We all read a lot: texts, emails, magazines, Twitter, maybe even books! It’s fun to read
stories, but we all have different viewpoints: we all look at stories through different
lenses, so to speak. Rather than simply reading The Alchemist for what’s on the page, find
something that makes you think beyond the page.
For this essay, you are to choose one** of the following words/concepts and write about
that concept using examples/support from The Alchemist: Dreams, Spirituality, Love,
Hope, Faith, Loss, Fear, Freedom.
