The Alchemist - Most Memorable Moment - Kapilan

 In  my sectional reading the part of the book I really enjoyed was when Santiago regards his love for Fatima . “At that moment, it seemed to him that time stood still, and the Soul of the World surged within him.  When he looked into her dark eyes and saw that her lips were poised between a laugh and silence, he learned the most important part of the language that all the world spoke – the language that everyone on earth was capable of understanding in their heart. It was love … [Love] was the pure Language of the World.  It required no explanation, just as the universe needs none as it travels through endless time … When you know that language, it’s easy to understand that someone in the world awaits you, whether it’s in the middle of the desert or in some great city. And when two such people encounter each other, and their eyes meet, the past and the future become unimportant.  There is only that moment, and the incredible certainty that everything under the sun has been written by one hand only.  It is the hand that evokes love, and creates a twin soul for every person in the world.  Without such love, one’s dream would have no meaning … He realized that he had loved her before he even knew she existed.” This scene to me is the most memorable moment is because this is the scene when Santiago tells Fatima that love is language that everyone in the world speaks. He also tries to explain that his love is a sudden one but its very deep. 

This is also the most memorable moments because it really gives me a better insight of what love was. The love that Santiago showed is just quite divine. the love that they showed each other was so special because you learn that love is the "Language of the World". the key parts of this memorable scene was that they were able to communicate their love without any words. nevertheless Fatima does not define love as possessiveness, she looks at it as if it were a side of trust. She says  , "I want you to continue towards your goal."  All she wants is the trust from Santiago which he gives her, and she wants him to wander off and complete his journey so he can be successful. This shows the language of love in their life.
