Never give up
better and better
Although the old man and the sea story brief but profound meaning, writing is the old fisherman Santiago in consecutive eighty-four days without fish, finally found a weight at the 85th day more than 1500 pounds of salmon, and began the fight for three days and three nights, the big fish finally exhausted floating on the surface of the water, was killed by him. He was repeatedly attacked by sharks on the way home and returned to port with only the head and tail of a fish and a backbone.This is a profound classical tragic novel, but also a symphony of heroism. Hemingway said, "I tried to describe a real old man, a real child, a real sea, a real fish and a lot of real sharks. However, if I can write it realistic enough, they can also represent many other things." The old man Santiago, described in the story, was a hapless man. He had no fish for 84 days, and other fishermen regarded him as a failure. But this seemed to herald the beginning of a battle, and sure enough, on the eighty-fifth day, he did find a 1,500-pound salmon. He was determined to fight to the end, knowing that the enemy was stronger than he was. He said to the fish, "I'll stay with you until the end." "And finally won the victory. After the old man worked hard to catch the fish, the test did not end. The fish was so big and long that he had to tie it to the side of the boat. On the return voyage, the smell of the fish's blood attracted the sharks to attack again and again. So, he used every personal means to fight back. The harpoon had been carried away by the shark, and he tied the knife to the oar. The knife broke. He used a club. The club was gone, too, and he used the tiller on the outside. Though all the flesh was eaten, nothing could destroy his will. God seems to have taken pity on such a great old man, he will be bad luck again and again on the old man, finally his indomitable will but did not get good results, back to the harbor only left a fish head tail and a backbone.
Why didn't Hemingway let the old man win in the end? Isn't this more able to reflect the greatness of the hero? The story of the old man symbolizes not only man's relationship with nature, but also the indestructible spirit of the entire human race. In reality, although he failed, but in spirit, he is the winner, his tenacious spirit of fighting, showing the dignity and dignity of people. Who hasn't experienced failure in all his life? Even the most successful people. The reasons for failure can vary, but it's always a blow that you can't take. Go to sea again, and you will have the hope of victory. I think that this treacherous environment and this tenacious attitude towards life are the reasons why the work has become more and more attractive. Life is an endless pursuit. In the story, the old man once said, "But man is not made for defeat. A man can be destroyed but not defeated." This sentence reminds me of Beethoven's Symphony of Destiny, Beethoven once said: "I can be destroyed, but I cannot conquer." They show what it means to be a hero, the meaning of life. One should face up to failure bravely. In this respect, the book is neither a fable nor a fairy tale, but a work of realism. Victory in this novel is no longer important, what is important is the value of a person's life, the old man dare to challenge the limit, go beyond again and again, have to let us admire, he brings human is a kind of confidence, a strong spiritual strength.
The Old Man and the Sea has given me a lot of life inspiration. What is failure, failure is to fall up again courage to climb up, fall again and again to climb up, never lose hope of life, don't lose their dreams of life. What is a hero, a hero is the courage to face setbacks, challenges setbacks, overcome themselves, overcome setbacks, they have the courage to complete their dreams may have failed many times, this is a hero. I like Hemingway's "The Old Man and the Sea" very much, and I also know that Hemingway's life has many ups and downs, including wars, diseases and mental torments. In fact, he has been brave again and again, but unfortunately, in the end, he still chose to commit suicide to end his life. Maybe he has his own reasons. But it is a pity that he has gone against the narrative of defeat and heroism in The Old Man and the Sea.
Failure is not to be feared. Terrible is his own for failure to yield, once the yield, so all dreams won't achieve, it is of important significance in real life, I think life is just like the old man fishing, will appear so bravely to face, even without success, also will not regret for life, because there is no effort we will be stronger in the life, Our life will also be wonderful because of our efforts.
