Novel Review: The Alchemist

 



The crux of the novel is mouthed by the alchemist himself – “When you want something, the whole universe conspires in helping you to achieve it”. Throughout Santiago’s journey, a multitude of simple yet profound philosophies is presented, right from the beginning of the book. Coelho infuses these into the story in a charming manner which does not burden the reader.
Different readers will find different things to enjoy in the book. For me, the most interesting aspect of the book was not the protagonist, but the magical stones, Urim and Thummim.

 ******I'm finding myself****** When the silence speaks, and the world zips I meet someone,  Someone, who I think I know very much, Probably he's just like me. .............................................. He's my best friend, 'cause he talks to me all-day But I don't really like him much, I want him to STOP, I want him QUITE, But he never pricks up ears. ............................................. The more I stop him the more he talks, And often overshadows me. He ceases me to talk with anyone else, And wants, me to talk with him only. ..............................................  He doesn't want me to make new friends, And for this, he doesn't let me speak. I want this to end, but I don't understand "HOW" .......................................... I tell him, to go to his home, And make new friends there, But he always replies weirdly and says, "MY HOME IS INSIDE YOU"

Movie name : Spiderman: Far From Home Movie type: Action, Science fiction Spider-Man: Far From Home' is a lot of fun but more importantly, the film is also a satisfying continuation and way forward for the MCU, as Tom Holland proves he’s more than capable of carrying an Avengers’ film on his young shoulders. Peter is struggling with who he is – a school going teenager who really likes his classmate MJ (Zendaya), and who he is meant to become – Tony Stark’s successor. The plot is mostly built around this problem, and Tom Holland brings a lot of nuance and depth to both angles. Peter’s affable demeanor is now well-established, but Holland also makes this Spider-Man a more significant force to be reckoned with, and that’s saying something.
