This is an oasis in the middle of the desert (in case you can't tell ^^). I choose the picture of an oasis to represent part 2 of The Alchemist. An oasis in the middle of the desert not only provides water to the desperate travellers but also signifies hope for the future. Desert has always been classified as a waterless land. Even in this lack of water, an oasis can still exist with its abundance of water. This shows that even in harsh times of our life when the future is unclear and the present is full of malicious truth, there still exists a light that lights up the future, a smile that warms your heart, and a joke that makes your day. An oasis in the middle of the desert is like an ear that listens to your deepest thoughts when the world refuses to hear you, a gentle hand on your shoulder that offer to shares your troubles when all the problems in the world is rushing at you, and a house with an open door for you when even the cheapest hotels refuse to welcome you.
In the Alchemist, Santiago and the caravan aim at the oasis for water. In life, we aim at the "oasis of our life" for peace, for support, for help, and for understanding.
