Right there, in the novel. This is an odd question... Are you asking what page does Santiago suddenly have a lightning strike realization of what he cares about most in life? If so, this must be a part of your education and I would suggest you read the book. More the reader comes to understand the answer to this question as it is observational from Santiago's behavior. Through the crafting of the story the reader becomes that "detached observer" and drawing conclusions based on what is presented and the reader's own life. This is art, the perspective of the reader brings more than the artist (author) could have ever included.
