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.

The correct answer is A. An aside

Explanation:

In plays and similar literary forms, an aside refers to a dramatic device in which one of the characters of the story speaks to the audience usually reflecting about the story or his/her actions and thoughts. Additionally, this differs from other types of speeches and dialogues because an aside is not supposed to be heard by other character but only by the audience. Additionally, different from soliloquies or monologues an aside is usually short and might mainly act as a comment. Therefore, a piece of dialogue directed toward the audience but not other characters is basically an aside.

Answer:

Here is the correct version below.

Explanation:

Our class went on a spring trip to Baltimore, Maryland. It was really fun. In the morning, we strolled along the Inner Harbor and looked at all the sailboats. We saw a tropical rain forest and a coral reef at the National Aquarium in Baltimore. Later, we visited Fort McHenry. The flag that waved over this fort gave Francis Scott Key the idea to write "The Star-Spangled Banner." Finally, we toured the USS Constellation. It was one of the first U.S. warships built in 1797.
