The Old Man and the Sea I have read the book \"the old man and the sea\" long ago.Maybe it\'s because I was too young to understand the truth and now I have a lot of feelings about reading this book.Although the story of the old man and the sea is short, it is profound.It talked about Cuba,an old fisherman named Santiago,a man alone at sea fishing,in nothing caught 84 days after the Marlins had an immeasurable.This is the old saw has never heard of,and the boat is longer than his two feet of a big fish.Fresh fish is very large,dragging the boat drifted for a whole three days and three nights,the elderly in these three days and three nights have never experienced a difficult stand the test of big fish finally stabbed to death,tied to the bow.However,when the unfortunate return of the shark,the elderly and the shark had fought back against the end,the big marlin,or been eaten by sharks,and the elderly experienced some hardships,Finally dragged home,only a bare skeleton and a fish of the injury,they still got appreciation from people.I think this is a claic tragedy of the novel with a pregnant meaning of heroism, also a symphony.Speaking of this book, it is neceary to mention its author.Its author is Ernest Miller Hemingway, an American novelist.He was born in suburban Chicago, Illinois, in the United States and his masterpieces are the old man and the sea \",\" the sun also rises \",\" a farewell to arms \",\" for whom the bell tolls \"and so on.Hemingway is regarded as the spiritual monument of the American nation and is the founder of the news novel.Hemingway\'s writing style is famous for brevity, which has a profound influence on the development of American literature and the twentieth Century literature.In this novel, he created a firm and inflexible, dare to face, never yield in spite of reverses violence and death.This is a person and nature of the tragedy of the thrilling fight.The old man did not surrender to fate, no matter how in the extremely hard and bitter environment, he with his own courage, perseverance and wisdom were brave struggle.Such a \"hard man\" image, is a typical Hemingway style novel characters.This is a perfect expreion of what the author said, \"you can wipe him out, but you can\'t beat him.\"
The old man and the sea gave me much inspiration in life.The story of the old man not only symbolizes the relationship between man and nature, but also symbolizes the indestructible spirit of the whole human race.In reality, although he failed, but in spirit, he was the winner, his tenacious fighting spirit, showing the dignity and dignity of man.I think this sinister life of this tough environment and attitude towards life, it is this work more attractive book.Life is always an endle pursuit.
In the story, the old man once said, \"no man is not born for failure, but a man can be destroyed, but he cannot be defeated.\" It reminds me of Beethoven\'s symphony of destiny, and Beethoven once said, I can be destroyed, but I can\'t conquer it.They explained the meaning of the hero, the meaning of life.And this sentence also points out the idea of the article: people should bravely face failure.In this respect, this book is not a fable, nor a fairy tale but a realistic work.
Victory is not important in this novel, it is important that a person\'s value of life, the old man dare to challenge the limit, again and again to go beyond, have to let us admire, he brought to mankind is a kind of self-confidence, a strong spiritual strength.What is failure, failure is to fall, summon up the courage to climb up, fall again, once again climb, never lose hope for life, do not lose your dream of life.What are heroes? Heroes are people who dare to face setbacks, challenge setbacks, overcome themselves and overcome setbacks.They have the courage to fulfill their dreams that they may fail many times, which is regarded as a hero.
Failure is not terrible.Terrible is his failure to yield, once the yield, all dreams will not come true, it has a very important significance in the real life, I feel that life is like the old man fishing, there will be so brave to face, even if not succeful, not because there is no effort to leave regrets in life, we have will life is strong, our life will be because of our efforts and wonderful.Reading the book \"the old man and the sea\", I feel that I have added courage and strength to overcome difficulties.No matter how many thorns, how many setbacks in the future education, I believe that only the old people do not concede the quality, I will certainly be the strong life.In addition, I like some of the sentences in this article.For example, the sentence, “Every day is a new day.It is better to be lucky.But I would rather be exact.Then when luck comes you are ready.”and “A man is not made for defeat，a man can be destroyed but not defeated.”In this article, some of the sentences that describe the scenery are well written.For instance,”The clouds over the land now rose like mountains and the coast was only a long green line with the gray blue hills behind it.The water was a dark blue now，so dark that it was almost purple.”And the description of the old man in this article is also very vivid.Such as”But none of these scars were fresh.Everything about him was old except his eyes and they were the same color as the sea and were cheerful and?undefeated.”and “They were strange shoulders，still powerful although very old，and the neck was still strong too and the creases did not show so much when the old man was asleep and his head fallen forward.”
\"The old man and the sea\" is an instinct to let people understand, what is the real life, what is a strong book, a real good book.In real life, we will continue to suffer setbacks, failures, and many negative emotions, and many people are negative and lose their love for life.But the old man and the sea portrayed an old fisherman who struggled with the sea and struggled to live in a difficult environment.You should remember that in the book, the old canvas on the old man\'s fishing boat is like a failed flag, as if it is announcing that the old man will never catch the bad luck of the fish.But he did not give up and still go to sea to catch fish.In reality, some people can not adhere to, in the face of setbacks, choose to give up, choose to escape.
Compared to the old fisherman who has lived in embarrament, the evasive people really don\'t know what is a setback.We may lose confidence in ourselves because of the failure of the exam.Or because of other people\'s criticism, and self - abandonment.At that time, think of the strong old fisherman, how he faced his life.Our own heart, nature will be a lot of relief.We are facing some learning and life setbacks, compared with the old fisherman, really just pale into insignificance by comparison.We do not calloused hands, the skin is not drying out the spot, the summer air conditioning at home, parents help us to wash clothes.When we go home, the food is ready.Whether it is compared with the old fisherman in the book, or in real life, compared with those hard life people, our life has been very good.We should love life and learn to face all the setbacks.Our road is still long.
In the future, we will encounter more, more serious setbacks and failures than ever before.But I believe in thinking about that old fisherman\'s strong and loving life.We will also learn to be strong and face difficulties.
