Excellent Extracurricular Reading for Teenagers: the Old Man and the Sea

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.
