B-The sheep motivate Santiago to take a risk and pursue his Personal Legend.
When Santiago observes the sheep, he reflects on how they go through life doing only what Santiago asks. They trust him to keep them fed and watered, out of danger, and make good decisions on their behalf. They are similar to those people who choose not to follow their ultimate purpose in that they let life pass by only satisfied with the necessities. Not really choosing their own path or purpose.
The sheep also motivate Santiago. After reflecting on their ability to hold him back from his adventure because of his feelings of responsibility to them, he begins to realize that they are really the way he can afford to take his journey.

A few days later, after school has begun for the year, Jem tells Scout that he found the pants mysteriously mended and hung neatly over the fence. When they come home from school that day, they find another present hidden in the knothole: a ball of gray twine. They leave it there for a few days, but no one takes it, so they claim it for their own.
Unsurprisingly, Scout is as unhappy in second grade as she was in first, but Jem promises her that school gets better the farther along one goes. Late that fall, another present appears in the knothole—two figures carved in soap to resemble Scout and Jem. The figures are followed in turn by chewing gum, a spelling bee medal, and an old pocket watch. The next day, Jem and Scout find that the knothole has been filled with cement. When Jem asks Mr. Radley (Nathan Radley, Boo’s brother) about the knothole the following day, Mr. Radley replies that he plugged the knothole because the tree is dying.
