Santiago, an old Cuban fisherman, finally caught a big marlin alone after 84 consecutive days without catching a fish. However, the fish was so big that he dragged his boat at sea for three days before the big marlin was exhausted and he killed it and tied it to the side of the boat. However, he was repeatedly attacked by sharks on the way back. When he finally returned to port, only the head, tail and a spine were left of the big marlin.
Although this is a work with a simple story and a small length, it is rich in meaning. Many teachers use it as a teaching material on heroism education and recommend it to students, making it an enduring bestseller.
Reader comments
The book "The Old Man and the Sea" is such a great book! Grandpa Santiago didn't catch a fish for 84 days in a row, but he didn't give up and finally caught a big fish. When he was fighting the shark, I thought of my grandfather, who was also a very tough man. Although the story of this book is simple, it taught me not to give up easily when encountering difficulties, but to face them bravely like Grandpa Santiago. I want to recommend this book to my good friends, so that everyone can become stronger together!
