The Old Man and the Sea2
In 1936, Ernest Hemingway published an article in Esquire magazine titled "On Blue Water: Gulf Stream Alphabets," which included the story of an old man who went out to sea, caught a giant marlin, and then unfortunately threw it to a shark. A few years later, in 1951, Hemingway wrote The Old Man and the Sea, an extension of his previous story. Unable to tie a leash, the old man and his boat were towed out of the sea for three days, endured hunger, pain and discomfort, killed the marlin, and had to be eaten by sharks on the way home. His career as a journalist established his signature writing style – simple sentences, catchy descriptions, short and meaningful words. Although the novel is short and simple, it contains many complex and important themes. The story is told from Santiago's point of view, giving the reader insight into his thoughts and feelings throughout his adventure.
