How does a dream deferred realte to the alchemist?

"A Dream Deferred" by Langston Hughes and "The Alchemist" by Paulo Coelho both explore the idea of pursuing one's dreams and the consequences of not doing so. In "A Dream Deferred," Hughes questions what happens when dreams are postponed or ignored, while "The Alchemist" emphasizes the importance of listening to one's heart and following one's personal legend. Both works underscore the transformative power of pursuing one's dreams and the need to take action in order to achieve them.
