The Alchemist

The Alchemist is a book about a boy seeking his personal legend. I find really intersting that he is actually going to make that journey. What is really interesting is that the king told Santiago all about him, that Santiago had never told anyone. Why would a king be telling other people to chase their dreams when he's a king. I always though kings where like greedy or arrogant. But this king is not all about himself. So in this book the king's job is to tell people about their personal legends but what about the king? Where does the king get the information about the people he seeks. I wish someone could just come to me and tell what's my purpose in life and my purpose in this world. It would be much easier , but in real life you won't know your personal legend until your old

Reading this year...

Reading this semester so far has been great. I've read some great books. Lately I've been readin the Harry Potter series. I love them even more than the movies because they have more details and explain the theme better. I've just finished the sixth book and I need to get the seventh and last book The Deathly Hollows. They're so far my favorite books I've ever read. I've just finished readin the sixth book and it was sad because Dumbledore dies because Snape killed him and left with Draco but I always though Snape was good and I still believe it. I know Harry will defeat Voldemoert but I wonder how without Dumbledore. I think Harry, Hermione and Ron will look really deeply into the memories and find out were the Horcruxes are and they will tell the Order too about the memories and the Horcruxes and they all will find them and destroy them and defeat Voldemort and the Death Eaters.
