The Alchemist is a
novel by Paulo Coelho. In the first 20
pages of the novel there are only two characters that are mentioned. We are introduced
to a boy name Santiago a his desire love he has for a girl whose name we haven't
be mentioned yet. Personally I don't have no interest in reading books but, I
am really interested on reading further throughout the novel. Although the author
does use some difficult vocabulary which gets me confused by on the other hand
it is a book I recommend reading.
It is quite interested
on how the author starts the novel. The author gives no background or anything,
he starts off by "A boy name Santiago". Witch had me thinking on what the author
would convey through this character. There is also a lot of suspense and hints
that will foreshadow throughout the novel. I as reader not interested in books
but I do enjoy suspense and this made me reading further on. Furthermore Paulo
Coelho did a great job on the setting because you can acutely create an image
in your head what is going on. This helps most readers such as I or anyone else
who looks forward to reading this book.
Santiago who we only
get introduced to is a shepherd and he loves to travel. But he has a desire
love for a girl who is illiterate but her name we are not mentioned. Santiago
being a shepherd and who is always traveling we can assume that he will have to
forget about his love towards her and will encounter many things. The setting
takes place in a Spanish town name Tarifa. Santiago knows a lot of people and
has many friends because he is always travelling.
In conclusion this book
so far looks like it's a romantic novel. Due to the fact Santiago loves this
girl but whose name he hasn't come across yet. But as a shepherd who is always
travelling he might go through some challenges that will make him forget about
his love. Although this is a romantic novel there is a lot of suspense which
will make you going and on how its make me read further on.
