【正文】 k in that time, I thought it was a boring couldn’t understand why the writer uses so many words to describe an old man’s fishing when I read it in English recently, I really gain something new both in the way of expressions and the spirits it shows to different ages to read the same book will learn different things from old man and the Sea, one of Ernest Hemingway’ s most famous work of fiction, was published in praise that the novel is Hemingway’s last major work of fiction, and he won 1953’s Pulitzer Prize for Fiction , Award of Merit Medal and 1954’s Nobel Prize in is a famous American writer of modern is also an international literary celebrity in the father was a prominent doctor, and also good at fishing and influence of his dad made him full of love with fishing and life was active and adventurous, but it was full of had once joined the army and had injured in Italy, and he suffered much that was brought about by the war was disppointed with the world and the pessimistic about the fate of the order to save the desperate situation, Hemingway wrote a work, the Old Man and the Sea, that he firmly believes to be the best works in his is a story that an old man whose name is Santiago went out to do some fishing on the down on his luck, he hadn’t caught any fish for eightfour dayshe will soon pass his own record of eightyseven goes far out into the sea and He caught a huge marlin which is much bigger than his desperate struggle manages to kill the fish and ties it to the he was on the way home, the smell of blood of the marlin draw a lot of sharks’ attention and they fought for order to protect the marlin and him, the old man tried his best to fight with these dangerous giant sharks eat up the marlin, leaving only a old man brings it home and goes to bed to dream, almost dead with book gives me a deep impression especially the description about the old aspects can be seen from Santiago: such as brave, persistent, pride, optimistic, lonely and does not catche a single fish for eightfour days, what is worse, the child who has catched fish with him also forced to leave is his only friend as well as he still keeps on trying without being goes far out into the sea and catches a huge marlin after three days’ patient a person waits for something so hard and when he has an opportunity to get it, he will cherish the chance carefully and make mind to realize fighting with the huge marlin to driving away the fierce is only when the condition is so bad can show a person’s skill of braveness and thought he is so tired, he brings the big skeleton of the fish back to the bank.“ He saw the white naked line of his backbone and the dark mass of the head with the projecting bill and all the nakeness between.” Maybe, Santiago gets nothing, but he has tasted the victory in fighting tough guy image of the old fisherman is more obvious and reprensents a spirit that is struggle, pride, never given up, reading the big fish’s smell of blood is smelled by one crowd of shark fish, struggled swims snatches the person’s left hand happen to in the only could use the right hand, with wooden mouth and so on all was allowed to use for the weapon selfdefense which attacked，and finally expelled this crowd of shark the big fish’s meat was already eaten the old man also charmingly criticized himself the left hand “ this work time actually was resting ”.I was so admire the old man’s optimistic the life, some losses are inevitable, we should treat by the optimistic book gives me courage of conquering all kinds of I have the belief that the most beautiful thing is the process that we make our best to achieve our dream, and never giving it is certainly true that Santiago’s eightyfourday run of bad luck is an affront to his pride as a masterful fisherman, and that his attempt to bear out his skills by sailing far into the gulf waters leads to disaster, Hemingway does not condemn his protagonist for being full of the contrary, Santiago stands as proof that pride motivates men to the old man acknowledges that he killed the mighty marlin largely out of pride, and because his capture of the marlin leads in turn to his heroic transcendence of defeat, pride bees the source of Santiago’s greatest a ferocious sense of pride, that battle would never have been fought, or more likely, it would have been abandoned before the ’s pride also motivates his desire to transcend the destructive forces of the novel, no matter how horrible his circumstances bee, the old man exhibits an unflagging determination to catch the marlin and bring it to the first shark arrives, Santiago’s resolve is mentioned twice in the space of just a few if the old man had returned with the marlin intact, his moment of glory, 2 like the marlin’s meat, would have been glory and honor Santiago acquires es not from his battle itself but from his pride and determination to the novel begins, Santiago definitely and finally , he kept selfposed and had confidence in his even having got nothing in the first 84 days, he continued to go out to decide to sailing out further than any fisherman had before testified his confidence to the also shows his
