Paper Topic

So i guess for this blog we are supposed to write about the topic that we want to write our paper on. My idea is to do something with the omens throughout the story. I feel that they played a very large role in the book. I was thinking somewhere along the lines of the significance of the omens throughout the book. I might write about how omens in the book are related to omens in life today. Such as the importance of reading omens in the world today. I don't know though. Its just an idea.

The Alchemist

So as I was reading through this book, I started to notice how well the boy is at learning new things. Such as learning about the crystal in the shop and also everything about the camel that he is riding. The boy must have a good memory because when he reads a book, he doesn't forget it very easily. I'm almost read ahead because I want to know what the Alchemist's part in the story is, but i figured i'd just wait.
