the extraordinary brilliance of this ordinary man

朱盈

I think Santiago is lonely and great, or lonely because of greatness. Human nature cannot forgive the extraordinary brilliance of this ordinary man, so people respect him and isolate him. In the simple hut by the sea, Santiago's lonely life is heartbreaking. The kind-hearted Manolin is like an angel. Each appearance adds some bright color to the novel. But when we see him saying true and false words with the old man, we know it is comfort, but our heart is more painful.

I don't know how to fish, but Hemingway used the most concise words to describe the scene of birth and make the reader become a cloud hanging in the sky, overlooking the sea. We saw the small broken boat that was dragged farther and farther by the big marlin, the uneven patches, and the old man's cramped hands.

  I feel that the old man is as lonely and self-reliant as the left-behind old man in reality. The little boy is a beam of light in his life, always accompanying and comforting him. This age-crossing friendship is moving.

  "The Old Man and the Sea" is set in Cuba in the mid-20th century. The main character is an old fisherman named Santiago, and the supporting role is a child named Manolin. The ailing old fisherman did not catch a fish for eighty-four days in a row, but he still refused to give up, but full of fighting spirit, finally caught a marlin eighteen feet long, weighing fifteen hundred pounds in the eighty-fifth day. The fish dragged the boat out to sea, but the old man held on, even though he had no water, no food, no weapon, no helper, and a cramp in his left hand. After two days and nights, he finally killed the fish and tied it to the side of the boat. But many sharks immediately came to take his prize. He killed them one by one until all that was left was a broken tiller as a weapon. As a result, the fish was still eaten up, and at last, exhausted, the old man hauled back a pair of fish bones. He went home to bed and had to forget the cruel reality by dreaming back the good old days
