An admirable old man
The Old Man and the Sea revolves around an old fisherman named Santiago fighting with huge marlin in the gulf stream far from the store. However, a group of sharks snatched the marlin fish, the sharks ate up the marlin fish, and what the marlin fish dragged back there was only a broken tiller left and a pair of bare shelves.
Some people think that this adventure to the old fisherman was a futile one. After all the difficulties and obstacles, he got nothing but the skeleton. In some people's view, it was a meaningless battle. But in my opinion, the old fisherman has gained much more than we thought.
"The will of people can be destroyed, but can not be defeated". The Old Man and the Sea give a spirit of never giving up. The author eulogized the human will to struggle against failure and never give in by portraying an old man who remained brave under the pressure and could never be defeated sipirtually. These seemingly ordinary experiences represent extraodinary spirits.
As a symbolic novel, although the old fisherman of Santiago, the hero, only dragged back the skeleton of a pair of fish after many hardships and dangers, he showed the character of "Tough man". Santiago is not a coward but a fighter. He was in danger, threatened by a huge enemy, and threatened by death. The fisherman has been tenaciously resisting. Although the fat and delicious fish was only damaged by sharks, Santiago didi not give up the hard won fish.
The old man paid a heavy price for every victory, and finally suffered irretrievable failure. However, in another sense, he was also a winner. Because he did not yield to fate, no matter how hard the environment was, he fought bravely with his courage, perseverance and wisdom. Although the marlin was not saved, he defened the "dignity of human soul". Human beings do not bow to the fate, never surrender the spirit of a fighter and a positive and optimistic attitude towards life.
I am deeply encouraged by the fisherman. He is challenging life, roaring at the life and loving life. He has many excellent qualities, calmly accepts failure, calmly and bravely faces death. The old man fished alone. He defeated the big fish and killed the shark, all by his own efforts. It is a kind of firm will, the belief of never giving up and the spirit of self-improvement. So even if the old man returns empty handed, it is still admirable!
Santiago represents the spirit of optimism, perseverance and never say give up. As mentioned in the book: "Everything about him was old except his eyes and they were the same color as the sea and were resonable and undefeated."
Therefore, it is successful to consider the fisherman from the spiritual level. The old man's final harvest is: persistence in dreams; Be firm and tenacious in the face of difficulties. What matters is not the result, but the process of struggle. People can be defeated, but people's beliefs will never be defeated.
