The Alchemist

As a wrap up to our reading and discussion of The Alchemist, as well as to meet a portfolio requirement, please reflect on the following:


An allegory is a story, poem, or picture that can be interpreted to reveal a hidden meaning, typically a moral or political one. 


How does The Alchemist fit that description and what hidden meaning might the text revel to its reader? Please back up your reasoning with evidence from the text.  


This should be a minimum of one page in length and contain at least 3 references to the text. Due next class.
