Introduction

I think the Alchemist is an incredible story of a journey of a boy who went on to discover that everyone has a goal, everyone has a purpose or as the book calls it a personal legend. The overall book is really about this one boy pursuing his dream. I think there's two components with the sheep that stands out because the sheep represent security and certainty. But remember, even at the beginning, he's done wanting him to be praised. Did you have any thoughts on that? I think so.
