The Alchemist is similar to The Lord of the Flies in theme as it too shows a side of human nature although very different than that shown in The Lord of the Flies. It shows this naturally curious side of human nature that is constantly thirsting for more knowledge and to see new sights not for any particular reason just because you feel that you must do it. Throughout this whole book it had me questioning my vision of my personal wishes and dreams and how I look at them, and to me that feeling of uncertainty is what the author really was trying to push for us to question that which we already know and to embrace these ideas that previously we had never even thought to consider.

This book's theme is in a way human nature in that it presents this picture of a piece of human nature often untouched and unseen by the majority of people. It shows this savage brutal concept of reality that we never see because we are rarely put into those kind of scenarios. This largely ties in with the author's message as I believe that the author's goal was to present this idea that this savage and primitive side of us is still there and it always has been its just hidden behind other layers of human conscious and its only under extreme pressure that it comes back out again.

The author uses little dialogue in his story and expresses conflict and emotion largely through thought and omens to express the feelings of the characters and changes in tone. He also uses motifs such as a sense of familiarity amidst foreign peoples and lands alluding to the times of the past and of the future. The Alchemist is very different from most other books in terms of literary structure in that instead of using the standard system of chapters the book is divided into two parts as the book called it and used changes in setting as transitions rather than changes in tone or pivotal dialogue

The author uses intense dialogue to express the conflict between Ralph and Jack as well as the connection between Samneric. It uses suspenseful tones for when danger or excitement is nearing and  uses motifs like Jack and Ralph's disputes and Piggy's breakthrough as well as when he is being bullied. The book is constructed in your standard form with chapters and paragraphs like most books but instead of using standard transitions the author uses changes in tone to indicate a change in the story.
