Santiago's Decision?! Sabriel's Decision?! CONNECTION!!

In "The Alchemist", Santiago decided to tell the chieftains about the omen he observed from the two hawks. He discovered that the oasis was dangerous and he wanted to do something to help with this bad situation. He knew if it wasn't true, it will bring him the death only. In his situation, he was so confusion what to do next.



This scene remained me that "Sabriel" seemed had a similar situation. Sabriel decided to go to the Wyverley College to get more helpers to destroy the Kerrigor's "body". She knew that this decision will bring her classmates danger only. She had no choice and it was her responsibility to save the world. The similarity between these two decision is they both had a chance to cause death after they decided to do it. The difference between them is Santiago's decision might cause his own death but Sabriel's decision might cause her classmates' death, not her own.

At the end of "Sabriel", Sabriel's decision caused some of her classmates and teachers dead. I think it still worth it because it saved the other people.

"You lose something small but you get something big back."

However, I still haven't finished "The Alchemist" yet. I am so excited to know what is going to happen next. ( > v < )
