Life force

The old man and the sea, the sea, is the old man's life; Life, is the loneliness of the old; Loneliness, is the belief of the old; Faith is the soul of the old. The sea is the soul of the old. After reading this novel, I found that the story of the old man not only symbolizes the relationship between man and nature, but also symbolizes the indestructible spirit of the whole human race. In reality, although he failed, but in spirit, he is the winner, his indomitable fighting spirit, showing the nobility and dignity of people. Looking at all of life, who hasn't experienced failure? No matter how successful people are. The reasons for failure may vary, but it's always a blow you can't take. The question is do you dream of lions? Are you still ready to go out to sea? Go to sea again, and you will have hope of victory. I think this sinister environment and this Stoic attitude towards life is what makes this work more and more attractive. Life is a kind of endless pursuit, as for the final is to catch a complete Marlin, or a pair of empty skeleton marlin, this is indifference, because the value of a person's life, has been fully reflected in the process of the pursuit of Marlin. Once the energy of life, for their own ideal pursuit, struggle for the old man, is not a real winner? Such a life should have no regrets. After reading "The old man and the sea", I think: I want to Santiago to learn that kind of treatment of difficulties perseverance, the spirit of hard struggle, in their own future life and learning also become the strong will never be defeated. The old Man and the Sea tells us that "man is not made for defeat. A man can be destroyed but not defeated."
