Connection to the Alchemist

This Camel reminds me of the desert. In the alchemist when santiago and the englishmen are traveling through the desert to an oasis (the englishmen traveling to find the alchemist), they travel in a caravan with a camel driver who knows the right path and rules that everyone must follow in order to arrive at the oasis safely.

Changes in The Alchemist

In the book The Alchemist i've noticed that Santiago has changed. Hes traveled alot and has also talked to alot of wise men. Hes learned everything from raising sheep to being able to persue his personel legend and actually learn the one language that everyone speaks! Also known as the Universal language. I've also learned that Santiago is all about moving forward and discovering new things the world has to offer, not like the crystal merchant who decided not to travel to Mecca and not learn many things the world offers. Hes not only changed mentally but phyically too!! Now theirs parts in the book where i confuse Santiago for an arab man!, you know so hes changed practically inside out. Part one of the book was interesting, part two was also inteesting and now i cant wait to finish the book!

Dread Locks Letter ( Indie reading )

Dear Neal Shusterman,

The book Dread Locks is probably the most interesting book i have ever read. This book to me is not like any other books. The first thing that makes this book unique to me is that its starts off describing the characters and their enviorment. Most books i've read dont really start off like that. Anyways i also like the fact that Tara the new neighbor in town, is a very unique character. She hardley talks to anyone and she's also a type of person that pridicts the future. Theirs many part in the book where she says that evil things will happen and eventually they do so i think thats very cool. I also like that Tara is very observing, shes always aware of her surroundings and is never lost. Besides Dread locks being a good book i did come to some parts of the book were i lost total focus. When Tara, Parker, and Dante enter school Tara seems to lose total interest in Parker, i mean she like stops talking to him for about a week or two for no reason. After all Parker did for Tara she just out of know where stops talking to him?? Honestly i dont thing Parker did anything wrong for him to deserve this unkind punishment. Still today i question this part of the book...? Its a good book and im happy i read it.

Sincerely,

Jorge Anaya
