Literature Analysis

Far too long overdue, I know.

The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho

I Am Human, Really (?)

   It has come to my attention that I have been rejected under the pretense that I am not fully human. I would like to point out that this is false; I am in fact completely and 100% human. I have a human father and human mother who carried me inside her stomach for 9 months, or 8 (I came a bit early due to the fact that my mother was trying to move a couch by herself). You may take DNA samples, body scans, use metal/ technology detectors. But you will find no evidence that points to my being a partial robot. As someone who has a slight fear of robots herself (and the minute paranoia that they will find a way to take over the earth), I would not be part robot and apply for this scholarship. If I was, I would just be afraid of myself and defying the purpose of writing this essay.
