The King is an example of a teacher from The Alchemist as he informs him about omens and the importance of observing his surroundings to use to his advantage.
Maktub means it is written in English. Maktub's importance in The Alchemist is to show that his destiny is written and things will happen for a reason.

I thought he was going to be more the camel driver. I imagined him to be more magical in a way and more mysterious. I imagined him to have more lavish products when he went to his tent but all he had were books and other products of literature.

The lake is sad because it liked looking at it's own reflection. Opposed to the stereotypical aroma that a narcissistic persona gives off, this story appears to make it seem like an entirely natural characteristic.

For example, the King gives Santiago the story of the oil, the spoon, and the house. He doesn't tell Santiago exactly what he means by the story but Santiago knows what he means. "The shepherd said nothing. He had hunderstood the story the old king had told him. A shepherd may like to travel, but he should never forget about his sheep." (32).

Characters - Old King, Woman at Tarifa, Crystal Merchant, Fatima, The Alchemist
Places - Spain, broken down church, Desert, Pyramids
Events - Being a shepherd, Turning himself into wind
Objects - Stones(Urim and Thummim), Treasure
All these factors played an important role i Santiago's journey in a direct or indirect way. But I think the main inspiration for Santiago are the old King and Fatima
