Quote Conversation #3


Yes, what is love. It's what makes the game become a falcon, the falcon become a man, and man, in his turn, the desert.(pg.145)


My thoughts on this statement is that Santiago now understands what love really is and how to turn himself into the wind. Now after his experiences in the real world and the challenging desert,that he knows what love really is a very powerful force that affects the world.

1) The Revelation

2) Santiago gets stuck working in a crystal shop for a unpland amount of time. When hes done he joins a carvan that would take him on a difficult journey across the desert. Santiago understands what he must do to get to his goal and begins to have more self a steam towards himself to sucess.

3) In the revelation, the intiate changes from his/hers oldself to a new person and make a different path. He decides to work at a crysral shop to go back to Andalusia and buy a bigger flock of sheep because he has given up on his dream of being a sherpherd.

"If at least not used, the next time they might not function. If at least one of them hasn't been used by the end of the day tomorrow, one will be used on you.
   
   I think this is important to Santiago because who would want to get killed for not doing something you were told to do? Why would you get something done to you if you didn't do what that person told you to do?

" And you ought to read more about the world" (pg.78)


I think this quote means that the need to know more about the world and how it works. People need to know how the world is and what is does to people or things.

Why do you need to know more about the world?
