The Old Man and the Sea

Rece ntly I have read The Old Man and the Sea , I was deeply moved by the old man and his spirit.

The author of the book Ern est Hemi ngway is one of the most famous America n novelist, short-story writer and essayist. The Old Man and the Sea was written in 1951 in Cuba, and published in 1952 and won the Pulitzer Prize for fiction in 1953 and he won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1954. The book was the last major work of fiction to be produced by Hemin gway and published in his lifetime. One of his most famous works.

It ' s a story about a old man struggling with nature, though he was defeated at last, in some extent, he has already challenged himself and nature.Santiago, the hero of the story, had gone eighty-four days without t aking a fish back. At first, a boy named Manolion had been with him, but Santiagocatch even one fish. The boy had gone at his parents ' orders in a lucky boat which caught three good fish the first week. Santiago is a very old Cuban fisherman, even he had been unable to catch a single fish for totally eight-four days. He did n ' t give up. he made his decisi on that he should fish aga in to get

over the uniucky time. And he held the belief that

he could do it and he would be lucky eno ugh to fish, but mean while, he should go to deeper waters. On the 85th day, he caught a massive marli n. But after two days and nights' fierce and toug h fighting, the old man was only to bring back a large colossal marli n skel eton, a worn-out boat, and his exhausted body. But he still be appreciated. I believe everybody who has read the book must admire San tiago ' s persevera nce.Whe n I

read “ the senior fisherma n thi nk: Here to the seaco ast really was too n ear, perhaps could have a bigger fish in a farther place ... xtremely adr”re this senior fisherman, because he by now already projected on some fish, but he had not settled to the present situation,

b ut was approaches the bigger goal adva nce.Whe n I read “ the big marli n 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 t he water surface in it the flash, did utmost throws to its heart, one wail en ded the big fish's life, it was stati

c floats on the water surface... My heart also like

d together th

e big stone falls. I extremely admire old person that kind do not dread, the relentless spirit, although knows the match strength is very strong, but he not slightly flinches, but is welcomes difficultly ab ove. There is no doubt that he is great, because he n ever gave up in the face o

f difficulties that he showed great en dura nee in his battle aga inst the sea. “ But a man is not made for defeat , ” he man can be destroyed but not defeated . ” Santiago wateoldijusayisaid

“ Everyth ing about him was old except hia eyes and they were the same color as the

sae and were cheerful and un defeated . ” He think every day is a new day, no matter how

old he was. He said “It ' s better to be lucky, but I woueXac t hTihbe whe n I are luck comes you are ready. ” Santiago was poor, he had nothing except a little boat and harpo on. But he said “ Now I not time to think what you do not have. Think of what you

can do with what there is. ” Somebody said Santi^goew Bea^ase at last he

wishes that it had bee n a dream and the boy cried for him can really approve it. I n this way I think San tiago was a lucky pers on. Because he still had Man doli n. The boy loved him and pitied him. If Man doli n had no money his own, he begged or stole to make sure that San tiago had eno ugh to eat and fresh baits for his lin es. The old man accepts his kindness with humility that was like a quiet kind of pride .

I think Santiago is a hero, not a failure. The value of his life was completely reflected in the way which he caught fish. He is the real winner in his own world. We can learn from him that no matter what difficulties we meet, we must hold our honor. We may lost this game, but we should n ever give ourselves up as hopeless. I am willi ng to live as the old man, to face any challe nges in the future and n ever give up.

Vessel crossed the end of the world, into the unknown sea, hanging on the side of the bow while and rain erosion-stricken still

in comparably beautiful flag, banner, bran dish ing a Yunlong gen eral words glittering-beyond the limit ” This is the author Hemingway ' s evaluation of his work

“ The Old Man and the Sea ”

Life itself is an en dless pursuit. It ' s a long road, difficulty and full of bumpy, but as long as their in domitable courage and self-c on fide nee to a heart to meet the challe nge, he will always be a real winner!
