Refelcting on The Alchemist

Some things that I see going on in this book would be that the boy I don't think is very smart because he says that he would never give up his sheep and then the next day he does, so that he can go on search for some treasure that might not even exist. Also I see that the boy is choosing to go in search for the treasure instead of going back to being a sheperd. the boy decides to follow all the good omens and to not ignore them because he finds them important.
