I am ashamed to say that I have only now finished reading this masterpiece. Hemingway portrayed a resolute, tenacious and compassionate old man, and perfectly sublimated his qualities in a thrilling voyage to sea. At the same time, this is another reflection on victory and defeat. Was the old man defeated in the end, or did he achieve the noblest victory? The ending is a stunning regret, with a long and thought-provoking aftertaste.

"The Old Man and the Sea" was a required reading when I was in school. At that time, I thought it was just a story about an old man fighting a swordfish. After reading this book again after many years, I can understand why it is called a great book. 1. The spirit of not admitting defeat. Santiago is getting older and his body is not as good as before. His hand cramps from time to time are not suitable for fishing in our opinion. However, in this case, he is still able to catch a very large swordfish and defeat it with perseverance. This kind of perseverance and perseverance is worthy of our praise. 2. Realization of self-worth. When Santiago defeated Sailfish, he recalled how he arm-wrestled with the big black man and fought all night to finally win, and he used this to motivate himself. He also dreamed of African lions, and he believed that he would also be the king of the ocean. The most important thing is that he wants to tell everyone that he is a great old man, and the huge fish bone is his most shining trophy🏆. 3. Overcome loneliness. People are born lonely. Santiago is very old and his wife has passed away, leaving him alone. The loneliness in his old age continues to attack his heart. When he was fighting the swordfish, the most common thing he said was "It would be nice if the boy was here." He said that the boy could help him a lot, but when the boy was gone, the only one who could help him was himself. This was just his battle alone. The battle with the swordfish was also a battle with himself. 4. He is such a great old man!

Although it seems that all the hard work is in vain, the fish bones that are more than ten meters long are a medal of courage!

Not catching fish for several months was definitely a fatal blow to an old fisherman. As a result, he was impoverished, questioned and ridiculed by others, but he did not give up on himself, and his children did not disappoint him because of this. The old man believed that he would not be defeated and was still living strong. Finally one day, he made up his mind to prove that he was not defeated and went fishing deep into the long island that seemed to be separated from the mainland by a chasm. On the island, he was lucky enough to find a giant swordfish, but this was also unlucky. The old man struggled with it for two days and two nights. During this period, the old man encountered many desperate moments, such as running out of food and lack of tools. But the old man used his stooped, panting and exhausted body to endure it all, and finally defeated his rival and brother swordfish! The old man put the swordfish, which was more than twice the size of his boat, on the boat, so that half of its body leaked out of the boat, and its blood dyed the deep and silent sea red. The old man was sitting on the boat during the reverse voyage. The old man and the fish sat side by side like brothers. He was very happy, but also felt guilty for killing the swordfish with his conspiracy. He had not lost his kindness and knew the law of the jungle. But the happy time is always short-lived. The smell of blood attracts the overlord sharks of the ocean. They come one after another, and even swarm you. It really makes you desperate and powerless, but this does not defeat the old man. And the old man, as he said, people can be destroyed, but should not be defeated. He still fights against this hateful shark with various weapons without mercy. The old man finally returned to the continent where he lived, but only rows of skeletons were left on the fish on the boat. However, this did not prove that the old man was defeated. This skeleton could only symbolize his victory and bravery...

When I read this book, it happened to be during the slump of my summer vacation. During the graduation season, a good friend of three years suddenly broke up with me, which made me very depressed. I lay dead at home for a month. The language of this book is simple. Compared to my trivial matters, emm..., The protagonist in the book fights with sharks and confronts big fish. It really made me understand that this is nothing to me! There are inevitable setbacks in life. People can be defeated, but they cannot fail. There are very few bright moments in life, most of them are setbacks and sufferings. Come on, may we all have a new future!

The old man is lucky to know the little boy, and the little boy is also lucky to know the old man, which makes the old man more concerned and less lonely in the process of facing challenges again and again. Moreover, the old man believes that he will not be hit. In the face of difficulties, he can always make himself positive and succeed. Even if only the trunk of the fish is left in the end, the spiritual courage of the old man is commendable. This pair is closely related to our lives. When facing setbacks, we should not be pessimistic and maintain an upward spirit.

This is the second book I have read in my freshman year. "People are not born for failure. A person can be destroyed, but not defeated."

This is the first time I watched it, and my feeling is that even though the old man didn't gain much in the end, his tenacious fighting courage and iron will are things I don't have now. I hope I can truly possess it when I face setbacks. Failure is not terrible. What is terrible is that you don't even have the courage to face it. Instead of spending your life in failure, it is better to face success on the road of failure. 2022.4.16

For everyone, we will encounter our own limits. There are limits to what a smart but strong person can do. The old man brought back a skeleton. Did he fail? No, in my opinion, he is a successful person. In the face of the unknown and struggle, he always uses unyielding perseverance to overcome difficulties. He fights against fate. He is stretching his hands beyond the limit. In every day's attempts, the limit is slowly getting bigger. The closer a person is to the limit and is willing to fight, the easier it is to fail. On the contrary, those who are content within the limit are more "victory". The old man never puts down his arms. He never loses confidence. He always faces the mysterious sea with incomparable courage. , His courage is invincible. Even if a person is destroyed, he should not be defeated. People are never born for failure.

The most intuitive feeling about the old man and the sea: the old people are all the people in society who are working hard for life, and the sea is this society; of course, normal people will become old people, but not everyone is a Santiago

Let me tell you my feelings after watching it. I read an excerpt of The Old Man and the Sea when I was in high school. The text was selected from the plot of the old man fighting a shark🐟, so by reading the complete version at this time I will have a deeper understanding of the image of the old man. Although the old man was poor and struggled to make ends meet, he was still optimistic and positive. When he encountered shark attacks again and again, even though he had fewer and fewer tools that could threaten the sharks, his palms were scarred, and his back was covered with scars, he did not give up the fight. Such tenacious spirit is worth learning! While reading, I always compare myself with the old man, thinking that the old man has such conditions and is still so positive and tenacious. As for me, my conditions are much better than him, so I will keep a positive attitude to volunteer and complete the task of helping others~ This is the first time I write a long book review on 🍅 (hh is actually not very long either), but I believe I will read more and more books to enrich myself! Fighting!

The language is simple. There are even no complicated words to say. But can complex feelings only be expressed with complex words? This is the genius of Hemingway.

Tenacious progress is the main theme of an undefeated life. Although the old man only brought back fish bones and fish heads in the end, and said that he was defeated, his victory had long been hidden in repeated fights with fish. The old man always dreams about African lions and animals in his sleep, which reminds him of his young and fearless self again and again, and the brave scene of fierce fighting again and again. I hope that when we grow old, we can regain the courageous struggle of our youth and find our own trumpet for victory.

This book embodies the old man's bravery and intelligence, his tenacious fighting spirit, his calm thinking and optimistic thinking in the face of difficulties, and his low-key answers in the face of praise from others. It also shows how huge and mysterious the world in the sea is, and how dangerous the sea is everywhere, but we still managed to get through it in the end! Worth recommending

"But even if a person is destroyed, he should not be defeated. People are never born for failure." ""I'm not an ordinary old man. " "If I am lucky enough to be able to buy it, I will definitely buy some. " When the waves hit, I hope I can be like this bad old man, carrying a blade and waiting for the dawn.

This book made me see that we should stay optimistic and strong in the face of unfortunate life, and there will still be luck. Many times life is a battle for ourselves. We may get a lot of comments from others, but only we can know that those seemingly inconspicuous stones are what we care about most.

I think I need to write something, I'm going to write something. I can't remain silent after reading a book. I want to write my true feelings to guide those who come after me. Hemingway is worthy of the title of American tough guy. The old man in his novel, Santiago, is strong, brave and resolute. He fights with the big marlin for three days and two nights without fear of hardships and dangers to capture it. In order to protect the big marlin, he also fights with sharks. Although only the fish bones are left in the end, Hemingway uses the character of Santiago to vividly express his new belief in life that he will never give up. People can only be destroyed and cannot be defeated.

The old man is both a loser and a winner. Although he lost an unprecedented big fish, his tough guy's tenacity in the fight with the beast moved everyone, just like the majestic lion in a dream.

I am an unusual old man

Very good! This book creates the image of a persistent and brave tough guy, "People can be destroyed, but they cannot be defeated." This is the best portrayal of the old fisherman's spirit. The old fisherman's monologue in the book impressed me deeply. His words not only encouraged himself, but also encouraged the readers. No one can destroy an unyielding and tenacious heart, and will can affect a person's success or failure. We live in a privileged environment and are used to taking things easy. This resilience gradually fades away, and we seem to have forgotten how important human resilience is. Reading this book ignited my fighting spirit again.

The old man said: "Even if a person is destroyed, he should not be defeated. People are never born for failure."

I benefited a lot from reading this book, and I was deeply moved by the old man's tenacious determination. The boy also regards the old man as his own grandfather, and the friendship between them is also very deep. This book is worth reading

It can be destroyed, but never give up. This is how life is. You must strengthen yourself and live tenaciously. But I don't want to be destroyed either. I just want to live a good life and survive well without giving up. Be strong, be resilient, live, survive. [Working on manuscript][Eating Melon] Persistence is strength, being tenacious and not giving up, not messing around is victory. [Think]

Without the enthusiasm of a young man, he affectionately calls the sea a woman and calls the struggling big fish a friend. This is a kind of love and awe for nature. Even if he fails, he still has the determination to continue fighting with life. From a certain perspective, he has not failed.

The spirit of the old man is worth learning from all of us. The kind-hearted children never abandon the old man. The children respect and love him. People are not born to be defeated. Even if they are destroyed, be a fighter of life!

Although it was a glorious defeat, the old man's bravery and fearlessness touched me! The old man is lonely, but fortunately there is a little boy who loves him... Come on, hold on! Nothing is impossible, right? Even if the final result is unsatisfactory, this experience is not in vain!

Alas, when I first watched it, I always felt that the old man was very sensitive and stubborn. I was also wondering why he had to go to such a far place. Didn't I consider the conditions of my own situation? I felt a little angry. At first, I felt that there was a reason for his failure. Later I found that there was no way to be sure. Sometimes even if my conditions are good and suitable, the future is unpredictable. Later I felt relieved. In addition, the children's concern for Santiago always reminds me that no matter what kind of treatment they receive outside or how unsuccessful they are, there are still people who care about and take care of them when they return home. It makes me feel that people who love you will give you the care you need, no matter your age or how much of a failure you are.

This short story is one of the masterpieces of the American writer Hemingway. I will always remember a sentence in the book, I can be destroyed, but I cannot be defeated. The image of a tough guy was instantly established. In the novel, after many years of fishing, the protagonist failed to catch a big fish for a long time, but he still insisted on continuing fishing at sea, and finally caught an extremely huge marlin. In the process of catching the marlin, Santiago also suffered countless struggles and torture, but he still persisted in his long battle with the huge fish. In the end, although Santiago failed to bring the fish ashore, he still maintained his inner determination and courage, winning the admiration and recognition of readers.

The spirit reflected in The Old Man and the Sea is the spirit of a tough guy: the protagonist fights against fate with his indomitable will, bravely faces the cruel reality, and "maintains elegance under heavy pressure"; he continues to live in nothingness with great courage and tenacious perseverance, maintaining human dignity. "A person can be eliminated, but cannot be defeated" is a concentrated summary of the "tough guy" spirit.
