“But here he was, at the point of finding his treasure, and he reminded himself that no project is complete until its objective has been achieved” (160 – 161).
Santiago, the boy who once was unsure of whether or not he wanted to complete his personal legend, now finds himself determined to finish until his dream is complete. Here he reminds us that he is indeed a dynamic character, who changes more than once throughout his journey. An interesting character, Santiago becomes one with whom the reader can relate to. He is even one with which we root for. He does not settle for his wealth and status and life with Fatima but rather embarks on an adventurous journey to discover his vocational calling. This is a quality that many readers must express content for with Santiago. He has a passion to succeed. He chooses to fully finish his calling and what he set out to do. I for one can relate, whether it be a sports game or a school paper, I like to finish what I have started. This is just one of the many ways in which we can relate and analyze Santiago.
