Rise Of Santiago

The Andes consists of the Andes mountain range and the surrounding areas. Each of these regions experienced booms and lulls in the constantly changing silver economy, while simultaneously changing the dynamic of local societies. Despite the differences in the changes that occurred in each region, all three societies were significantly shaped during the 16th and 17th centuries. These changes were also accompanied by continuities of indigenous culture and government adapted to benefit the Spanish colonial rule. Indigenous ways of life would not dissipate easily, much to the apprehension of the rulers of Spanish America. By analyzing the changes and continuities of each region of Spanish America, while also utilizing the effects of ethnic identities, it becomes apparent the drastic changes that the global silver economy had on the societies and culture of not only indigenous people but also Spanish colonist and their black

Before the Chilean War of Independence, Chile was colonized by Spain. The Spaniards colonized Chile in hopes of discovering another Peru, another country plentiful with precious metals. Finding none, the Spaniards began to focus on developing Chile agriculturally. Due to the poverty of the country, there were few slaves and the settlers had to often work the fields themselves. Not many settlers stayed due to the fact that they couldn’t profit from gold, but their influence was still strong. The citizens of Chile had to be under the rule of the Spanish crown, and a strong class structure developed in Chile

Santiago,the boy who was born in a priest’s family and was put up to become a priest.But ever since he had been a child,he had wanted to know the world ,and this was much more important than knowing about God and learning about mans’ sins.He summed up courage and told his father that he want travel all over the world and learn.He is a humble shepherd whose desires are few–he wants to be free to roam with his sheep, to have some wine in his wineskin and a book in his bag. Fate intervenes, however, in the form of the recurring dream of a great treasure hidden thousands of miles away at the base of the Egyptian Pyramids. When Santiago meets melchizedek, a strange wise man who claims he is a king from a far-off land, he decides to seek his treasure. The next day, Santiago sells his sheep and embarks to Africa to pursue his dream.

In the book The Alchemist, Santiago was on his journey to find his Personal Legend. Throughout the book, he overcame many obstacles like understanding his Personal Legend, his journey to complete it and finding his Personal Legend. In the book, it is said that to lead a satisfying life you must first complete your Personal Legend. Santiago will be severely tested throughout his journey to find his Personal Legend. In order for Santiago to find his Personal Legend, he needs to understand what one is.

The Alchemist has many inspiring and relatable quotes that readers can understand and learn from. One of my favorites is when Santiago thinks to himself, “The closer one gets to realizing his Personal Legend, the more that Personal Legend becomes his true reason for being” (72). This quote means that when you commit yourself to achieving some goal or completing some task, the more enthusiastic you will become. That one thing will be what gives you joy in life. Once you put in the effort, you will live a happy life and you will have realized why you are here on Earth. While I haven’t necessarily fully realized my personal legend in my own life, I can relate this idea to my personal experiences. I have been playing and writing music for a pretty

In the fictional novel, The Alchemist, by Paulo Coelho, the protagonist, Santiago sets out on a journey to find the treasure and to follow his “Personal Legend.” A personal legend, as referred to in The Alchemist, is one's destiny in life. It states our purpose in life and pursuing it.Throughout his quest, he encounters many people who guide him closer towards his goal. He is able to continue his journey and learns much about himself through moments of courage and doubt. His experiences and his determination help him to pursue his dream and eventually reach the treasure.

Santiago started with the desire to travel and being a shepherd was to way to fulfill this desire. He has traveled many miles and seen many cities with his sheep. His only concerns are the wellbeing of him and his sheep and the merchants daughter, which isn’t saying much. But as the story progressed, Santiago’s focus shifted. When he was in Tangier daydreaming about the pyramids and drinking tea, his focus was Arabic, the treasure, and how to get there. When he worked for the crystal merchant, his goals were to get money, return to Andalusia, and regain his flock. When Santiago was in the desert, his focus was the language of the desert, the safety of the caravan, and his treasure. When he arrived in the oasis, Fatima changed his focus again

In other words, Santiago, may have wanted to give up, but it was his courage to go on with doing the task that he knew he had to complete, even if in the end he failed. He went on with courage, dignity and grace. It's kind of a metaphor for life, you can be destroyed by what happens to you, like if you have cancer, but it will never defeat you if you don't let it. You can be destroyed simply by hearing bad news, but it's up to you to turn that around so the bad news doesn't win in the end.Santiago goes fishing day after day even though he is on a "losing streak," as we might say today. He hasn't caught a fish for a very long time. He survives only because the boy brings him bits of food. But he doesn't quit. He continues to fish everyday

Santiago was the true meaning of courage,he was able to know the rights and wrongs that he went through and he still stood up for what he believed in. Hemingway wrote “But a man is not made for defeat. A man can be destroyed but not defeated.” Santiago never gave up even with the challenges the marlin put him through or the bate the he was able to catch at times but the sharks stole from him. Santiago just keeps trying without one complaint and never gave up so easily. Santiago was never beaten by the marlin he will just accept the loss that he just had but will go back out to sea and try again until he gets what he wants.

My main focus of this story is the boy, whose name is Santiago. Santiago is the main character of the book, The Alchemist. He is the protagonist of this story and faces many challenges. This child was born in a small town in Andalusia, who attended the seminary, but now he travels around the world.

Marquez uses the symbolism of Santiago's dreams to foreshadow his forthcoming death. Santiago's mother, Placida Linero, reports to the narrator that's before his death Santiago had a sequence of dreams. She says, "he'd dreamed that he was alone in a tinfoil airplane and flying through the almond trees without bumping into anything" (Marquez 3). This dream can be symbolized as Santiago's life at the beginning of the novella. The almond trees represent the townspeople in that almond trees are similar to the skin color of Columbian people. "Without bumping into anything" signifies that Santiago avoids causing and becoming involved with problems with the people in his town. His mother also tells the narrator "he'd dreamed he was going through

Religious pilgrimages were the first type to start the trend. They date way back to before the medieval times. These journeys were usually done by foot and sometimes by horse. The reason people participate in pilgrimages is that they believe that their sins can be cleared and in some cases whatever is wrong with them can be healed. Many pilgrim sites entail starting at point A and ending at point B. These usually consist of some relic who is related to a religion, or a location that is believed to be sacred, is present, or has visited. The Camino de Santiago ends at the tomb of one of Jesus’s apostles, Saint James. Before, during, and after the Camino de Santiago, the pilgrims are responsible of performing certain rituals that, if done
