Answer:
Santiago and the alchemist travel cautiously over the next two days while they pass through the area where the tribal fighting is worst. Santiago tells the alchemist his heart doesn’t want him to continue because it fears it will lose everything. The alchemist replies that no heart suffers while it pursues its dreams, because to pursue a dream is to encounter God. The next morning, Santiago’s heart tells him that everyone who has God within him feels happy, and that everyone on earth has a treasure waiting for him. Santiago tells the alchemist he has come to peace with his heart.
The next day, three tribesmen approach Santiago and the alchemist. They insist on searching the pair, and discover that the alchemist carries the Philosopher’s Stone and the Elixir of Life. The tribesmen laugh when the alchemist tells them about the magical properties of his possessions, and they allow to the two to continue on. Santiago asks the alchemist why he told the men about his possessions, and the alchemist replies that people seldom believe a person carrying treasures.

Answer&Explanation:They all carry literal and figurative burdens.
We find characters carrying heavy physical loads but also this is accompanied by emotional loads , which are grief,terror ,longing and love.
Physical burdens underscores their emotional burden
For example ,Henry Dobbins, has his girlfriend's pantyhose because he is longing for that love and comfort.
They also carry fear that they can't show their emotions because it will display their vulnerability.
When the war is over they still have psychological burdens that still follows them such as guilt and grief and trying to come to terms with everything that happened.
One thing they all carry is psychological burden trying to cope with the aftermath , for example Jimmy Cross has not been able to forgive himself for Ted Lavender's death as we see him confides in O'Brien. Norman Bowker experiences an intense grief that makes him drive pointlessly in his hometown lake in "speaking of courage " to write to O'Brien explaining how he never felt the same after the war. O'Brien expresses and share his own grief whilst Bowker can't.
