4. How does desire and fate play a role in pages 11-32? Be specific!!!
In the book fate and desire play an important role in Santiago's life. "It's this: that at a certain point in our lives, we lose control of what's happening to us, and our lives become controlled by fate. That's the worlds greatest lie." I do not agree with that quote. I believe you are in control of yourself all your life. Fate in my mind, will never just take control of your life, and you will always have the ability to make your own decisions. You are always accountable for your own actions. When people say, I don't need to go out of my way to find my true love, because fate will find him. That will never happen, unless you are truly made of luck, which nobody is. In the book the little boy has many desires. For example, to find the magical treasures in Egypt, and for the girl with beautiful raven hair to fall in love with him. "It's a force that appears to be negative, but actually shows you how to realize your Personal Legend. It prepares your spirit and your will, because there is one great truth on this planet: whoever you are, or whatever it is that you do, when you really want something, it's because that desire originated in the soul of the universe. It's your mission on earth." All in all I do believe in desire, and fate, but not that it can take over your life.

I agree with the fact that your fate isn't decided for. The point I don't agree upon is that there is no fate. You create your own fate; for example if you don't attempt to strive for a goal and fail to accomplish that endevour. That's not fate that made you fail, it was your own self ignorence. Although this is true fate also isn't a binded force but a thought t make humans strive for a self goal.
ReplyDeleteThink its good and I like all the quotes, their put in the best places they could be and work well with the text. I believe the same as you, that you control you're own fate no matter what and you lead your life down your own path. I liked it and the editing was great! ;)
