The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho

Significance
The Alchemist tells a story of a sheperd who: met a king, sold crystal, and discovered his personal legend. From humble begginings, Santiago was a simple shepard in Spain.He had sixty sheep and is only for days away from seeing the love of his life again. But a dream takes to egypt to find a treasure. Santiago is tested many times to see if he really wants the treasure.

Perspective
This book Is told from the perspective of Santiago. A traveling shepard who loves to see different places. He is a nobody and has nothing to look foward to other than meeting the woman he loves again.

Evidence
Santiago's devotion to finding the treasure has forced him to be very open and willing to go where the omens take him. Because of theis he has to be constantly watching for the omens in hopes that one will give him some answers.

Connection
In the book Santiago meets a very unlikely friend. The things that they are looking for are different in some ways, but very similar in others. No matter what your quest is, I say look for a friend in anyone and everyone because you never know if they can help you even if it is indirectly.

Supposition
This is an excellent story and Coelho knew exactaly how to tell it. It got my attention in the beggining and kept it right to the end of the epilouge. There are a few problems though like in all great masterpieces. I can't always tell what is going on in the background which I think would be important because it is almost constant travel. Also, there are a few character who apper in the book and go almost as quickly as they came.

M.C. Escher His life and Complete Graphic work.

Significance
This book is a complete biograpphy with pictures as well. I learned alot about Escher from this bookand it was a good read too(if you like biographies). This book was created to tell the tale of a young M.C. Escher and how he worked his way through life.

Perspective
I honestly don't like biographies, but thats just me. It's a great book if you need to do a reaserch paper or a report on one of his pices of art.

Evidence
People who knew Escher might argue that he never did something, But the people who made the book used intervuiws, his fathers diary, and other resources which really makes me think that the book has legitamate information.

Connection
This book explains some of Eschers artworks and his life in great detail. This could help people to understand why he did some of his art or if they knew him, why he did the things he did.

Supposition
I f this book had never been made, I would have had a lot more trouble getting more information for a project, and I wouldn't know as much about Escher's amazing life than I do now.

Harry Potter and the Order of the Pheonix

Significance
It has no point to it. The only reason this book was created was for the enjoyment of the reader and almost nothing else.

Perspective
This is a work of art with letters and paper. It has almost everything in it, comedy, mystery, and action. the magic of Harry potter has extended through the fifth year at Hogwarts

Evidence
It is a fictional story. There are no arguments to be made over anything said in this book

Connection
It doesn't really effect anything we do except that we might read it, talk about it, and read the next one.

Supposition
If Harry Potter had never been made I would have been bored a lot more times.

That's all folks
