the King of Salem, an Englishman and of course the alchemist. Out of all of the characters in the novel, I find that Santiago reflects my views most similarly.
Themes. A) Dreams. A theme in The Alchemist is to follow ones dreams; Santiago was unsure at first, but later on he completes his dream and finds his treasure. B) faith. Santiago didn't have faith in himself; however, the Old King did which made him believe in himself.
As with all of Pride and Prejudice the story is told by an omniscient narrator in the third person. This helps create perspectives from all the different characters, which in this chapter is mainly Elizabeth and Mr Collins. As well as using the third person to help aid the telling of chapter 19, as with most of the novel, the story of Elizabeth’s rejection of Mr Collins is told through the dialogue between characters “ I am very sensible of the honour of your proposals, but it is impossible for me to do otherwise than decline them”. This doesn’t just allow the reader to gain an incite into the story but also helps them to draw their own conclusions about the characters. For instance, Mr Collins long, pompous speeches help the reader to realise his character within the novel and how he is a person who is full of pride in himself (which is one of the themes of the novel).
This journey helps Santiago learn new things about himself and other people. His destiny was right in front of him, but life had to have him go through the entire journey by crossing the dessert to overcoming impossible difficulties to find his treasure. We are absolutely not prisoners of fate; we are not in control of our fate we are innocent of what has been decided among us. Franklin D. Roosevelt had once stated, “Men are not prisoners of fate, but only prisoners of their own minds.” This quote clearly meant that we aren’t in control of fate, but we are in control of our actions and decisions. Catcher in the Rye and The Alchemist relates to this quote.
Through the prologue of Goodbye Lemon , Davies wants to convey to his audience that you can bring any character to life through writing. Jack had brought Dexter back to life (as Jack states in the last line of the prologue) although he did not have any memory of him, other than the fateful day Dexter died. Storytelling is vital here because people often twist their memories as they write, because they want to get a point across to their readers. Jack tries to bring back memories of who Dexter could have been by writing different scenarios, thus bending his memories in order to find out something about his brother who he does not remember. That which is demanded by ethics greatly
