The Alchemist is my English class's shared reading book for these several months. It contained a lot of themes, more than what I thought before I started reading it. Although I finished just a little bit, I've already discovered some themes. One of these is "You should seize your chance tightly and never let it go away." In this book, 
Sandiago had a recurring dream, and it directed him to find his treasures. This was a chance for him to travling the world and had a challenge. If he ignored his recurring dream, he might never had a chance again to get such a valuable experiment and treasures. In real life, sometimes if you meet a good chance, but you still think about it skeptically, the chance may go away suddenly when you decide to catch it. So, i think it's important to me that I should never fear to make a decision. I should seize my chance tightly everytime I need to decide something and never regret that I make this decision someday.
Have you ever had a dream? I believe everyone has one, but it depends on would you still remember it after you wake up. In my personal opinion, I think DREAMS are very mysterious and enigmatic. We don't know when we can be dreamt and the exactly reason why we dream. One of my friends said that a dream only happen a few seconds before you wake up, even it is a super long dream. 
Would it become real in the real world? I believe that, but it depends on what I dreamt. If it is a recurring dream, like Santiago in The Alchemist, I think it is about the future, the purpose, or my own life that somebody want to tell me. "Somebody" would be the ancients, the gods, or even it is myself. DREAMS can be a media for some "people" who want to tell me somthing, but they can't show up right in front of me. If it is true, I think that Santiago was wise in his decision to follow a dream that came to him at night. Besides, I think the dream interpretation is true because "nothing is impossible"!! I think sometimes the dream interpretations may be true, but sometimes are not. Anyway, if you really want to solve it, you would believe in everything, even you know it's impossible.Yesterday, I have dreamt a horrible dream. It was about a girl, who was me, but she wasn't "look" like me, like my soul just went inside a wrong body, was running so quickly, like she tried to keep away somthing... I don't really remember it after I wake up. Then, I find somthing interesting about sleep. Sometimes, we can have more than one completely different dreams in a night, because of the sleep cycle. Dreams can happen in any of the four stages of the sleep cycle. However, this is just what I thought about dreams, and you? If your want to share something to me or anyone, please make a common and this will be your free place to share forever !!
My second independent reading book is “Twilight”. I finished it about a month ago and I am working on my second reading journal now. I discovered several things when I was reading it. United States is a “free” country!! In the book, the main chacarter, Bella, was a junior student. She had her own car and most of the characters in this book knew how to drive. They could go out with their friends at night and their parents didn’t limit them so much. They had lots of fun activities at school. Bella went out to the prom with Edward at the end of this book. Both of my parents are Chinese, and some of my friends are in China. They don’t need to drive to school and they don’t even think about driving when they go to college. It’s because they have very good transportations, like buses, trains, and MTR(underground train). In real life, my parents always limit me to go outsides without them, because it is very dangerous! It’s always be their most eloquent and most common reaso
n, and I’ve heard so many time…… Anyway, I know it’s because they care me so I don’t quite care they limit me or not. Some of my friends in China tell me that they have so many fun activities at school, but completely different activities than in the United states. Although this book was just talked about the school life in the United States(a little bit), I compared it with the school life in China. This reminds me that every country , every person has their own personal way to face their life.You don’t have to do the same way to get the same results. In my personal comment, I enjoy the process more than the result itself. So that why I like to travel different countries in the world to see different kind of stuffs. That will be super funif I have this chance!!
