Personal Legends

While reading The Alchemist adventure has been a main theme. The main character is always in search of a new beginning or a life different than what everyone else is living. The only time he decides to settle down for a short while is when he needs money or when he decides he wants to be in love. Even during theses slow times he is always thinking about what he wants in the future; whether it's more sheep or making it to the pyramids to find his treasure. I am excited to see where his sense of adventure will bring him in the future. I am also excited to see if he actually ends up settling down with a girl that he "loves". If all of these events take place I think that the book will be extremely interesting. Plus, he's foreshadowing that the war will enter the oasis, so maybe he will even get involved in the war. I feel like he will fight in the war and then find the sword that he wanted when he was in the market place. I feel that everything will start falling into place again, and he will succeed at what ever he chooses to do. Although, I do think that as soon as he has his treasure he'll decide that what he really wants is to be a sheppard again.
