Most Memorable Moment - Terry Eugine

     In this book I found many interesting scenes that I thought was most captured my attention. The most memorable moment that I thought most appealed to me was when Santiago had a dream of himself and an old lady. This dream of his was about how Santiago had approached an old lady so that he could learn more from his dreams. As the old lady was talking, Santiago did not seem to care what she was saying, and he was trying to leave the place, but the old lady refused.
     
     Later on in his dream, a child had taken Santiago's hands and transported him to the Egyptian pyramids. Then the child had said to Santiago that if he comes here, he would be able to find a hidden treasure. Eventually, the old women took Santiago's hands again and studied them carefully. Then she said to Santiago that she is not going charge him anything, but she demanded one-tenth of the treasure.

    I find this part of the novel the most memorable moment because later on in the novel, Santiago meets a man that also demanded one tenth of Santiago's sheep. Then at this point, Santiago realizes that his dream was really similar to the reality. Santiago's dream really foreshadows his future, and realizing that whatever happens in his dream it, he may face the similar content in his reality. 

     After Santiago had asked the old lady to interpret the dream. The old lady had said to Santiago to swear on her while looking at the Sacred Heart of Jesus that he would give her the one-tenth of the treasure. Santiago then feels very lost and later on promises to the old lady. There were many moments where Santiago expresses himself, but there are a minority of scene where he is interacting with one another, and this is why I think this part of the story would be the most memorable in the novel.
