Answer:    The thieves represent all those who try to take a short cut on their journey and who, in doing so, fail to realize their Personal Legend.

                 The thieves harm the boy, but they are also an important part of his journey; Santiago would not have found his treasure without them.

Explanation:  Thieves in the Alchemist are portrayed as those who try to gain exclusively material values, so they try everything but not to live their Personal Legend, so they are unsuccessful in finding it, and therefore unsuccessful in finding material wealth. They did not want to get on the path of their Personal Legend, thinking they would be stupid if they believed in dreams. They thought it was crazy to go to Spain and find treasure beneath the old tree, just because they dreamed so. Instead, they decided to take away the valuables from travellers who came to see the pyramids.

Nevertheless, they are an important part of the journey of all those who have begun to search for their own Personal Legend, and so they are an important part of the young man's journey. Unconsciously, they helped a young man to discover where the treasure is in fact, even if they did not believe it. They are also an important part of everything a young man has learned on the journey of his Personal Legend.

What do these lines suggest about the narrator? He is disappointed that his gifts are not appreciated. He wishes he had not give
Vinvika [58]

This question is missing the excerpt. I've found the complete question online. It is as follows:

Read the following passage and answer the question.

I verily believe that buttoning himself up in so downy and blanket – like a coat had a pernicious effect upon him; upon the same principle that too much oats are bad for horses. In fact, precisely as a rash, restive horse is said to feel his oats, so Turkey felt his coat. It made him insolent. He was a man whom prosperity harmed.

What do these lines suggest about the narrator?

a) He is disappointed that his gifts are not appreciated.

b) He wishes he had not given away his favorite coat.

c) He worries that his employees are suffering.

d) He feels that people should be content with what they have.

Answer:

These lines suggest:

d) He feels that people should be content with what they have.

Explanation:

In the passage we are analyzing, the narrator is visibly criticizing someone for "feeling his coat," making a pun out of the expression "to feel his oats." <u>The person he is criticizing changed while wearing what seems to be a fancy coat. This transformation is disappointing to the narrator. It shows that that person is probably greedy. Instead of being happy with what he has, Turkey seems to want more and, when he does get some more, he changes, becomes "insolent". That is clearly something that bothers the narrator.</u>
