The Alchemist was written by Paulo Coelho, this book is about a young boy name Santiago who has a couple of dreams about finding hidden treasure by the pyramids in Egypt.In the beginning of the story when we meet Santiago he was a shepherd, who had many sheep and had a dream to travel. Santiago was a busy shepherd, he had a big crush on a merchants daughter but instead of visiting her he meets a a lady who can see the future and tells him that he will find the treasure by the pyramids, but if he does he has to give her one tenths of his sheep. Than later on he meets a king who says the same thing about finding the treasure and gives Santiago two stones and says if you find the treasure i want one tenths of your gold. Santiago agrees to both of the deals and than starts to travel. When Santiago arrives in Spain he winds up getting robbed by two boys and takes all his money that he had, that's when Santiago travels up a hill and starts working for a crystal merchant. Santiago winds up working for the crystal merchant for over a year and gets a lot of money and becomes close with the merchant. He thought of many ideas for the shop, he than tries to get the merchant to travel with him to the pyramids and even the merchants personal dream but he doesn't agree to go. Santiago starts to travel to the pyramids and that's when he meets the Englishmen. Santiago than meets a girl name Fatima and falls in love with her. He than has to leave the girl and promises he'll be back. Santiago keeps traveling and meets the alchemist and winds up going through the camps that are at war, the army makes Santiago turn into the wind. Santiago was able to pull it off, the army took his money and let him and the alchemist go on. The alchemist than gives Santiago gold and than leaves so now Santiago is on his own and is almost to the pyramids. When Santiago gets closer to the pyramids he gets beat up again and they take his gold, Santiago tells them hes traveling because of a dream and they let him go. Santiago then gets to the pyramids and find the treasure he's been looking for. I didn't mind reading this book, i just wish it was more entertaining and didn't lag as much as it did. I think i wouldn't tell someone to read this unless they want to read a story that is boring. I would have never read this book unless i had to for school.

Twist of Fate

Rebecca Leung's "Twist of Fate" is an article about two girls that were born in Mexico, than weeks later one of the girls that's name Adriana Scott was adopted from a family from America. The family from New York flew down to Mexico to bring home their adopted daughter. When they got home they shortly found that Adriana had a twin sister that was in Mexico but that the birth mother ran away with her. A year later they found out that Adriana's twin sister was in America with a adopted family, they thought she was living by Canada. Adriana's parents never planned on telling her that she had a twin sister that was living in America, but one day everything turned for the best and Adriana found out that she had a twin sister. Some boy that Adriana knew said that he knew a girl that looked like her and he was talking to Tamara Rabi, and found out that they were sisters. He than told Adriana what Tamara's email was and they shortly started talking over email and sent each other pictures because Tamara and her roommate didn't believe Adriana. Adriana than confronted her parents about having a twin sister and they told her everything from they day she was adopted. Before this Adriana and Tamara didn't talk for twenty years and was magically connected, the crazy thing is that they lived 25 miles away from each other and never connected before that day. I believe that this was a coincidence, its crazy who you know in the world. As everyone says its a small world and a lot of people know each other, they are just lucky that know have reconnected after all theses years.
