Symbols

The three words 0or symbols that I used were: oasis, Alchemists, and the story of Narcissus.
In the dictionary oasis means a part of the desert. In the book the Alchemist, Coelo uses the oasis in the same way. Alchmist another of my words means (now) any power or process of transmuting a common substance, usually of little value, into a substance of great value. In the story the Alchemist the alchemist tells or helps Santiago in different ways. The story of narcissus relates to the book because Santiago has alttle of narcissism in order to persue his personal legend.

Relating the Alchemist

The picture matches the first Alchemist because the Santiago has to learn how to turn himself into the wind also he had to trust the wind. That is what this picture represents.

Refelexion On Presentations

I learned alot on the presentations. A few things that I learned in the presentation is first that you shouldn't trust a person when they tell you things especially if they want something from you. Another thign was that Santigago learned a few things his journey to his personal Legend. The third thing that I learned was that alot of Santigao's lessons have to do in a way with some obstacles that we or I have to face in real life. The fourth thing that I learned was that even though we are tempted to stop or just let our self go with the flow we have to in a way kind of gain control of our selves. Those are a few things that I learned from the presentaions.
