Remember The Name Paulo Coelho Analysis

Dreams are characterized by failure; the fear of failure often helps individuals gain courage. In the process of accomplishing ones dream courage is helpful and in some cases essential. The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho and Remember the Name by Fort Minor portray an individual overcoming challenges and improving himself at every opportunity to achieve an end goal. In The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho the main character Santiago has a dream and stays focused on it in the face of adversity. Similarly, in Remember the Name by Fort Minor the song describes an individual that has the desire to which he works toward and eventually reaches he goal. Disregarding status and reputation, seeking help when needed and overcoming doubt will be three steps that will help

These obsessions result in an individual who is unable to accomplish his or her dream because those people don’t use their time for bettering their skills or minds and more time improving their reputation. In the novel Melchizedek tells Santiago about a baker and tells him “In the long run, what people think about shepherds and bakers becomes more important than their personal legend.”(Pg.23). Similarly, In Remember the Name by Fort Minor the rap group states that “He knows the code it’s not about the salary it’s all about reality, making some noise.” This has the same undertone of disregarding status and reputation.
