This week we began our Multimodal Project with our groups. My group is Sophie, Lauryn and Haley and we chose to read the book, "The Alchemist". Basically, all we did the whole week was read. We assigned roles to everyone but then we started reading and taking notes on our book. I actually really like the book, it's a lot more interesting than I expected it to be. I'm actually learning things about life which I didn't expect. The boy, Santiago has a really unique way of looking at life. He observes others and nature and uses those observations to learn about life. The advice he was given from the old king is always in the back of his mind as he responds to different omens and chases after his own Personal Legend. I like it because it breaks down how easily people will give up on their dreams, a lot of the times unintentionally because they create a synthetic happiness. It is reminding me and encouraging me to keep pursuing my original goal for my life.
