The old fisherman

After closing the book, I closed my eyes quietly, and my mind was full of thrilling pictures of the old man fighting with the shark. The poor old fisherman, who had not caught a fish in eighty-four days, had gone three days in the sea, endured three days of solitude, and brought back only one salmon bone. Hemingway used his own unique language to create an unsuccessful old man, and at the same time to create an elegant and tough under the pressure of life unyielding image. The old fisherman let me understand, a man is not always born failure, even failure is not despair. A person can be destroyed, is eternal, but his spirit is indelible. Only by conquering your own impossibility can you win the victory.
