He swung the tiller across the shark?s head where the jaws were caught in the heaviness of the fish?s head which would not tear. He swung it once and twice and again. He heard the tiller break and he lunged at the shark with the splintered burr. He felt it go in and knowing it was sharp he drove it in again. The shark let go and rolled away. That was the last shark of the pack that came. There was nothing more for them to eat. At last, he sailed back into harbor exhaustedly, with a skeleton of his fish and a broken skiff. “She?s good, he thought. She is sound and not harmed in any way except for the tiller. That is easily replaced” (The Old Man and the Sea, Page109). All what the old man sees are good side. He failed, however, “he is not ?defeated?, despite the fact that has been ?beaten?, as he himself admits, by his violation of the sacred code. He pronounces that nothing ?beat him really and that his only fault was that he ?went out too far? ” (Elegant Demeanor under Heavy Pressure, Page90). 青島理工大學琴島學院畢業(yè)論文用紙 第 7 頁 Daring Spirit for Facing the Challenge The process of the old man?s fishing is just like the human?s whole life. Everyone in the world lives a hard life and has to face the vast and vast sea, the greedy sharks with sharp tooth, and along with himself is just a boat and his soul that support him live in the world. Facing with the respected but fearsome nature, the human being is so insignificant. However the author has raised such a question: by what the human being should have to live in the work? At the same time, the author answered this question by portraying the way that the old man faces the sea and deals with the sharks alone. “Just then, watching his lines, he saw one of the projecting green sticks dip sharply.” (The Old Man and the Sea, Page31) A big fish is hooked. At the first round of contest, the old man suppresses his own desire and waits the fish to eat the hook quietly. The old man?s silent sounds reflect his strong desire from the deep heart. “Eat them, fish. Eat them. Pleased eat them. How fresh they are and …” “?Come down,? the old man said aloud. ?Make another turn. Just smell them.

In the introduction of the essay, I will make a brief description about the contents of this novel and point out the main idea of the novel. The content of the essay is to analyze the characteristics of Code Hero. And then I will set out framework of the essay. The first part of the body is the background information.

Eat them good now and then there is the tuna. Don?t be shy, fish. Eat them.? ”(The Old Man and the Sea, Page3132) With patient the old man faces the silent before the battle. Next is the contest of the strength. The old man “swing with each arm alternately on the cord with all the strength of his arm and the pivoted weight of his body.” But “nothing happened. The fish just moved away slowly and the old man could not raise him an inch.” The fish is so big that can pull away the boat to the wider deep sea. At one side is a very old man, and at the other side is unfathomable sea and unknown injuries, the readers can imagine the picture. Hegel ever said, “The great personality and the degree of firmness can only be measured by those of the opponents.” (The Image in Hemingway?s ?The Old Man and the Sea?, Page24) The old man?s admirable courage is also demonstrated by the opponent—the sea and the sharks. On the returning voyage the old man suffers greater challenge: the Marlin?s blood draws the sharks group. The author uses much ink to portray the sharks “wide, flattened, shovelpointed heads now and their whitetipped wide pectoral fins.
