The Old Man and the SeaThe first contact with “the old man and the sea” is in the Chinese text in high school, It is a very good article because it can be included in the high school language text. At that time, the image of the elderly, the image of the sea in this article impressed me very much. The second contact with “the old man and the sea” is the singer Hemingway sing the song of the same name. The same name convey the different theme, but the two have brought the same sad tone. I read the Chinese version of the old man and the sea before, So this time to see the English version is successful. But with the Chinese and English books, I can not help but go to see Chinese, I know its a bad habit, I hope in the future of reading, I can reduce my dependence on Chinese. So that I can really improve my English reading ability.After reading this novel, I also watched the movie of the same name. This is an old film. But through the film, the novel in the delicate description through the vivid image of the screen convey to me. Especially the picture which the old man is alone in the sea to capture the great Marlin, and the scenes the old man in order to protect the marlin fighting with shark. Now the picture is deeply engraved in my mind, think of all cannot hold back the tears.the old man and the seais a novella written by Hemingway in 1951 in Cuba.This novel is written according to a true story. After the first World War, Hemingway moved to Cuba, know the old fisherman knew Gregorio Fuentes. In 1930, Hemingway took the boat sank in the storm, Fuentes rescue the Hemingway.Since then, Fuentes and Hemingway forged a profound friendship, and often go to sea fishing. I think this novel will be so successful one reason is the author has a real experience of fishing in the sea. The description in this article can be so exquisite. In 1936, Fuentes caught a big fish from the far of the sea, but because the fish is too big, in the sea dragged for a long time. On the return journey, the fish was attacked by a shark , when he came back , the fish only a skeleton. The story is the prototype of the novel.The plotagonist of the old man and the sea called San Diego.He is a old fisherman, He is an old and lonely old man, But he doesnt have a source of income. He goes to sea every day to make a living. At beginning, The image of the plotagonist attract readers to understand him through the story. The old man has not caught fish for a long time, If there were no children, Ma Nuolin, I cant imagine how the old man will live. But from the conmunication with the elderly and Manolin.We can be found that the elderly never give up hope. This time, he went to sea again. It seemed that the god had pity on him and gave him good luck. He caught a eighteen feet in length, one thousand and five hundred pound marlin. But this fish is too big too strong. The fish even dragged the boat to the sea, The old man is still dead pull not to put, even without water, no food, no weapons, no assistant, left hand cramps, experienced wind and rain, but he did not lose heart. After two days and two nights, he finally killed the big fish, then tied it on the boat. I cried, because the old mans insistence and his efforts. I smiled, because he can go to back be full of the harvest. Just put down the heart has been brought up again. Because of the sharks appearance, rob him of his trophies.Why? Why didnt God give him a little more luck.The old man was so brave, he did not retreat, he was ready to fight with sharks. In the first two rounds of the fight, the harpoon did not, no knife any more. Fish have been eaten a lot. A third round attack began, The old man left a broken tiller as a weapon. The older man try his best ,but,The big fish still can not escape the fate of being eaten. Eventually, the old man dragged back a fish bone. Why? I dislike the ending. Will not work hard to return it? I write with my tears in the eyes. Im really sad. At the end of the novel, the old man lay in bed exhausted, he dreamed of the sea again. He love sea.But I think the author is trying to convey, even after such a big hit, the old man will still continue to fishing out the sea when he had a rest. It make me feel very gratified for the exist of Manolin in the story. At least he was with the old man.Take care of him, give him strength, know his deeds.The story is very simple, it is easy to understand, but why it is regarded as a classic? I think the success of the novel lies in exquisite writing style, and convey a hopeful and positive outlook on life. The novel moved the people and make the reader full of hope for life, not afraid of difficulties.This feeling and the attitude towards life is not divided into age or country. Yeah, life
