Reading Report of The Old Man and the Sea

The Old Man and the Sea was written by an American writer named Ernest Hemingway. It has been translated into tens of languages, and the writer was so proud of his work.

Santiago, the hero of the story, had gone eighty-four days without taking a fish back. At first, a boy named Manolion had been with him, but Santiago couldn’t catch even one fish. The boy had gone at his parents’ orders in a lucky boat which caught three good fish the first week, and the couple thought that it was definitely and finally bad to let their boy stay with the old fisherman. On Santiago’s eighty-fifth day of fishing, he went out alone, leaving the smell of the land behind and rowing out into the clean early morning smell of ocean. To his surprise, he caught a tuna which he had never seen before and it was hard to believe that the tuna was bigger than his boat. Later, the blood from the tuna left a trail for all sharks as wide as a highway, so fighting against sharks was unavoidable. The result was that sharks ate up all the meat of the tuna and Santiago only brought the tuna skeleton back. He was so tired that he slept deeply as soon as he got home, dreaming of lions.

The impression of “The Old Man and the Sea”

This book gives me a deep impression especially the description about the man’s braveness and persistence.

When I was a high school student, I’ve finished this book in Chinese. But when I read it in English, I really gain something new both in the way of expression and the spirit it shows to us. May be different ages to read the same book we will learn different things from it. At least, for my part, that is true.

Firstly, I would like to review some information about this book. Such as the background, major characters and the topic of it.

circumstances was formidable enough to make him forsake what he believed in or stop him from achieving his goal. The eyes of the weather-beaten man twinkled with an air of toughness.

After reading”Old man and the sea” ’s impressions

This year winter vacation, I read the american well-known writerHemingway's novel”Old man and the sea”

It seems to be that Santiago is a poor old man. Hemingway refining the language of their own to shape the image, it can be said that Hemingway didn’t let the elderly achieved success,however has been given under the pressure of the elderly in the image of elegance and fortitude.

Hemingway's novel won the Nobel Prize for Literature and the Pulitzer Prize. The tough guy writer, the proper strength to write his life, tell us how to deal with birth, old age, sickness and death, tells us how wide the heart, such as the sea in general. The elderly are lonely, he was approached in an ideal road trip travelers, but he is not lonely, because his will is so strong.

在这部小说中，我非常佩服老渔夫的意志，老渔夫让我懂得了一个人必需要有坚持不懈的精神，才能获得成功。小说通过人与自然的斗争，表达了人要勇敢地面对失败。桑提亚哥在同象征厄运的鲨鱼的斗争中虽然失败了，但他并没有在厄运面前屈服，认为人虽可以暂时战败，但人的精神和意志是永远也打不垮的。“一个人并不是生来要给打败的，你尽可以把他消灭掉，可就是打不败他”，他的这句话在我心中留下了深刻的印象。小说在艺术上具有很高的概括性、寓言性和象征性。运用反衬法、内心独白来刻画人物性格。

The novel told a story about how the old fisherman Santiago struggled with the sea. Santiago gained a huge fish called Marlin after having drifted in the sea for 84 days. It was a fish that is 2 feet longer than the boat and that had dragged his boat for two days before being stabbed to death. It seemed that the old man wasn’t so successful, because he encountered a shark, struggled with the serious environments, even the only spoil——Marlin just left a skeleton. However, the most important thing is that Santiago had never given up for a moment.

The old man and the sea

In the past a few days, we learned something about a novel called the old man and the sea, after learning it, I have some thoughts about it.

The story introduced an old experienced fisherman to us. His name is Santiago. He has not caught any fish for 84 days, so the 85th day, he went to the deep sea, trying to get some fish. It was a hard time when Santiago floated on the sea for almost 3 days in order to catch a big fish called marlin. Finally, he made it. But unfortunately, the smell of blood attracted a lot of sharks. At last, all his effort to drive away the sharks was in vain. His marlin was eaten up, and he still got nothing.
