The Alchemist

Hey well im reading a book called The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho. Its about a boy named Sanitiago and he is a shepherd. His parents wanted him to be a priest but he didnt want to, he wanted to travel. His parents supported him but told him that they didnt have enough money for him to travel and that the only way he could is if he became a shepherd. So he decided to become one. Anyways one specific thing about this book that i really like is that he opens his eyes to see what the world really is and not for what he wants it to be. This part of the book i can really connect to because alot of the times everyone always views their life as what other people or themselves want it to be instead of looking at it for what it is. I sometimes honestly do it myself. Being able to see things in a broader way also helps people to open up their minds like i have doing this. In the book Santiago is given advice by an old wise man who hes never met. Me myself personally had to get advice to open up my mind. Yea well thats pretty much it....bye!!
