Journal Oct. 10

I am going to write about the Englishman in the novel. I thought that it was really weird that the book randomly stopped talking about him. Pablo said that he went off to go study and practice alchemy, but the book never mentions him again. This leaves the reader with lots of questions like: is the Englishman okay, will he ever make the philosopher's stone, and will he meet the alchemist again? I think that this was poor writing on Pablo's part, but I was wondering what you guys think about it.
