About This Novel
"The Old Man and the Sea" is a heroic and tragic novel full of fighting spirit and profound implications. It tells us a very impactful story in extremely concise and neat language. Hemingway said: "I tried to describe a real old man, a real child, the real sea, a real fish and many real sharks. However, if I can write realistic enough, they can also represent many other things." A person can be destroyed, but cannot be defeated - this is the spirit to be conveyed in "The Old Man and the Sea".

The boy is still too young, and he should listen to his parents. Santiago is actually very lonely when he is alone, but he can make a living by fishing.

They are all a group of people struggling in the face of suffering...
The boy respected Santiago very much because he knew Santiago's strength. Although sometimes he failed to catch fish, he taught the boy all his knowledge.
