The Alchemist

  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.
