Shepherd boy Santiago's journey of adventures and ups and downs along the way, and finally found the treasure. His curiosity about the world, his wisdom for survival, his determined pace of chasing his dreams... With all this, the fantasy journey is truly realized.
Just like following him, the reading process is also to follow him to experience, and also experience a fantasy journey.
For me, reading the whole book, I prefer that the shepherd boy has never forgotten himself, the heart of a child.
From the moment he chose to be a shepherd, he knew what he wanted, he studied, he was familiar with the way of shepherding, he watched and learned the gifts brought to him by the fresh world, and followed his heart to be a different shepherd boy.
If there were no gypsy old woman, no king of Salem, no alchemist, he might have gone to the established life of a mortal man and become a man like he had seen, and maybe he would have had his own new ideas to live a different life, but no matter what kind of life, I think he knew himself, would not numb the mechanical life, even if he would succumb to life, but he would still embrace his true self and would not discard it.
Of course, the reality is not if, when his shepherd's life is almost exhausted, he found the gypsy old woman because of the doubts of the dream, met the king of Salem in ignorance, after a simple hesitation, he still firmly knew the journey he wanted, so he began a fantasy treasure hunt. Rather than treasure hunting, he is more looking forward to exploring new worlds and perhaps a more powerful self.
As in life, the journey was never easy, Santiago went to the language-speaking Africa, where he was deceived and robbed, but he was not depressed, but he only wavered in his goal of finding treasure. He used his insight to save himself and the Crystal Shop. Short-lived prosperity, he did not fall into the life of empty dreams, still the shepherd boy who set out, he still had to go forward to find the treasure.
Camel caravan of all kinds of people, he learned to communicate, learned the language of the desert, successfully reached the oasis, he met love, became the hero of the oasis, everything is so beautiful, at this moment, he is really hesitant, and even once wanted to stay here happily, wanted to end the journey perfectly.
The alchemist firmly broke his plan for a better life, and although so many valuable lives were fiercely tied to him, he did not give up, but in hesitation he went on the road. This time, he began to confront the self head-on, and even under the premise of not believing in the self, he challenged his limits in fear, and in the time of the style, he really refined a better self.
The next journey is the perfect ending continuation, and the beautiful end of his fantastic journey, which should have been his, because he deserved to be treated like this.
