O Brother, Where Art Thou? and The Alchemist

I think the movie O Brother, Where Art Thou, and The Alchemist is connected because it is sort of like travleing most of the time. Some similarities from Everett and Santiago is they actually travle and meet up with or found a girl along the way. I difference from Santiago and Everett is Santiago has thought about not finishing his journey and Everett just went along with his journey and never really thought about going back. Some more similarities are when they are traveling they do think about a certain person (the ladies) and they wouldn't stop thinking about them. They also knew that they were waiting for them and that they didn't have to worry that they are going to move on. That is what i think they have some similarities.
