“My Favorite Best Scene”
-When Santiago was still in the abandoned Church at Andalusia taking care of the flock of sheep.

VII. Valuing
The value that I learned from the novel is that we need to fulfill our personal legend in life or simply God’s calling to us. Also through our own journeys we gain knowledge and meet some people who will become parts of our own life. I realized that we should really strive for our dreams, and by doing it we may become successful in the path that we chose to pursue.

We should always remember that we are all here on Earth BY HIS and FOR HIS purpose.
THE END…
