The spirit of the old man

刘美俐21英语10班

The old fisherman showed amazing perseverance in his fight with the sea. Among them, I like a sentence from Hemingway and a sentence from the book best. Hemingway once said, "Perseverance is calm in a tense state." In our life, we look at many difficulties, and at this time we need to overcome them with perseverance. Just like the old fisherman in the book, he can catch a shark even though his hands are cut to pieces in order to catch it. Another sentence in the book also inspired me: "People are not born for failure." This sentence was also said by the old fisherman when he was talking to himself. I think the old man is a lonely, optimistic and strong person, which is worthy of our admiration.

  Behind Hemingway's profound and delicate description, he often feels an empty and lonely heart, longing for recognition and self-realization. In the consciousness of one's own experience, it beats, but still cannot free itself from its self-absorbed thoughts.

  In The book "The Old Man and the Sea", the old man tried his best to prove his strength, not willing to surrender to his fate, finally, he caught a big fish, although the fish was eaten by sharks, the huge skeleton is amazing, and he is exhausted... Is he satisfied with that? In the face of a beautiful life, he wants to conquer as a fisherman, is actually driven by a self-fulfilling impulse. When he tries to fight against his own fate at the same time, the self is challenged, and finally can not escape the pain of frustration, and defeated, in despair at the same time, the old man began to regret the life of the fish he conquered and was attacked by the shark

  At the end of the story, the author tells us that one cannot fight one's fate with one's own strength. In this story, the author projected himself onto the body of the old man, and used the harsh environment, the stormy sea, and the sharks in the sea to refer to his cruel fate.
