MY READING

WELL TODAY MY READING WENT WELL..I GOT FURTHER IN MY BOOK AND I'M ALMOST DONE..I THINK THIS TIME I DIDN'T LET ANYTHING DISTACT ME SO I WAS ABLE TO CONCENTRATE AND THAT WAS GOOD FOR ME..I'M STILL READING ALWAYS RUNNING..THIS BOOK IS SO INTERESTING..THIS BOOK CAUGHT MY ATTENTION THE FIRST TIME I SAW IT..THE COVER IS WHAT GOT MY ATTENTION..I KNOW THIS BOOK WILL HAVE MY ATTENTION UNTIL I FINISH THE BOOK SO THAT'S GOOD BECAUSE I'LL BE ABLE TO FINISH A BOOK AND IT'LL PROBABLY BE THE FIRST TIME I FINISH A BOOK THAT I LIKED..I'M REALLY HAPPY WIOTH MY CHOICE OF BOOK AND I'M GOING TO TRY TO FIND MORE BOOKS LIKE IT...

MY THOUGHTS SO FAR ON READING

WELL READING SO FAR HAS BEEN FUN..I'VE READ BOOKS THAT ACTUALLY INTEREST ME..I HAVEN'T STARTED MY THIRD BOOK BUT MY BROTHER RECOMMENDED THE BOOK, "REPUBLIC OF EAST L.A."HE SAID THAT IT WOULD BE A GOOD BOOK..THE BOOK TAKES PLACE WHERE I LIVE SO I MIGHT BE ABLE TO RELATE TO THE BOOK AND REALLY KNOW WHERE EVERYTHING TAKES PLACE..I THINK I DID GOOD ON MY BOOK TALK.I DIDN'T FINISH MY BOOK BUT I NEW ALL THE ANSWERS TO THE QUESTIONS I WAS ASKED AND I BROUGHT A VISUAL AID SO I DID GOOD..I THOUGHT IT WAS FAIR BECAUSE I WAS ASKED QUESTIONS AND I ALSO I ALMOST FINISHED THE BOOK..I THOUGHT IT WAS AN EASY ASSIGNMENT BECAUSE I WAS PREPARED..

ALWAYS RUNNING

.:THE CONNECTIONS BETWEEN MY LIFE AND THIS BOOK ARE THAT WE HAVE BOTH HAD A HARD LIFE.:I GUESS YOU CAN SAY WE HAVE BOTH HAVE LIVED IN THE GHETTO AND WE TRY TO LIVE A BETTER LIFE BUT WE JUST KEEP GETTING SUCKED BACK..BUT I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS BOOK TO ANYONE BUT ESPECIALLY TO MY HOMEGIRL ANA.SHE HAS BEEN THRU ALL OF DIS..SHES HAD A HARD LIFE LIVING WITH GANG MEMBERS AND ALMOST RUINING HER LIFE...WE'VE ALL HAD A KRAZY LIFE BUT WE CAN DEFINITELY GET PAST IT IF WE CAN GET THRU ALL OF THE OBSTACLES THAT WE HAVE FACED.: BUT WE CANT ALWAYS BE RUNNING AWAY BECAUSE WE'LL HAVE TO FACE EVERYTHING EVENTUALLY.:

MY CONNECTIONS WITH THE MOVIE AND THE ALCHEMIST

SO FAR THE MOVIE HAS BEEN INTERESTING AND FUNNY..SOME OF THE THINGS THEY HAVE IN COMMON IS THAT BOTH ARE OUTGOING AND WANT TO FIND OUT WHAT WILL HAPPEN NEXT... THEY LEARN THAT EVERYTHING CAN AND THERE IS TO FIND OUT BUT YOU JUST HAVE TO BELIEVE AND YOU CAN ACCOMPLISH WHAT THEY SET THEIR HEARTS TO...SOME OF THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN SANTIAGO AND EVERETT AND SANTIAGO IS THAT SANTIAGO IS MOSTLY IN IT FOR HIS PERSONAL LEGEND AND EVERETT WANTS TO GET MONEY AND BE FREE..BUT THERE IS A LOT OF DIFFERENT REASONS FOR WHY THERE IS MANY CONNECTIONS BETWEEN THEM...

ME AND SANTIAGO

I THINK THAT CARING FOR SOMEONE AND HAVING TO MAKE A DECISION WOULD REALLY HAVE TO BE VERY HARD.YOU MIGHT HAVE TO LISTEN TO WHAT THEY HAVE TO SAY AND THEN THEY MIGHT NOT AGREE WITH WHAT YOU HAVE TO SAY.SO YOU HAVE TO BE ABLE TO UNDERSTAND BOTH SIDES AND SEE WHICH ONE WOULD BE THE BEST FOR BOTH PEOPLE.SO HAVING SOMEONE ELSE ON YOUR BACK AND HAVE TO MAKE A DECISION MIGHT BE DIFFICULT.

SYMBOLS OF THE ALCHEMIST

URIM:CURSES
THUMMIM:FAULTLESS
CARAVAN:TRAVELLERS JOURNEYING TOGETHER
OASIS:A WATERED FERTILE AREA IN A DESERT

ALL THESE WORDS MAKE SENSE WITH WHAT COELHO IS SAYING.ALL THIS MAKES SENSE AND FITS IN INTO THE STORY AND SANTIAGO.THE CARAVAN IS WHERE SANTIAGO IS TRAVELLING AND THEN HE THINKS HE PROBABLY FOUND OUT WHAT HIS PERSONAL LEGEND.

SANTIAGO AND THE BOOKS

BOOKS
THIS IMAGE RELATES TO THE ALCHEMIST BECAUSE SANTIAGO HAD BEGAN TO READ SOME BOOKS BY TRYING TO FIND WHAT ALCHEMY MEANT AND TRY TO LEARN SOMETHING NEW.SANTIAGO HAD LEARNED THAT THE WORLD HAD A SOUL.BUT THE ENGLISHMAN WASN'T SATISFIED BY WHAT HE HEARD.NOT ONLY DID HE NOT HEAR WHAT HE WANTED BUT HE SAW THAT SANTIAGO WASN'T ALL THAT IMPRESSED.SANTIAGO ALSO FELT THAT HE DIDN'T LEARN ANYTHING
