The first twenty page of The Alchemist had brought me full attention and I wanted to know more of what was going on. So far, I find the book very interesting to read by how the words are presented to the reader, and the flow of the story. Personally, I like reading books that are from African countries because that is where I find my comfort of reading, and it shows the characteristics of their culture, which therefore I admire.
As a reader I know that this book is from the African countries because by the main characters name, which is Santiago, and where the setting of the story is taken place, which is a Spanish town of Tarifa. Books that involve talking about the main characters life, and their opinions, allows me to follow through what they are going through in their life, and these type of books lead to become more attentive to the novel, and makes me understand more of what their struggle in life is.

I believe that the theme of the novel is fate because I think that further on in the novel. there will be scenes where one of the characters will determine their developments of events beyond their control, as regarded by a supernatural power. I feel that this book would be a perfect example of fate because of the characteristics being used. some predictions that I have from this book would be maybe Santiago will fall in love with the merchants daughter, and also he might have more dreams to come that may happen in the reality which may also might foreshadow what is going to happen next.
There are many more events to come in the story which I cannot wait to read. I also think that this might not be the best book I ever read, but over all it seems to be a a very catchy book. Some negative thoughts that I think would be how the introduction was need more catchy phrases to catch the readers attention, also made it very formal. the introduction was also not in a flow because they started it off by a persons name which I thought to be very unsatisfying.
Overall, I still think that this novel is a very interesting novel to read, and I am glad that we as a group had chose this book. I still am excited to read further on in the novel, and finding out if my predictions were correct. I also found the theme of love going on in this novel. I know this because as Santiago travels around the world, he finds the girl of his dreams which is the merchants daughter. This is what I think of this book as a reader.
