THE ALCHEMIST

WITCHER [35]3 years ago

    Santiago’s life mainly revolves around finding out what his personal legend is, and the murchant’s life just involves him working everyday in his crystal shop so he would have enough money to survive. The merchants rationale behind keeping Santiago is that he believes once a person accomplishes their dreams they will go without a purpose for the rest of life. As he stated on pg.55 "I'm afraid if my dream is realized, I'll have no reason to go on living". However I find flaw in that arguement because the reason for setting dreams in your life is to make it reality. Besides if the merchant ever does decide to go to Mecca he'll realize you can always find a new purpose out of a new reality.  

Isn't that good and is kinda of late, but I tried ;)

I mostly agree with Santiago's attitude. Santiago dreams, but the reason he dreams is in order to accomplish his dreams. This motivates him to work hard. Moreover, each step he takes that brings him closer to the dream gives him a feeling of accomplishment and satisfaction, and teaches him something new. Therefore, Santiago has many small joys before even getting close to his dream. On the other hand, the merchant believes it is better to not accomplish your dreams because if you do, you lose the purpose of your life. However, by having this attitude, the merchant has no motivation to change anything in his life. Moreover, he does not realize that dreams change all the time, and that by the time you reach one, you will most likely already have another one that will continue to make your life rich and interesting.

Why were people of color casted for Hamilton and what was the impact?​
Ksju [112]

Answer: “Hamilton”

With “Hamilton” available on Disney+ this weekend, the biggest sensation in Broadway history finally found a mass audience. For five years, Lin-Manuel Miranda’s Pulitzer-winning refashioning of the Founding Fathers was the rare cultural event that only a select few could witness. Now, anyone can can see the original cast of mostly Black and brown faces assuming the roles of historic white figures, a decision that adds depth and provocation to every moment.

The diversity presented a unique challenge: While the Puerto Rican Miranda always intended to play the lead, he and director Thomas Kail never specified ethnicities for any of the roles. Character breakdowns included a wide range of cultural references: Hamilton was “Eminem meets Sweeney Todd,” his wife Eliza was “Alicia Keys meets Elphaba,” peer-turned-killer Aaron Burr was “Javert meets Mos Def,” and George Washington was “John Legend meets Mufasa.” By the end of the original casting process, all of those roles went to people of color.
