This image relates to The Alchemist because this girl is real pretty, just like the girl that Santiago feel in love with on his trip to the desert. Santiago described her as the most beautiful girl he's ever seen. The girl Santiago's in love with he wants to marry her. It was like love at first sight.

It Happened To Nancy

I think that all girls should read this book. The reason is because this way they could become aware that anything could happenen. Like Nancy she only had sex with one guy and she got aids. She has no idea of how that could happenen if she only has sex with one guy. The reason was because the guy that she had sex with had the HIV virus. This book is about a girl who falls in love with the wrong guy and is blinded by his sweatness and kindness. I think in a way it helps you a lot become aware that you can't really trust a guy who you barely met. Don't give him your everything until he proves to you he's real. At the end you might regret it if you did give him your everything.

The Alchemist

In the beginning of the book Santiago was a kid who believed that dreams could come true if you try and achieve them. He was a kid who was only looking to travel. So far he has learned that it's not that easy to achieve a dream, it takes a while and maybe you won't even get to achieve your dream. Also that there's other things in life than just traveling.
Santiago is totally different from the beginning. Before all he wanted to do was just be a Sheppard so he could travel. Now he wants to go to pyramids in Egypt just to find the treasure that he dreamed about. He now don't trust no stranger. He learned it from a bad experience.

Letter To The Author

Dear Author,
Well I've been reading the book It Happened To Nancy written by you. I'm really into it for some reason. It's very interesting because it talks about things that might happened to us teenagers in the real world if were careless. Like for example, Nancy got HIV because she feel in love with the wrong guy who lied to her about everything! He lied to her about his age. He said he was 18 when that fool was 24! Omg what a molester. He also told her she was one of a kind, his only one, and a very special girl who in the past days meant the world to him. The book helps girls in a way because it shows some things a guy could use to get a girl to give him what he really wants, which is sex. This guy, Collin, raped Nancy. I think this way pretty scandelous since she gave him all her trust and technically fell in love with him.
I got a couple of questions I need to ask you though. Does Nancy's father know she has HIV? How did her mom take it when she found out Nancy had HIV? How did she tell her mom? Why doesn't she just tell Lew that she has HIV since she loves him, according to her. I would really like the answers to these questions but there is no way I could get them. But I would just want to ask you trough a letter. Well thank you for taking the time to read this letter.
Sincerely, Angela Bolanos
