         <description><![CDATA[<div>The terms I chose were future, happiness, and success. I chose these 3 because they seem to connect Santiago and the picture most.&nbsp; In the image there are 2 paths. Each which could lead him down a path of happiness and success. The difference is each will lead him through a different journey and end with different future outcomes. One path will lead him down a path of secureness and comfort in knowing the outcome of his life. He will never really know what his personal legend was and may come to regret it later on in his life. While the other path will lead him down a path of risks and adventure to find out his meaning in life; his personal legend.&nbsp;</div><div><br></div>]]></description>

There will always be consequences for your actions, you just need to figure out the right path to choose for your future. The picture reflects how there are 2 different paths. One can lead to happiness and success, and to his personal legend, and the other will lead to different results and failure.&nbsp;<br><br>Molly, Sarah, Amanda</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>the terms i connected to Santiago are future and happiness. I chose future because in Santiago's future he is hoping to find his personal legend aka his treasure. The reason i chose happiness is because right now in the story Santiago is happy with his job with the Crystal Merchant and is more successful than he was at the start of the book. later in the book i know that Santiago will fulfill his dreams of finding the treasure and merchant girl.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>I believe the way these 2 images correlate is how much turmoil a single decision process put Santiago under. it's been a very decisive choice for him to deduct, of course none of the paths he's settled were wrong however if he chose the path he wasn't satisfied with he'd have to live with the regret of not choosing the better option when he had the choice, and he can never go back on it.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>I think it means that there are 2 paths for your personal legend, and that you need to figure out which path is right for you. One path can have success, while the other path could be negative. For example, Santiago had the choice of becoming a priest or a traveler, but he decided to become a traveler.<br>-Jason R. and John T.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>I connected the terms fullest, future, and happiness. Santiago is trying to live life to the (fullest) by doing what he wants to do and travel instead of doing what his parents want him to do and be a priest. I connected (happiness) because travelling and being a Shepard are what make him happy. I connected (future) because the whole premise of the book is personal legend and your personal legend is what determines your future.  </div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>The terms I chose were success, happiness, and future because they all connect to paths that could either push him towards his success or happiness. They both will be challenging either when he gets the outcome or when he's taking part in that path. The path to success will take him through a tough and adventurous time, but the path to happiness will make him feel happy and safe the downside is he'll never really figure out what his personal legend was or what he wanted in life. The paths make the outcome for his future, and the path he decided to take was success. By continuing his travel to a whole new country where he doesn't even know the language or culture, he still decided to keep going.&nbsp;<br>- Hana P, Jayden S</div>]]></description>

         <title>One term that I connected to this picture are Family because Santiago had to choose between being a Priest which is what his family wants and being a Traveler which is what he wants to be. A second term that I connected to the picture is Future because Santiago has to choose between following and not following his personal legend. Both choices will affect his future. The third term I chose was Success because Santiago could either be successful or not successful, which all depends on what path he chooses. Period 7. Frankie Voce. Joshua Hong.Michael Jones.</title>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>The two images show there is a dark and light path and anyone's choices can affect their path and what his future can tell. Not all events you take along the hard way sometimes they will push you down and demotivate you. I think that Santiago will go down the hard path and maybe some will be easy to face those struggles. But his path won't lead to his main goal. He will probably reach other goals he might have but he won't make it to his own goal it will just lead to another path in which he will have to make another decision again. It's all about the path and journey you take in life that will either lead you to success or failure.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>I think that the image best suits to future, looking between two paths to see where they lead. One seems more difficult and one seems to lead to brighter skies, but you can't see the true end of either. I think this can connect to Santiago, especially where we are in the book how; Santiago chose the harder path instead of staying with his sheep in the lighter path, leading to the bushes further into the path. We cant see where the bushes will lead, but we couldn't see where the brighter path would lead. I think this is much like how Santiago can't see where his hardships or the possibility of avoiding them will have led.&nbsp;</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>These two pictures can show that success doesn't come easy, the more darker and rougher path can be successful path and if a path lets people walk can be successful. Sometimes to get happiness its not always going to be nice and to get happiness right you have to go through the darker, rougher path. Sometimes you are uncertain what your future is going to lead to and the past is like the future. Your going to have to play guessing game to find the right way to your success. </div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>one thing i can connect to this image is Santiago's future because he has a choice to pick the hard but meaningful route or the easier route with less meaning. The second word i can make a connection to is success because he had routes for many different things like being a priest and having a easy life but still chose the route that leads him to being his current self. The third thing i can make a connection to is love and his families acceptance of how it could have gone down a bad road but his family chose to go down the good road.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>The terms that connect most to Santiago and the image are happiness, success, and the future. These terms connect most to Santiago because right now he is trying to find the happiness in life that he needs and as time is progressing, he is getting closer and closer to the destination that the old man told him about. For Santiago to have a sense of happiness and success, he needs to find his personal legend and live life according to it. These words connect to the image because it describes the two paths in life that he has. One of them will have happiness and enjoyment, whereas the other one will have many obstacles that he will face as well as the sadness and sorrow that comes with it. These are the two paths that can predict his future and where it will take him through his life. </div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>The picture shows two paths for Santiago to follow. One path will have him follow his personal legend to find success and make it to Egypt to find the treasure. Another path might lead to another outcome that might not be successful but Santiago has the choice if he wants to pursue finding his personal legend or give up on it.  </div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>The term that connects to the picture would be a success, happiness, and the fullest. The darker side is to be successful because Santiago would probably want to find the treasure to live well. but there will be hardships to be successful but in the end, it will all be worth it. The lighter side is happiness just do things that make you happy. Like he wants to travel because he wants to find and experience new places It's the easiest path to take and to live your life to the fullest and have no regrets.&nbsp;</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>The image is a reference to the decisions that Santiago must make on his personal legend. The picture shows a fork in the road, which often leads people to making a decision. The path Santiago chooses can either lead him to success and happiness or will make him want to give up on his dream. Just like the image, Santiago has to choose which path to take.&nbsp;</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>This picture represents Santiago's journey down both roads of his personal legend. The Dark path shows his journey back home and giving up on his real personal legend and not completing it and going back to find the merchant girl and marry her. The Light path represents his journey to successes to find the treasure in pyramids to find the gold and completing his personal legend . </div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>The image makes me think it's a reference to the decisions that Santiago will have to make to find his personal legend.  the image depicts two paths, one of light representing happiness, love, and success.  The other paths depict a future of the unknown and how it's up to Santiago to decide which path he will take.  It also seems like Santiago is realizing all his family wants is for him to live his life to the fullest, and to find his Personal Legend.  These terms connect to Santiago because they represent what he wants to happen, even if he doesn't know it yet.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>This image represents how Santiago has had to make some tough decisions on his journey to finding the treasure. He has had to choose between things like finding love, and staying with his family. The decisions he makes on his journey, heavily impact his future, happiness, and success. If he makes the right decision, he will return home with the love of his life and live the rest of his days to the fullest. Just like how the image shows 2 paths, Santiago also has 2 paths to take on his journey. One is right and risky, but will make him happy, and the other is safe, but will leave him regretting not taking the risk for the rest of his life.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Depending on which path you choose (left or right), it can alter your success, happiness, future, love, and much more. When choosing a path, it's important to make good choices and evaluate before you go down said path. Santiago already did this in the story. The left is dark and can be assumed to be the hard way, while the right path is lit up and assumed to be the easy way. Choosing the easy way seems like the most obvious choice, to begin with, but it may lead to a much more uneventful and unfavorable outcome. Your future, success, and happiness may not turn out to be the best. Are you truly living your life to the fullest by doing everything the easy way? If you were to choose the hard way, you would be experiencing hardships, it would be a challenge to get your end goal. But the experiences you face along the way are what makes for an amazing experience and even if the end is unexciting, the journey you took along the way was rich with events. Santiago has already stumbled into the hard path. When his money got stolen from him, he felt like giving up, but he still pushed forward and carried on. Not all events you take along the hard way are going to be positive, sometimes they will push you down and demotivate you. But they are a part of the rich experience on that path. I believe that Santiago will go down the hard path and face those struggles. The path's end will not lead to his main goal, it will just lead to another fork in the path in which he will have to make another decision again. These forks in the road and hardships are all just a part of his journey, nothing more, nothing less.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>This image represents how Santiago has to make a choice through his journey. One path leads to good, and the other leads to evil. Santiago needs to decide if he wants to quit his journey, and become a priest like his parents wanted him to, or follow his dreams and go wherever his heart desires. He has to choose if he wants to find this girl that he <strong>loves</strong>, or stay with his <strong>family</strong> in his hometown. This decision he has now, will impact his <strong>future,</strong> and change his whole life. He needs to live his life to the <strong>fullest</strong> and be <strong>happy.</strong><br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>This image relates to Santiago because it shows two different paths on a split in the trail. Santiago now has a choice on which path he will take. He could try to keep going for the treasure or to go back home. Also one path is brighter than the other showing that one choice could be more clear than the other one.    </div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Those words relate to Santiago in many ways. His family supported his choice in becoming a shepherd, and he left to find the Merchant Girl because he fell in love with her. The Gypsy woman tells him his future of finding the treasure and being successful. Along the way, Santiago meets a king who tells him to also live his life to the fullest and not miss too much focusing on the treasure. The picture represents Santiago's choices. He could either go back home and be a shepherd again which is what he's used to. Or he could continue his adventure and go further into a world he's never been in.</div>]]></description>

He has the option to go with his families choice for him and have a destine future for himself and he already has a career made for him and he would've been extremely successful. But he chose the other. Santiago chose the other path of love for this girl he's never met, and the fullest heart he's ever had in his life and he is on his way to happiness. </div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Three terms that I think connect to Santiago the most are future happiness and success. I chose these terms because I believe that they connect to the picture and Santiago the most. For Santiago to be successful and have happiness, he decides to travel to Tarifa to find the merchant girl. He also meets a gypsy who tells him that there is a hidden treasure. Then the old man tells him that the treasure is near the great pyramids in Egypt. I think the term future connects to this because he makes the decision to try to find the treasure which could affect his future because if he finds the treasure he could become rich and provide a better life for his family. In the picture, there are two paths. One of the paths can lead to happiness, success, and a great future, or the other path will lead to failure, unhappiness, and a terrible future. </div>]]></description>
