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

What has This reading Book Done for Me.??

The book Matilda just made me think that even though it's a fiction book some of the things in it could be true. Like the fact that some little kids could be too smart for their age like my little brother. Freaky, but true.
What I learned about myself was that I really don't like to read. Specially not books that are about little kids. I noticed that even thought I read the book and finished it it don't catch my interest. I'm more into the books that are about relationships.
What I learned about others by reading this book was that some people actually thought this book was interesting. I learned that it's not like I think, not everyone has my same interests.
I should keep on reading more and more to improve my reading score and to do better in school. Also i could learn new words that I didn't know before and that's one of the best benefits of reading.
The funny thing about this book was the little stick figures the illustrator drew on the book. It's like he didn't even want to do it. I understood the pictures and that's a good thing but the pictures we too ugly! Ugly enough to scare a little kid.

What's Gonna Happen To Her.?

Well I'm reading the book Matilda by Roald Dahl. I predict that at the end of the book Matilda, the main character, is probably going to end up living happily ever after. I doubt that she's going to stay living with her parents because with her mind powers she could do anything. I doubt she wants to stay with her parents because they try to make her life miserable. I think she's probably going to go live with her in her teacher Ms.Honey. She loves her like a mom. A perfect mom she never had.

Life Connections To My Book

Recently, I have read the book called Matilda by Roald Dahl. This book is about a little girl who's too smart for her age and has like brain powers or something. I think this book is related to my real life expierence in a way because right now I think my little brother is too smart for his age. He's barely 6 and he already knows how to add and subtract, he knows too many words for his age. Sometimes he scares me beause he sometimes comes up with these weird words that I don't even know the meaning of till he tells me it. He knows a lot of the words used it the Star Wars movies, like, "Andriod". I didin't even know whta that ment till now. Also it's like he has some weird kinda powers.lol When ever he's mad at me, he can turn people mad at me like my mom and dad. I hate that. So that's how my little brother is kinda related to the little girl Matilda in the book.

Dream's Importance

I think that dreams are not really important. They are just part of your fear or something you want but will never happen. In the Alchemist Santiago decided to follow his dream because I guess It meant a lot to him and he wanted it to come true. If I were in his case and I had a dream that I really wanted, I wouldn't go for it even though I would really want it. I wouldn't go for it because I know dreams NEVER come true. So why waste my time and try? It won't be worth my time.
I think that dream interpretation is probably true because it tells you what your dreams mean. Like it translates the to real life. But dream interpretation just tells you why your probably dreaming about it for. It don't say it's going to happen.
For example the last couple nights I been dreaming about getting rich. And that isin't because t's actually going to happen. It's just because I'm thinking about money too much these days. Also I had dram that I had a new boyfriend and had broken up with mine. That won't happen because I don't want it to happen. The future Is up to me, not up to the dreams I have.

Girl Like Matilda.???

This picture is related to the book Matilda by Roald Dahl, That I had read in the past. The book is about a little girl who is too smart for her age. In other words she's advanced. The picture here on the side is just like it because it has a little girl about the age of 3 reading a book. At that age no little kid really thinks about reading.
