1. How is Santiago different from the Merchant? What lessons does he learn from the Merchant and as his employee? 2. The Englishman represents the type of character who has book knowledge, but not practical knowledge. He focuses on learning alchemy through the intellect. The Englishman’s personality contrasts with Santiago's character: Santiago focuses on intuition, chance and observation (what he calls Universal Language). Based on the conversation between Santiago and the Englishman on page 79, does it appear that the two have anything to learn from each other?
