第一篇：老人与海读后感 英文（范文模版）
The old man Santiago from The Old Man and the Sea is a character seen in many perspectives, as a hero, an ordinary fisherman, an unlucky old man, and a wise man.Throughout the novella he is made out as a person of motivation, passion, and hope.Despite what others do or do not think he is a man of action, and not one consumed by regret.The young and old villagers’ view of Santiago is an important one, but not a differentiating one.The villagers are split into two groups.The older fishermen that respect Santiago and wish him luck, and the younger fishermen that see him as little more than bad luck.While neither group is particularly important to the plot, each of their views sets an ambiance of Santiago’s forthcoming adventure.Without their views Santiago would be little more than a lucky old fisherman.Santiago has a resolute grip upon reality and lives by it.He sees himself as 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.His constant struggles and his persistent resolve to overcome the marlin and himself show his earnest desires to live and fish.The boy is a crucial element to Santiago’s world.Manolin is always at the edge of Santiago’s mind when he thinks of convenience.At times with the fish, Santiago thinks to the boy and then to his own lack of ability.He may deny it, but at times it is his relationship with the boy that both makes him realize he needs help, and compels him to go on.Christian imagery and concepts are important assets to the old fisherman’s personality.He is seen as a kind man, and although expresses his frustration towards certain points, only conveys his anger towards the evil representation of the sharks.His kind, infinite eyes, and he carrying his mast like Jesus and his cross only augment his Christ-like personage.His loneliness and greatness are both shown as Manolin is assigned a new boat after 40 days with Santiago, the same length of time as Christ spent in the wilderness.Santiago’s change at the end of the novella turns him into almost a universal hero.By being at sea, his ventures were never limited and the events of the story just seemed to happen.After he rebukes himself for his arrogance with the marlin, Santiago goes home and dreams of the lions playing in Africa, signaling a cycle of a child-like rebirth through Manolin.Throughout the story many aspects can be found about Santiago’s personality merely by the content of his 3-day fight with the marlin.The ideology that encompasses the story is only consumed by Santiago’s pure will to persevere.Certainly Santiago is a man of many themes and personality traits.I believe that in the past three decades, the way society has treated he elderly has remained primarily the same.Some younger citizens have looked up to the elderly with respect, yet most continue to shun them and
consider them useless and hopeless in a society such as ours.I think that the elderly population is continually losing respect from the new generations.Santiago, the elderly man in the novel The Old Man and the Sea, is respected by a young boy, Manolin, yet he is also looked down uponby many of the younger fishermen in the Cuban fishing village where he lives.This book is set in the late 1930's and, I as I see it, shows that societies all around the world have had a decline in respect for the older people in their environment since the beginning of the nineteenth century.An enormous number of issues have changed since Santiago's time, allowing the elderly to have the ability to do more in their old age and live in areas specifically designed for their needs.However, there is still an enormous lack of respect for the older people in society, and it is
becoming worse every day.Younger citizens of our country make fun of older people, call them names, and believe that they are incapable of doing most things that the younger ones are capable of doing.When we believe they can no longer support themselves, we place our elderly relatives into retirement homes and “old folks' homes” as many call them.Sometimes they, themselves, do not wish to go to such a place, but we force them to, which many times is the wrong choice.Some younger people help the elderly, though, and try to support them, but few of these people can be found.It is a fact that when people get beyond a certain age, their memories begin depleting and they atrophy physically.However, as Santiago shows in the novel, older people have much knowledge about the world around them and enough strength to make it through hard situations if they are determined and have the will and courage to believe in a better tomorrow.In Santiago's community, it is shown that their is still a natural respect for elders, as is seen in Manolin's support of the old man.He was one of the dying breed that truly looked up to his elders and regarded their feelings and experiences with much respect.He greatly aided Santiago by giving him support and courage and helping him through every day chores.Their are still some people with such feelings in the world today, yet many have had their opinions swayed by others and begin to think badly of the elderly.Their is also a lack of respect for Santiago and the elderly in the novel, which can be found in the actions of the young fisherman.Some laugh at him when he passed by, and some thought of him to be too old to be a fisherman.They believed he was not in good enough shape to catch a fish, yet it was only his bad luck that deterred him from doing such a thing.He was much better and more exact than most of the other fisherman in the village, yet they could not see past his age to view his accomplishments.I think the false beliefs about the weakness of the elderly can be turned around only if society looks much harder at their abilities and their goals.We must begin to see that although they may not have great physical strength, they still have a mind that is capable of many things.Their are many jobs that they can hold in the workplace and many things they can do to help society of which we, the younger generation, are not aware.We must realize that they have gone through many experiences that we have not and that they hold a vast amount of knowledge about the world around them.There will come a time when one's age does not determine the value of one's life, but we can change that dream to reality only if we try.

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
