Explanation:  1. The crystal merchant is an example of someone who was aware of his own Personal Legend, dreaming that once in his life he would go on a holy trip - a pilgrimage to Mecca. However, he is an example of how day-to-day commitments and worries about jobs can constantly delay the fulfillment of his dream, and eventually give up.

2. The crystals merchant lived his daily life, letting his life happen and continually suppressing his dreams. Even when a boy introduced changes in his crystal store, the merchant unwillingly agreed to these changes. It says that the merchant unwillingly accepted everything that reminded him of his unfinished dreams. He, of course, followed the path of his ancestors, but according to the tradition and the path of the ancestors, anyone who is well-suited should one in his life go to Mecca. The merchant was certainly well-off, but he allowed to his life with its obligations, to turn him back from his dream.

3. The boy understood the meaning of the word "maktub" when he realized that there is a soul of the world, in which the whole history of the world is written and located and that everything is connected, all the reasons and consequences of our actions. If we dive into the soul of the world, we will be able to know the history of all people and events. Also, he realized that it was written - "maktub", when he met Fatima, that for everyone is written in the soul of the world, there is someone who is waiting for us.

4. Examples of magical realism in the story are given as events that really happened to Santiago, but they have magic meaning, that is, magic things happen in real life. These are the events that the boy is dreaming again of the buried treasure next to the pyramid, then the old king who gives him stones of destiny, and the dream of the hawks that foresaw the attack by the warrior tribes on the oasis.

5. The Englishman was a very learned man, he knew a lot about the alchemist laws and the secrets of the soul of the world.  He tried to explain to a boy his vision of things in a way that was not inherent to a boy. The boy had a different approach to the same problem, which is quite normal to different persons, who nevertheless converged with the same essence, but by different methods.  The English looked at him with a lack of respect, because he thought that since he knew a lot, that's the only way, not realizing that pride prevents him from seeing that others have their own way to the same essence. Therefore, he considered the boy to be ignorant, and this insensitive attitude prevented him from transforming lead into gold. Only those who realize that the soul of the world accepts people who do not have pride but those who are cognitive and have understanding for others.

learning how to embrace the effects of colonialism is one of the central ideas of the play.

perhaps, jefferson is the best spokesman that speak about american ideals of equality and liberty.

no one should be immune to the law because if there is an existence of someone that is above the law, a true equality would never be achieved

hope this
