The Old Man and the Sea
The old man and the sea which was written by Ernest Hemingway, won the Nobel Prize for Literature and the Pulitzer Prize.The old man Santiago from The Old Man and the Sea is a character as a hero, an ordinary fisherman, an unlucky old man, and a wise man.And he is made out as a person of motivation, passion, and hope.The novel tells us a story:an old man named Santiago in Cuba who was a fisherman.He had been fishing hard in the Gulf Stream for 84 days but got nothing.In the previous days a boy named Manolin was fallowing him as a company, but the kind boy was force to leave the old man by his parents who thought that the old man was unlucky.Santiago went fishing alone in the eighty-fifth day and got a big fish which fully has 18 foot length in the measure.However, on the way back a shark came and ate the marlin.Lastly, the marlin left only a skeleton.Santiago is a man with little direction but enough determination and experience to live.He chose not to see what others thought but instead lived by how he perceived the world.he overcame the marlin with his constant struggles and his persistent and he show his earnest desires to live and fish.Throughout the story many aspects can be found about Santiago personality merely by the content of his 3-day fight with the marlin.Certainly Santiago is a man of many themes and personality traits.Santiago is respected by a young boy, Manolin, yet he is also looked down upon by many of the younger fishermen in the Cuban fishing village where he lives.Some laugh at him when he passed by, and some thought of him to be too old to be a fisherman.They didn’t believe he was able to catch a fish.But he was much better and more exact than most of the other fisherman in the village.The elderly are lonely, he was approached in an ideal trip.And he is not lonely, because his willing is so strong.“I fight you to death” , a tough voice.Although he knew it was very difficult to beat the big marlin, but he still did not give up.It shows his heroism and the strength of his tenacious trend.I extremely admire the fisherman's willing, he let me understand one person certainly must have relentless spirit, only then could obtain successfully.“The senior fisherman think: Here to the seacoast really was too near, perhaps could have a bigger fish in a farther place...”.He had not settled to the present situation, but was approaching the bigger goal.When I read “ the big marlin start fast to gather round the young fishing boat hover, twined the cable on the mast, the old person right hand lifted up high the steel fork, leapt the water surface in it the flash, did utmost throws to its heart, one wail ended the big fish's life, it was static floats on the water surface...”, I admire Santiago because of his spirit.Although he knew the difficulty is very strong, but he did not slightly flinch.The most well-known sentence of this novel and also the topic of it is that: “man is not made for defeat.A man can be destroyed but not defeated.” These words become belief of many readers.In my opinion, the whole story is about a battle
between an old man and the sea, both of which are considered to have symbolic meanings according to critics.The old man once was so energetic and strong but couldn’t get harvest from the sea.He used his old body and strong mind to fight against nature and challenge his fate.He got the large fish, but he lost totally because he carried back only the skeleton of the fish with his hands bleeding.On the other hand, he had done all he could to fight against all unlucky things and didn’t lose his face.He behaved like a real man, a tough man.That’s what’s most important in a battle.I think we can study senior fisherman's spirit in life and learn to be tough like him when facing with hard times in our life, which is the best solution we should choose in a bad situation.Sharks may be seen as a hit that made the success and happiness loss.But, as the child said: “It does not beat you, it does not.” We need not fear the difficulty and we should handle the matter, then we can obtain a bigger success and the victory.When we meet difficulty, we must welcome difficulty.

Reading Report of The Old Man and the Sea
The Old Man and the Sea was written by an American writer named Ernest Hemingway.It has been translated into tens of languages, and the writer was so proud of his work.Santiago, the hero of the story, had gone eighty-four days without taking a fish back.At first, a boy named Manolion had been with him, but Santiago couldn’t catch even one fish.The boy had gone at his parents’ orders in a lucky boat which caught three good fish the first week, and the couple thought that it was definitely and finally bad to let their boy stay with the old fisherman.On Santiago’s eighty-fifth day of fishing, he went out alone, leaving the smell of the land behind and rowing out into the clean early morning smell of ocean.To his surprise, he caught a tuna which he had never seen before and it was hard to believe that the tuna was bigger than his boat.Later, the blood from the tuna left a trail for all sharks as wide as a highway, so fighting against sharks was unavoidable.The result was that sharks ate up all the meat of the tuna and Santiago only brought the tuna skeleton back.He was so tired that he slept deeply as soon as he got home, dreaming of lions.In this story, Santiago was an old and poor widow though he was good at fishing and had so much valuable experience.He only lived on fishing all his life.At long last, he just brought the skeleton back, you may think such a fisherman should be a loser, but this result didn’t mean failing.On the contrary, Hemingway used the skeleton which was the pillar of spirit to strengthen the meaning of the old man’s life.Santiago was described as a perfect person who never gave up.The boy named Manolion appeared in the beginning and at the end.Even during Santiago’s voyage, he always came to the poor old man’s mind.He was the only person who cared Santiago sincerely, trust Santiago absolutely, and the young boy wanted to be an inheritor of Santiago’s career.Hemingway not only told us the experience of fishing should be spread from generation to generation, but also expected us to admire, to learn from and to carry on the spirit of Santiago.The appearance of Manilion was not by chance, which was arranged by Hemingway.During Santiago’s long voyage, how much he wished the boy could have been with him to drive his loneliness away.Youth is the symbol of energy and hope.Even an old man can be young inside.Lions appeared several times in Santiago’s dreams for they were living in his heart, which showed the spirit of Santiago would never be low.The coming of the sharks could not be avoided.They can be thought as attack which can swallow your success and happiness.The story tells me to face the problems happened in my life with a heart as wide as ocean.Though the old man was lonely, he was a traveler who walked on the road of realizing his ideals.But he was not alone at the moment, for his will was so firm.The Old Man and the Sea has won the Nobel Prize at last, which is a comfort to the writer.本文版权归曼界森英书下载网及英文电子书下载网共同所有
