THE ALCHEMIST CONNECTS TO MY LIFE BECAUSE THE KID IS AN ADVENTURER AND I AM AN ADVENTURER AND I LIKE TO HAVE FUN ONCE AND A WILL. THE OTHER WAY THE BOOK CONNECTS TO ME IS THAT WE ARE STRUGALING FOR MONEY the other thing that THE BOOK RELATS TO ME IS THAT I ALSO HAVE A PRECIOUS THING THAT I WOULDNT GIVE UP.
