4. How does desire and fate play a role in pages 11-32? Be specific!!!
Fate and desire is what the whole chapter was about. Santiago desire was to be a traveller, and his fate was to find the treasure. Desire plays the role that sparks your dream, makes you do what you want to do while fate plays the role of what you are supposed to do in life, what you were born for. Everybody in the book has desire and something he is supposed to accomplish. Most people put the desire away and settle for something normal. Then they never end up doing what they want or supposed to do. If you do what you desire you turn out happy with your life. PG 22 "The soul of the world is nourished by people's happiness. Desrie and fate are the reasons why Santiago did what he did. The baker didn' t fill his desire to travel, but instead he settled to be baker, while the miner filled his desire and fate because he put everything away. Fate may sometimes cost you everything you have but in the end it will come out to your advantage. Desire and fate are big themes in this book and help to make the book a stroy.
I personally do not agree totally with fate. I do believe that if you do a good thing something good you will happen to you and if you do something wrong, something bad will happen to you. But I dont believe in fate because if you live a good life and do good deeds you will have a good life but bad things will happen to you. Bad thing and good things will happen to every person and fate can't change that. Aslo fate is usually telling someone that a specific thing will happen in their lives and they can't change that which I believe is wrong. You can always change what you want to do and you will always have a choice, fate can't decide what will happen, only the person can. I believe totally in desire. I think everyone has a desire that they want to accomplish. I think most people dont accomplish their desire and I think most people wish they would of. I think people desires make their life more exicting and fun and will bring many great things if they accomplish them. Desire I believe plays a huge role in life while fate only plays a small part.

I completely agree with fate controlling people and not letting us choose what we want to do. I also like how you said can't change things with fate and that people who agree with fate can't control, and only the person can change who they will become. Desire does play a huge part and people can change their lives with it.
ReplyDeleteHit it on the spot. I agree totally about how fate is not real. Although you said "I believe fate is not completely real", I personally don't think that it is real at all. No matter what circumstances you are in, I believe that if you have the will power you can lead your life in any direction you choose; and especially lead yourself away from unfortunate times and struggles.
ReplyDeleteI am in complete agreement with you about fate. I believe that fate lies within the hands of the individual. If we listen to our desires then the outcome of our fate will be much different from if we ignore our longings and settle down to a life we are unhappy with. Fate can certainly be altered depending on the decisions you make in life. Few things in life are definite, fate is most surely not. The only thing we can rely on is change. Both the concepts of fate and change are drastically different things.
