The story of the old man and the sea

The Old Man and the Sea Santiago is a poor old man - or so it seems. Hemingway (Hemingway) shaped this image in his own refined language, so to speak, Hemingway did not give the old man success, but gave him the image of grace and resilience under pressure. The old fisherman drifted for 84 days at sea with nothing to catch a huge and incomparable marlin (marlin), a fish that was 2 feet longer than his fishing boat, and was stabbed to death after dragging the boat for two full days and nights. The old man's fate did not seem to be successful, and he encountered another shark, and after a fight to the death, the marlin was left with a skeleton. Bone is the pillar of the spirit, Hemingway seemingly did not let the old man Santiago success, but with a bare skeleton played the hardness of the old man's life. "I'll stay with you until death" - this hard man faced with the challenge as said. Alluding to where his own heroism lies, as well as his tendency to harden his strength. At the beginning and end of the story, there is a boy named Manolin - he wants to inherit the old man's business. Not only the business of fishing to be inherited, this iron backbone is not for us to revere, worship, learn it. Why does this child appear in the story of the old man? Young, a symbol of strength and hope, even for an old man, his heart is also young. The lions are described several times in the text. On the Afrikaner beach, the lions are laughing and playing, and they appear in the old man's dreams, always in his heart, revealing the same will that the old man will never grow old. This novel by Ernest Hemingway won the Nobel Prize for Literature and the Pulitzer Prize. This hardened writer with hundreds of pieces of shrapnel left in his bones appropriately wrote about the intensity of life, telling us how to face life, old age, sickness and death, telling us how wide our hearts should be, like the sea. The old man is lonely, he is a traveler moving forward on the road of ideals, but he is not alone, because his will is that strong. It is not a bad idea to see the shark as a blow, eating your success and happiness. But as the boy said, "It didn't beat you, it didn't." （Not the fish.") A truly strong man can only be destroyed but not defeated ("A man can be destroyed but not defeated") Never say die, that's what "The Old Man and the Sea" tells us Life is like a long journey, it can't always be smooth sailing, because love, family, career setbacks, and so on. Because of love, family, career setbacks, everyone may have confusion, confusion, disillusionment and do not extricate themselves, a decadence, emptiness, despondency, such as a continuous rain, a long time under the rain, and Hemingway's "The Old Man and the Sea", like a bright sun to light up the reader's mind, illuminate the road of life ahead.
