"The Old Man and the Sea" created the image of a civilian hero in the history of human literature. Santiago, an old Cuban fisherman, went to sea for eighty-four days and caught nothing, but he did not despair and finally caught a big fish. He fought with the big fish at sea for three days before killing the fish and tying it to the side of the boat. On the way back, the big fish was repeatedly attacked by sharks, and only its spine and tail were left when it returned to port.
Reader comments
I especially like the part where the old man fights with the big fish, it's really exciting! He persisted at sea for so long, and although he only brought back fish bones in the end, I admire his spirit. This book made me believe that as long as you have a dream, you must work hard for it, even if the process is difficult.
