the Old Man and the Sea

The old man is confident. When he was young, he was sure that if he had the belief to win, he could win over anyone. But what does he think of himself when he is old and he no longer has the power of his youth? After the fight with the big fish, Santiago was attacked by many sharks on his way back, and he continued to fight them, with a harpoon, with a blade. When the harpoon sank to the bottom of the sea, the blade was cold and broken, the tiller was snapped off, and all he had left was his hands and fists. In the end, he returned to Haven with a big fish skeleton.Some people say he is a failure, but I don't think so. I think a successful person is not just looking at the outcome of the process, but focusing on the process. Santiago's pursuit of struggle is very strong, he never stopped the pace of action, setbacks and failures what? It was never a stone that hindered his progress, which was the grandeur and sublimity of his life-and-death struggle against fate. Like Hemingway's characters in a series of novels, Santiago is a "tough guy". They have always maintained vigorous vitality and strong willpower, and have always maintained human dignity and courage. In them, there is an indomitable, steadfast, fearless in the face of violence and death, in the face of adversity and not discouraged strong character. The theme of Hemingway's novels is "the essence of man, his efforts and struggles, his pursuit and pain, his faith and struggle, his stubbornness and value, his intelligence and destiny, his boldness and verve, his dignity and his soul." Even if he fails, he should be open and go forward without losing his "grace". Whether in good times or bad, nature or society, people should face up to the reality, accept everything and transcend it, and continue their journey of life. Even in the face of death, we should be indifferent to it. We would rather bend than bend. This is the life essence of Santiago, and it is also the philosophical flash of the Old Man and the Sea. The lesson from San Diego is to act in the face of certain defeat, rather than act passively. The value and meaning of life lies in the action itself. We should all have the tragic and noble struggle against fate. I see in Santiago the self-worth and positive attitude of life that human beings are always pursuing.
