The only thing that concerned Santiago's flock of sheep were food and water. His sheep had completely forgotten how to rely on their own instincts. They are always depending on Santiago because he leads them to nourishment.

Oh, dude, Santiago sees that his sheep lack the ability to see beyond their day-to-day routine, just like some humans who get stuck in their comfort zones and forget to chase their dreams. The sheep are also easily influenced by external factors, kinda like how some people let others dictate their choices instead of following their own paths. Basically, Santiago's sheep are a metaphor for people who settle for mediocrity instead of taking risks to fulfill their Personal Legends.
Santiago notices that his flock of sheep lacks the desire to explore beyond their routine and settle for the comfort of familiarity. This reflects the weakness in humans who may fear stepping out of their comfort zones, pursuing their dreams, and taking risks to achieve their personal legend. Both the flock and humans may miss out on opportunities for growth and self-discovery due to a reluctance to embrace the unknown.
Santiago admires Joe DiMaggio for his skill, perseverance, and ability to overcome great challenges in baseball, just as Santiago sees himself in his own struggle against the marlin in the sea. Santiago finds motivation and strength in DiMaggio's example during his own difficult journey at sea.
Birds travel in flocks for protection. They flock to avoid predators. More eyes watching means it's harder for a cat or a hawk to catch the birds off guard. And they flock to find food. Again, more eyes makes it easier to search. Also, the flock can form around the food. One bird sees the food, a second bird sees the first one eating, and joins in, then a third bird sees the first two, etc.
Sheep are lured and bred with by wheat. By holding wheat you can get sheep to follow you, and by touching and holding the screen where the sheep are standing, you can breed them to make a lamb.
In the short story "The Old Man and the Sea," Santiago is the old man who goes out to sea to fish, and Marlin is the large fish he catches.

At the same time, Santiago is determined to catch the marlin to prove himself as a skilled fisherman.
Jesus is the gaurdian of the sheep Joh 10:1 ¶ "Truly, truly, I say to you, he who does not enter the sheepfold by the door but climbs in by another way, that man is a thief and a robber; 2 but he who enters by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. 3 To him the gatekeeper opens; the sheep hear his voice, and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. 4 When he has brought out all his own, he goes before them, and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice. 5 A stranger they will not follow, but they will flee from him, for they do not know the voice of strangers." 6 This figure Jesus used with them, but they did not understand what he was saying to them. 7 So Jesus again said to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep. 8 All who came before me are thieves and robbers; but the sheep did not heed them. 9 I am the door; if any one enters by me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture. 10 The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly. 11 I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. 12 He who is a hireling and not a shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, sees the wolf coming and leaves the sheep and flees; and the wolf snatches them and scatters them. 13 He flees because he is a hireling and cares nothing for the sheep. 14 I am the good shepherd; I know my own and my own know me, 15 as the Father knows me and I know the Father; and I lay down my life for the sheep. 16 And I have other sheep, that are not of this fold; I must bring them also, and they will heed my voice. So there shall be one flock, one shepherd. 17 For this reason the Father loves me, because I lay down my life, that I may take it again. 18 No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again; this charge I have received from my Father."
Santiago believes his luck will change on the 85th day because he sees it as a significant number symbolizing a new beginning or change. He feels a sense of hope and determination as he nears the end of his struggle to catch the marlin, and believes that his perseverance will ultimately be rewarded.
That is the roosters job. He is the guardian of his flock and he will attack anything he perceives as a threat to his flock. Children are often targets for rooster attacks as they move in what the rooster sees as a threatening manner approaching the hens and often very animated while doing so. Kids tend to run and cry when attacked by a rooster which make the rooster more excited and powerful feeling.
Santiago views alchemy as a deeply personal journey tied to his quest for self-discovery and achieving his Personal Legend. He sees it as a spiritual process that transcends mere material transformation, emphasizing intuition and connection to the world. In contrast, the Englishman approaches alchemy primarily as a scientific discipline, focusing on books, theories, and the pursuit of knowledge for its own sake. This difference highlights Santiago's holistic perspective compared to the Englishman's more rigid and academic approach.
