    Santiago's journey follows the hero's journey model. He initially did not want to become a priest as his father wished, and instead became a shepherd. This led to a call to adventure when he had a dream and wanted to travel. He gave away his sheep and crossed a threshold by leaving Spain. Along the way he faced challenges like crossing the desert. He received help from mentors like the alchemist and king. Santiago was tempted to stay with Fatima instead of finishing his personal legend. By learning alchemy from the alchemist, he transformed on his journey. In the end, Santiago returned home to be with Fatima, having mastered his personal growth.
