"Sumptuous"?  Really?

Obstacles
You missed the point of "realization" - it's not a thought-thing.  It's an achievement thing.

Characters
Good
Explanation definitely convinced me of the Alchemist song.

Themes
Again, your paragraph convinced me.

Good work.

This song is all about the theme of Fate and it connects heavily with the theme of fate in the alchemist. This song helps us understand the theme of fate by listening to how Major Tom has reached his personal legend of going to space and shortly after reached his fate of being permanently trapped in his space shuttle. This helps us see a brief story of a personal legend and its fate and ultimately helps us realize the significance and ultimateness of realizing your fate.
Song Quote - "Here am I floating 'round my tin can
Far above the moon
Planet Earth is blue
And there's nothing I can do"
Book Quote(Page 168) - "The boy stood up shakily , and I looked once more at the pyramids. They seemed to laugh at him, and he laughed back, his heart bursting with joy. Because now he knew where his treasure was."

I chose this song for the alchemist, because I feel like it really helps us understand how the alchemist was completely devoted to the idea of personal legends and acted as a guide to direct Santiago to his treasure. This song gives us the idea of finding something new and pursuing that idea that you have found something that is unique to you, and once you pursue this others will follow, and make their their own unique path as well.

Song Quote: "I see the dawn of a new beginning
This time, this time we can't go home"
Book Quote(Page 124): " You must understand that love never keeps a man from pursuing his personal legend. If he abandons that pursuit its because it wasn't true love. "

I Chose this song because I feel it expresses realization in a very clear and loving way. Now, I know that it doesn't completely compare to the realizations in a personal legend, but it still helps us understand that the fourth step is about realization of where you are and how everything around you is. This song helps us understand the real meaning and completeness of having realization that you have almost reached your dream. It helps us overcome the concept of  realization.
Song Quote - "I see trees of green,
red roses too.
I see them bloom,
for me and you."
Book Quote(Page 157) - " And he saw that the Soul of God was his own soul. And that he, a boy, could perform miracles."

Mountain at My Gates - Foals
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l_EIE5f2t6M

I see a mountain at my gates
I see it more and more each day
What i give it takes away
Whether i go or when i stay

I see a mountain at my gates
I see it more and more each day
I see a fire out by the lake
I'll drive my car without the breaks

I see a mountain in my way
It's looming larger by the day
I see a darkness in my fate
I'll drive my car without the breaks

Oh gimme some time
Show me the foothold from which i can climb
Yeah when i feel low
You show me a signpost for where i should go

I see a mountain at my gates
I see it more and more each day
And my desire wears a dark dress
But each day i see you less

Oh gimme some time
Show me the foothold from which i can climb
Yeah when i feel low
You show me a signpost for where i should go

Through lanes and stone rows, black granite, wind blows
Fire lake and far flame go now but come again
Dark clouds gather round will I run or stand my ground?

Oh, when I come to climb
Show me the mountain so far behind
Yeah, it's farther away
Its shadow gets smaller day after day

Yeah, gimme my way
Gimme my love
Gimme my choice
You keep me coming around

Gimme my fate
Gimme my lungs
Gimme my voice
You keep me coming around

For a second there I thought you disappeared
It rains a lot this time of year
And we both go together if one falls down
I talk out loud like you're still around, no no

And I miss you
(Ooh)

I wish you woulda put yourself in my suitcase

I love you
Standin' all alone in a black coat
I miss you
I'm goin' back home to the west coast

And if you shake her heart enough she will appear
Tonight I think I'll be stayin' here
And you never did like this town
I talk out loud like you're still around, no no

And I miss you
(Ooh)
I'm goin' back home to the west coast
I wish you woulda put yourself in my suitcase

I love you
Standin' all alone in a black coat
I miss you
I'm goin' back home to the west coast
Come on everybody

Lalalala, lalalala
Lalalala, lalalala

So pack up the bags to beat back the clock

You said, we both go together if one falls down
Yeah right, heh
I talk out loud like you're still around, no no

And I miss you

Something New - Axwell ^ Ingrosso
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QwaVVsvLlc4

I see the dawn of a new beginning
This time, this time we can't go home
I hear the streets of tomorrow calling
I go I go where you go
Cause we belong to something
We belong to something new

In the mist of the midnight hour
You said to me
We are, we are a different kind
O like we've been kissed by higher power
Saying don't wait don't wait until it's gone
Cause we belong to something
We belong to something
We belong to something new

We belong to something new

We are the ones that will be remembered
Singing
This time, this time we can't go home
Ooh like we've been kissed by higher power
Saying don't wait, don't wait until it's gone
I tell you if you need to know
Here is where my heart belongs
Silver threads among the gold
Kisses over babylon
This is more than a heart can bare
Mercy on me
We belong to something
We belong to something
We belong to something new

We belong to something new

We belong to something new

We belong to something new

We belong to something new

Ground Control to Major Tom
Ground Control to Major Tom
Take your protein pills and put your helmet on
Ground Control to Major Tom (ten, nine, eight, seven, six)
Commencing countdown, engines on (five, four, three)
Check ignition and may God's love be with you (two, one, liftoff)

This is Ground Control to Major Tom
You've really made the grade
And the papers want to know whose shirts you wear
Now it's time to leave the capsule if you dare
"This is Major Tom to Ground Control
I'm stepping through the door
And I'm floating in a most peculiar way
And the stars look very different today
For here
Am I sitting in a tin can
Far above the world
Planet Earth is blue
And there's nothing I can do

Though I'm past one hundred thousand miles
I'm feeling very still
And I think my spaceship knows which way to go
Tell my wife I love her very much she knows
Ground Control to Major Tom
Your circuit's dead, there's something wrong
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you "Here am I floating 'round my tin can
Far above the moon
Planet Earth is blue
And there's nothing I can do"

In Your Arms  - Black Star Elephant
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1UX9Q5ApVqs

I feel like Superman
They gonna remember me
I think I know I can
Who says it's hard to reach
Who's gonna stop me on the road to success
I don't know

They tried to break me down
But I'm still on my feet
This city's full of life
So why is it hard to breathe
Oh why did God create this world so unfair
I don't know

Sometimes I feel like I can't run, I can't crawl
And sometimes I feel like I ain't nothing at all
Life is a journey where you stumble and fall
But I'm okay

When I lie down in your arms
Oh oh oh oh oh [x3]
When I lie down in your arms
Oh oh oh oh oh [x3]
When I lie down in your arms

I feel like moving back
Sometimes it's hard to dream
The life I chose is past
It's moving without me
Who doesn't want a machine so they can go back in time
I don't know

My time went by too fast
There's no one left but me
I've got a nine to five
And it gets the best of me
This is the life I'm gonna live to the end
But I'm okay

When I lie down in your arms
Oh oh oh oh oh [x3]
When I lie down in your arms
Oh oh oh oh oh [x3]
When I lie down in your arms

Sometimes I feel like I can't run, I can't crawl
And sometimes I feel like I ain't nothing at all
Life is a journey where you stumble and fall
But I'm okay

When I lie down in your arms
Oh oh oh oh oh [x3]
When I lie down in your arms
Oh oh oh oh oh [x3]
When I lie down in your arms
Oh oh oh oh oh [x3]
When I lie down in your arms
Oh oh oh oh oh [x3]
When I lie down in your arms

What a Wonderful World  - Louis Armstrong

No Music Video

I see trees of green,
red roses too.
I see them bloom,
for me and you.
And I think to myself,
what a wonderful world.

I see skies of blue,
And clouds of white.
The bright blessed day,
The dark sacred night.
And I think to myself,
What a wonderful world.

The colors of the rainbow,
So pretty in the sky.
Are also on the faces,
Of people going by,
I see friends shaking hands.
Saying, "How do you do?"
They're really saying,
"I love you".

I hear babies cry,
I watch them grow,
They'll learn much more,
Than I'll ever know.
And I think to myself,
What a wonderful world.

Yes, I think to myself,
What a wonderful world.

Oh yeah.

Oh, father tell me, do we get what we deserve?
Oh, we get what we deserve

And way down we go
Oh, way down we go
Say, way down we go
Way down we go

Whoa, you let your feet run wild
Time has come as we all go down
Yeah but for the fall—oh, my—
Do you dare to look him right in the eyes?

'Cause they will run you down, down 'til the dark
Yes, and they will run you down, down 'til you fall
And they will run you down, down to your core
Yeah, 'til you can't crawl no more

And way down we go
Way down we go
Say, way down we go

'Cause they will run you down, down 'til you're caught
Way down we go

Whoa, baby, yeah
Whoa, baby
Baby
Way down we go
Yeah

And way down we go
Way down we go
Say, way down we go

Marvin Gay  - Ain't No Mountain High Enough

No Music Video

Listen baby, ain't no mountain high,
Ain't no valley low, ain't no river wide enough baby
If you need me call me no matter where you are
No matter how far; don't worry baby
Just call my name; I'll be there in a hurry
You don't have to worry

Oh baby there ain't no mountain high enough
Ain't no valley low enough
Ain't no river wide enough
To keep me from getting to you babe

Remember the day I set you free
I told you you could always count on me darling
From that day on, I made a vow
I'll be there when you want me
Some way, some how

Oh baby there ain't no mountain high enough
Ain't no valley low enough
Ain't no river wide enough
To keep me from getting to you babe

Oh no darling
No wind, no rain
Or winters cold can stop me baby, na na baby
'Cause you are my goal
If you're ever in trouble
I'll be there on the double
Just send for me, oh baby, ha

My love is alive
Way down in my heart
Although we are miles apart
If you ever need a helping hand
I'll be there on the double
Just as fast as I can
Don't you know that there

Ain't no mountain high enough
Ain't no valley low enough
Ain't no river wide enough
To keep me from getting to you babe

Don'tcha know that there
Ain't no mountain high enough
Ain't no valley low enough
Ain't no river wide enough
Ain't mountain high enough
Ain't no valley low enough

Waiting On the World to Change - John Mayer
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oBIxScJ5rlY

One, two, one, two, three

Me and all my friends
We're all misunderstood
They say we stand for nothing and
There's no way we ever could
Now we see everything that's going wrong
With the world and those who lead it
We just feel like we don't have the means
To rise above and beat it

So we keep waiting (waiting)
Waiting on the world to change
We keep on waiting (waiting)
Waiting on the world to change

It's hard to beat the system
When we're standing at a distance
So we keep waiting (waiting)
Waiting on the world to change

Now if we had the power
To bring our neighbors home from war
They would have never missed a Christmas
No more ribbons on their door
And when you trust your television
What you get is what you got
Cause when they own the information, oh
They can bend it all they want

That's why we're waiting (waiting)
Waiting on the world to change
We keep on waiting (waiting)
Waiting on the world to change

It's not that we don't care
We just know that the fight ain't fair
So we keep on waiting (waiting)
Waiting on the world to change

And we're still waiting (waiting)
Waiting on the world to change
We keep on waiting (waiting)
Waiting on the world to change

One day our generation
Is gonna rule the population
So we keep on waiting (waiting)
Waiting on the world to change
No we keep on waiting (waiting)
Waiting on the world to change
We keep on waiting (waiting)
Waiting on the world to change
Waiting on the world to change
Waiting on the world to change
Waiting on the world to change.
