So far we have questions from Lesley & Megan and these are posted below.
- I find it strange that Santiago's own family feature so little in "his destiny" (page 28). How can a person totally wipe out those who apparently gave him a happy upbringing?
- I like the word 'maktub' - "It is written". Do we need such a word in our language? Do we have one, or a phrase?
- Am I right in assuming that the old king with the jewel encrusted breast plate, is the same person as the crystal seller, and the Alchemist? Or at least have some connection?
- How many true alchemist's feature in 'The Alchemist'?
- What period was 'The Alchemist' set in?
- Out of the many morals to this beautiful story, which one resonates with you?
Our SBC newsletter will be posted out on Wednesday this week so that Jan & everyone else can read it before Saturday!
If any one else has questions they want to contribute please add them to this post or send them, otherwise as usual please bring them along to the meeting on Saturday.
Looking forward to hearing all your opinions this Saturday.
