Alchemist

Research Question
How does The Alchemist relate to the law of attraction?

1. Don't let the bad/small things get in your way/ bring you down.
- theives, tribe encounters, near death experiences
2. The universe conspires to help you achieve your goal.
-The king, the alchemist, omens, wind, sun, God
3. You have to keep your eye on the end result, not on how you are going to get there because you have no control over it.
-Boy was planning to go to the pyramids right away, not realizing what his journey was going to teach him. (oasis, chrystal shop)

Thesis
The Alchemist is similar to the law of attraction by showing us that the universe conspires to help us achieve what we truly want, no matter what obstacles stand in our way, as long as we keep our focus on our goal.

The Alchemist

A couple things I've noticed going on in the Alchemist is the main character really is looking to find his inner self and really gives up everything to find his own way.  I have also noticed that the shepard boy is very trusting of others and learns to follow his own intuition even when things don't make sense around him, just like in Alice.  I think the main story line is very interesting because it touches on the topic of the law of attraction.  I just recently watched a movie called The Secret that discussed the same type of concept that this book talks about (personal legend).  It's very interesting to read the older version of the same concept and then have the more modern version laid out in a movie.
