The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho Personal Legend is Your Destiny There are 4 obstacles to overcome before you can achieve your Personal Legend People tell you that your dream is IMPOSSIBLE to achieve LOVE FEAR OF DEFEAT FEAR OF REALIZING THE DREAM

Paulo Coelho Born in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil in 1947 Successful career as popular songwriter. Dropped out of law school in 1970 Traveled through much of South America, North Africa, Mexico, and Europe. 1974 imprisoned short time by the military dictatorship then ruling in Brazil. 1980 walked the 500-plus mile Road of Santiago de Compostela in northwestern Spain. "I always knew,” he says, "that my Personal Legend, to use a term from alchemy, was to write.“

What is Alchemy? Medieval scientists practiced alchemy, hoping to produce gold from less valuable metals. (Turn metal into gold) They believed that all objects consist of water, air, fire and earth Founded in Egypt, alchemy was practiced throughout the Mediterranean regions and as far away as China Early alchemy was controversial and was opposed by many rulers and religions Alchemists also desired to develop potions, known as elixirs, to ensure good health and extend life spans. (The Philosophers Stone and/or The Elixir of Life)

Central Themes in The Alchemist Discover and pursue your Personal Legend despite the many distractions placed in our path Trust your heart Read the seemingly inconspicuous signs Understand that as you look to fulfill a dream, it looks to find you, if you let it Sometimes you can find extraordinary in the ordinary.

Archetypes in the Alchemist Character Archetypes The Child The Merchant The Alchemist Star Crossed Lovers The Englishman The King Situational archetypes The Task The Quest/Journey The Obstacles/Fall The Resolutions Symbolic archetypes The Oasis The Soul of the World The Unspoken Language The Language of the World Personal Legend Principle of Favorability Urim and Thummin Philosopher’s Stone Elixir of Life Emerald Tablet A symbol which recurs often enough in literature to be recognizable as an element of one's experience devises an elaborate classification of modes, symbols, myths, and genres. It establishes a comprehensive correspondence between the basic genres- comedy, romance, tragedy, and irony. And the myths and archetypal patterns associated with the seasonal cycle of spring, summer, fall, and winter.
