Reader comments

This is an experienced fishing veteran. Although his old body makes him constantly think of "it would be nice if there was a boy's help" in difficult situations, he has not given up alone. The old man fought with the big fish for three days. He went through hardships, but he was able to pay attention to the colorful seaweed, the seabirds that came to join him, and the noble fish that dragged him swimming for three days. He was proud that he did not have to kill the moon and the sun... "Although but" is his motto. He can always find vitality in difficult situations and improve his tenacity.

The writing style of the book "The Old Man and the Sea" is concise and powerful, and the writing style is vivid and vivid, which made me feel the unique charm of Hemingway. I was deeply moved by the old fisherman's tenacity and courage in the book. His battle with the sea also reminded me of the various challenges in life. This book made me understand that no matter how difficult we encounter, we must maintain perseverance and face life bravely like the old fisherman.

Can 13 people give a rating? Then I looked at a lot of reviews from more than 50 people, but I didn't see any ratings.
