Writing Workshop What are the components of a successful analysis essay? Essay Task Write a unified, coherent essay about the human component of Santiago’s personal journey. In your essay, be sure to:
The Hero’s Journey While Joseph Campbell’s definition of the Hero’s Journey includes twelve defined stages, the truth is that the journey is non-linear; it twists, repeats, and presents the hero with numerous obstacles that test their character and capacity. This is evident in Paulo Coelho’s The Alchemist through Santiago’s quest to find the treasures of the pyramids and fulfill his personal legend. Select one prompt from below to explore in a written essay due at the end of the hour. During this time, you may only have your essay, writing utensil, writing prompt with mind map and book on your desk. Read and carefully consider these perspectives. Each suggests a particular way of thinking about Santiago’s journey based on evidence from the text.
Silent Reading
Once you have completed your essay, please silently raise your hand and I will pick it up. Then read The Alchemist silently. Home learning is to finish the novel by next Tuesday, January 23, 2018.

“Is it not crystal clear, comrades, that all the evils of this life of ours spring from the tyranny of human beings? Only get rid of Man, and the produce of our labour would be our own. Almost overnight we could become rich and free. What then must we do? Why, work night and day, body and soul, for the overthrow of the human race! That is my message to you, comrades: Rebellion! I do not know when that Rebellion will come, it might be in a week or in a hundred years, but I know, as surely as I see this straw beneath my feet, that sooner or later justice will be done. Fix your eyes on that, comrades, throughout the short reminder of your lives! And above all, pass on this message of mine to those who come after you, so that future generations shall carry on the struggle until it is victorious” (9).
