FOR CLASS: using Coelho's 10 Rules for Success, you found evidence in The Alchemist to support these rules expressed in interviews by the author.
In your small groups, you will do the following:
1. Starting with Coelho's first rule, discuss the meaning of this rule and what you think Coelho means by this rule.
2. Discuss how this rule is represented within The Alchemist. Make sure that you add to your own notes evidence that your group members present.
3. Following the first rule, your group may select the rules that follow that you all feel resonate the most in The Alchemist.
Literature: A product of humanity written to explain what it is like to be human.
AUTHOR PURPOSE:
The three reasons that authors write are usually condensed into P.I.E: Persuade. Inform. Entertain.
From your work today, you started examining the author's purpose for writing his text. Pulling from Coelho's interviews, we saw some insight into his philosophies on life.
FOR MONDAY:
You are to select ONE of the general author's purposes for writing. Persuade. Inform. Entertain. (Yes, a book can do all three, but we are going to be settling on one driven purpose)
Using your group discussion... aphorisms... general notes... you are going to gather as much evidence to prove that your selected purpose is the ONE driving factor for Coelho's writing of The Alchemist.
This list of evidence will go in your notes.
