Nowadays,I have read a book called The Old Man and The Sea.This novel
written by Hemingway told us a story about an old man whose name is
Santiago.It was one of Hemingway’s most famous novels and helped
Hemingway made great achievement in his literature
career.What’smore,this book published byYILINPRESS in April 1,2007.
The hero of The Old Man and These a was a senior fisherman who called
Santiago.He was ordinary but brave and great.Whatever the weather,he had
to fish to make.a living.His life was very hard,but he never gave
up.Santiago faced his life positively and lived well by
himself.Fortunately,he was not lonely because of the company of a little
boy.The cute boy’s name was Manolin.In Manolin’s heart,this old
fisherman was not only a hero,but also his idol.He treated Santiago very
well and often helped him.Though Manolin’s parents prevented him staying
with Santiago,this little boy didn’t do this.He still chose to accompany
and learn from the senior fisherman,who was a hero in his eyes.He
believed that Santiago was a good fisherman and he could obtain some
knowledge from him. In fact,the story contains many different symbols
and themes.By reading this book,was deeply impressed by the old man and
what he said "a man can be destroyed but not
defeated.”Santiago,though destroyed at the end of the novel,is never
defeated.lnstead,he emerges as a hero.Santiago’s struggle does not
enable him to change man's place in the world.But the struggle somehow
enables him to meet his most dignified destiny.The old man sets a good
example for us.Heteachersusthatweshouldfightandneverlosefaith,never
giveup.No matter how hard the life is,it is possible for us to overcome
the difficulties.I think that we should also learn from Santiago due to
his great spirit.Although he was very poor,he was still confident enough
to overcome all the difficulties in his life.His body was weak,but his
mind was strong.For about 84 days,Santiago hadn’t got any
fishes.However,he didn’t stop trying.He just made good preparation and
set out in the 85th day.Through the 3-day fight,the old fisherman got
the first fish in those 88 days.It was a big marlin fish.Seeing
it,Santiago was quite tired out but also excited.Unexpectedly,after he
made the big marlin fish surrender,he met across some big and fierce
sharks.Those sharks wanted to eat the big marlin fish
too.Certainly,Santiago wouldn’t allow it happen.Facing those terrible
sharks,Santiago wasn’t afraid.He fought against them
bravely.Finally,those sharks ate the meat of the big marlin fish,just
leaving the bone of the big marlin fish,just leaving the bone of the big
marlin fish to the old man. Maybe someone would regard Santiago as a
loser,but from my point of view,Santiago didn’t lose.He was a hero and
his spirit would exitin people’s heart forever.Nowadays,more and more
people lack the spirit of bravery and insistence.That was what we should
learn from the old man.Santiago was quite aware of the trouble he would
get into.He just tried his best to solve it,though.So,in fact,he was a
real winner.We ought to set the senior fisherman as an example.Santiago
was worthy to be learned by Manolin.The little boy’s choice was right
and sensible.As far as I’m concerned,whatever and whenever difficulty we
may come across,we shouldn’t be scared.First,we ought to calm down and
be confident and rational to face it.Second,trying out best to find the
appropriate way to settle the problem is very important.Third,whatever
there sult will be,we just work hard to realize it as possible,or we may
regret.Only in this day,can we succeed and make more achievements in the future.
