“The Alchemist is a beautiful and heartwarming story with an exotic favor...You may or may not agree with Paulo Coelho’s philosophy, but it’s nonetheless a tale that comforts our hearts as much as our souls.” -Bergensavisen.

According to the text it states, “The sun thought for a minute...the sun’s wisdom had its limitations. That it was unable to deal with this boy who spoke the Language of the World” (Coelho, 2014, p. 156). This quote demonstrates that the sun felt a connection with what the wind was doing. This means that Santiago has that connection with the hand that wrote it all which is why the sun sent Santiago to the hand that wrote it all. This quote relates to the real world because there are people who use telepathy which is to use the purported transmission of information from one person to another, and they do this to receive information through a connection. Another example is that Santiago realizes that he can perform wonders. The text states, “ The boy reached through to the Soul of the World, and saw that it was a part of the Soul of God.

Another example is that everyone can understand the language of love. According to the text it says, “ 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 (Coelho, 2014, p. 95).This quote demonstrates that after Santiago saw Fatima he immediately knew that she was going to be the one that was going to spend her whole life with him.
