During World War I he worked as an ambulance driver in France and in the Italian infantry and was wounded severely just before his 19th ter, he became involved with the expatriate literary and artistic circle surrounding Gertrude Stein when he was working in Paris as a correspondent for the Toronto Star, His works during the 1920s are representative of“the Lost Generation”. During the Spanish Civil War and later the Second Word War, Hemingway served as a correspondent on the loyalist side. Then he settled in Cuba in 1945.In 1954, Hemingway was awarded the Nobel Prize of Literature for his “mastery of the art of modern narration”.After his expulsion from Cuba by the Castro regime, he moved to Idaho. He was increasingly plagued by ill health and mental problems, and in July, 1961, he committed suicide by shooting himself.Hemingway’s life is filled with kinds of adventures, and from his rich and colorful life experiences，his life seems like an unusual book which many other people in the world admire and envy.Hemingway's fiction usually focuses on people living essential, dangerous lives, soldiers, fishermen, athletes, bullfighters, who meet the pain and difficulty of their existence with stoic courage.From his works and life experiences, Hemingway is indeed a perfectionist. Many of the heroes that he created in novels are represented his code man spirit---perfectionism, especially in The Old Man and the Sea. The old man named Santiago represented Hemingway’s perfectionism characteristic more vividly than other code man in his works2 The Introduction to the BackgroundHemingway’s life was active and adventurous but full of pains. He lived in the period that the World War One broke out when many young volunteers took part in the war which also called “a war ends all wars”.But the cruel reality made them aware that modern warfare was not as glorious as they thought.Actually the First and the Second World Wars had affected Hemingway a lot, for he had once joined the army and had injured in Italy, so he suffered much which was brought about by the war deeply. He was disappointed with the world at that time and became very pessimistic about the fate of the human beings. As a young writer and spokesman of the “The Lost Generation”, and influenced by the greedy and heedless way of life in America, Hemingway’s works all vividly recorded the life of those physically and mentally wounded soldiers, revealed the frustration, loneli ness when “God is dead”.3 PlotIt is a poetic tragic novel told in language of great simplicity and power. Its hero is an old Cuban fisherman ---Santiago, who is down on his luck, and tries to fight against his fate. In the story Santiago has gone for 84 days without catching a fish. As a result, Mandolin, a little boy, who used to sail with him, is forbidden from fishing with the old man by his parents and forced to catch fish in another “good-lucky” ship.Later despite the boy asks for fishing together again, but the old man insists on fishing alone and at last, he succeeds in hooking a giant marlin which is eighteen-foot, the largest he has ever known before. But the fish is very powerful and disobedient. It tows the old man and his boat for almost 48 hours, the old man could do nothing but bearing the whole weight of the fish through the line on his back. The old man, with little food and sleep, has to bear a lot of pain and at the same time fight against thefish. To his great excitement, he was rewarded for his struggle. On the third day at sea, he finally catches the weakened marlin to the surface and harpoons it.On his way home, he lashed marlin alongside his boat because it is too big to be put in the boat. But, unfortunately, the sharks assaulted the old man and the giant marlin in different directions for four times. The old man fights to kill the sharks with as much strength he can summon, but only to find a giant skeleton of his marlin left after his desperate defense. At last, Santiago, having lost what he fought for, reaches the shore and struggles to his shack. He falls into sound sleep, dreaming of Africa and the lions again.4 Analysis of the heroic charactersIn the novel, the author portrays the image of an old Cuban fisherman who has gone for 84 days with catching nothing.“The old man was thin and gaunt, with deep wrinkles in the back of his neck. The brown blotches of the benevolent skin cancer the sun brings from its reflection on the tropic sea were on his cheeks. The blotches ran well down the sides of his face and his hands had the deep creased scars from handling heavy fish on the cords. But none of the scars were fresh. They were as old as erosions in a fishless desert.” From these words, we may feel sympathetic toward the old man and think that he is too week to catch a big fish. But “Everything about him was old except his eye and they were the same color as the sea and were cheerful and undefeated.” In spite of his old and week appearance, his eyes are not stuffy but as cheerful as the young men’s eyes through which we can see his unyielding spirit. This contrast clearly shows Santiago’s real personality.84 days is a long period of time. A man can tolerate failure, but can’t tolerate continuous failure. Too much failure will destroy a man even with strong will. But for Santiago, although a poverty-stricken and lonely old man, nothing can defeat his will. He firmly insists that he will not always be unfortunate.He says, “I may not be as strong as I think.”, “But I know many tricks and I have resolutions.” The old man is very confident and has the strong believe that he will finally catch a big fish. What gives him such confidence under the difficult and cruel reality? Through the man, the author points out---even though life is very hard and seems hopeless, “But who knows? Every day is a new day.” He has the hope for the future and the unyielding spirit to challenge his fate.With Santiago’s exceeding self-confidence, he gets ride of his bad fortune and catches the fish which is longer than his skiff. But the Marline is very disobedient and strong. The old man “swing with each arm alternately on the cord with all the strengthof his arm and the pivoted weight of his body.” But “nothing happened. The fish just moves away slowly and the old man could not raise him an inch.” One side is a very old man, and the other side is the big strong Marline. Neither side is going to yield. In some way, the Marlin is a remarkable and respectable fish. It tows the skiff behind him out to the sea for 48 hours. “The contest is to see who can endure longer than the other.”“The fish made a struggle that pulled him down on his face and made a cut below his eye. The blood ran down his cheek a little way. But is coagulated and dried before it reached his chin and he worked his way back to the how and rested against the wood.” At the moment, if Santiago cut the line and let the fish go, he can get ride of the danger, but if he do so, it means that he is a loser. Santiago doesn’t choose this way; he tries to think nothing but only to endure. When he is thirsty, he takes some water; when he is sleepy, he lies forward cramming himself against the line with all of his body, putting all his weight onto his right hand. Even his left hand cramps and his right hand is cut by the line, he just tries his best to endure. On the third day at sea, he finally catches the weakened marlin to the surface and harpoons it. But on the returning voyage, the old man meets a more terrible disaster. The Marline’s blood draws the shark group in different directions for four times. Although he knows that there is little hope for him to win after his long fighting with the Marline, but he knows that he should face the sharks and kill them as a man to protect his fish. The author uses much ink to portray the sharks which aims to describe the old man’s spirit. The harder the fish and the sharks are to defeat, the taller the old man’s image is.5 Writing Style and TechniquesHemingway’s works have unique artistic style. He is distinguished from other writers in choosing characters and subjects. The leading roles in his novels are men. Through a series of description, he shows the readers the unique world of men. Most of these men are matador, pugilist, and hunter and so on. By portraying the battles in which these men fight with nature, society and, Hemingway want to extol their unyielding struggle spirit. The very virtues of Hemingway’s style are his insistence on simplicity, his pure male writing style, and his manipulation of language. Some critics call it “cinematic prose”. This style has close relationship with his long career as a reporter. As he said in response to a newsman:“You have to learn to write some simple statement sentences. It is useful to everybody.”Hemingway can also control language completely. As Ford said:“Every word islike fresh stone from the stream. They are living and shining and each has its own position. So his language can achieve this effect: seeing the bottom of water clearly, the words ranking one after another orderly. Overall, it is like a chessboard. ”All in all, Hemingway’s language in The Old Man and the Sea is simple and natural on the surface, but actually deliberate and artificial. The forming of this distinct style is related to Hemingway’s ow n experience. And the influence of this style is not only within America but also all over the world. The facts in the novel are selected and used as a device to make the fictional world accepted. Unlike other novelists who add allegorical meanings to their facts, Hemingway uses the facts simply and naturally, without any emotion. In the latter part of the novel, instead of being narrated by the author, the facts are used from inside Santiago’s own consciousness, and form part of a whole scheme of the novel. Besides what have been mentioned above, other techniques in The Old Man and the Sea, such as realism, monologue, the creation of suspense and so on, are also very successful. All these show Hemingway’s superb artistic attainments as a Nobel Prize winner.6 ConclusionThe Old Man and the Sea is one of Hemingway’s most enduring works and may very well become one of the true classics of his generation. In the novel, Hemingway creates an image of heroic character who actually reflects the author’s own life attitude. That is, to fight through the failure is inevitable and to show dignity and grace under poverty and pressure. From the novel, we know that the knowledge that a simple man is capable of the decency, dignity, and even heroism that Santiago possesses and that his battle can been seen in heroic terms is itself perhaps the greatest victory that Hemingway won. We can also get a lot of inspirations from the hero--- Santiago. Actually the winner takes nothing but the sense of having fought the fight to the limits of his strength，or of having shown what a man can do when it is necessary. Winner is undefeated only because he has gone on trying.Besides we can learn a lot from Santiago’s famous saying. For example, after he kills the first shark, he says, “Man is not made defeated.”“A man can be destroyed but not defeated.” His words not only prove his character: endurance, persistence and undefeated spirit, but also express the novel’ theme.Life is a kind of endless pursuit. It is a long, difficult road and full of ups anddowns but as long as we are brave enough to meet the challenges with self-confidence, we will always be a real winner. We should not only appreciate the heroic character, but also try to be a man like Santiago. In the present society, everyone may meet failure, from the study or from the work. What we learn from the heroic character can help us conduct ourselves well when bad luck is coming.。

《老人与海》英文作文通用一篇《老人与海》英文作文 1Read the “old man and the sea", I was optimistic about the hero, brave and persistent "tough guy" image attracted deeply.The hero Santiago is a "bad luck" for the elderly, for 84 consecutive days did not catch fish, the sea for eighty-fifth days, after two days and nights of fighting, finally captured the big marlin a more than 1500 pound. However, the weather is unpredictable, on the voyage home, repeatedly attacked by a shark, the old man and the shark put up a good fight, the big marlin was eaten by a shark, a fish skeleton old man finally dragged home only a bare. During this time, the old man, with extraordinary courage and amazing perseverance, endured the unbearable loneliness, hunger, fatigue, and pain, which surpassed the limits of man again and again. But we do not see a drop of loser's tears, but clearly see the failure of the strong smile, he is a tough guy, is a hero who has failed.This is a lonely journey, a man rowing a boat slowly towards the sea, was dragging a big fish without direction in the diffuse, plex ocean currents that floated around, frighteningdisorientation, like a person in the night in the forest to find a way out, only the elderly and self dialogue, and dialogue and fish. The sea of dialogue.Man and the sea, with a strong force to fight nature, and we are just facing some learning and life setbacks, pared with the old fisherman, really just pale into insignificance by parison. His hands were covered with calluses, the skin has also been glaring sun spots, broken fishing boats that can not resist what the rain storm, his old house that is out of the rain that. But he did not give up hope for life. He chatted with the little boy about baseball, went to pubs, drank and talked, and went fishing every morning in front of the first rays of sunshine. Whether he has harvested or not, he will insist on fishing, not just because he has to rely on fishing for a living, but fishing has e a part of his life, a memory of him. The last fishing, he caught a big fish, but on the way back to Hong Kong, he hit a shark attack, he resolutely picked up the harpoon to defend the fruits of their hard work. Although the last big fish was eaten by sharks, only white skeletons were left. But the old fisherman's spirit of failure, though he failed at last, was the kind of behavior he was brave to give, but we should study it.Think back to the text of the old man's words: "people arenot born for failure, a person can be destroyed, but not defeated," the wrong way out of the main body of this article? Man is a strange animal. Why does he have the courage to face death without the courage to face failure? Is defeat really so terrible? There is a bloody wind in the cold sea breeze. Maybe these are the real fears!Life is an endless pursuit, finally caught a full marlin, or the Marlins in an empty skeleton, it does not matter, because the value of a person's life, has been in the process of chasing Marlin fully embodies. Is it true that the old man who has tried his best to live his life and pursue and strive for his ideal is not a real winner? Such a life should be no regrets.I think this book is worth to read, and it is very interesting.。

我最喜欢的书是《老人与海》英文作文80词全文共6篇示例，供读者参考篇1My Favorite Book: "The Old Man and the Sea"One of my all-time favorite books is "The Old Man and the Sea" by Ernest Hemingway. This classic novella, published in 1951, tells the story of an old Cuban fisherman named Santiago who struggles with a fierce maritime battle to catch a massive marlin. Through his grueling struggle against nature, the novella explores powerful themes of resilience, perseverance, and the indomitable human spirit.What initially drew me to this book was Hemingway's crisp, straightforward writing style. His lean prose is incredibly descriptive yet also quite poetic and lyrical. Despite the book's relatively short length, Hemingway paints such vivid pictures with his carefully chosen words. I can vividly picture the blazing Cuban sun, the crystal blue waters, and Santiago'sweather-beaten features. Hemingway doesn't rely on excessive embellishment – instead, his writing has an almost understated elegance that makes the story that much more powerful.At its core, "The Old Man and the Sea" is a riveting tale of a man's struggle against the relentless force of nature. For 84 days, the down-on-his-luck Santiago has been unable to catch a single fish. Finally, he sails out alone in his skiff and hooks a colossal marlin in the deep waters of the Gulf Stream. What follows is a titanic three-day battle of skill, willpower, and endurance between Santiago and the tremendous fish. Despite his age, the old man refuses to surrender, even as the marlin viciously drags his skiff for miles and his body becomes battered and bloodied from the intense struggle.It's a true underdog story that had me rooting for Santiago from the very start. Despite the tremendous odds stacked against him, the old man's determination and experience allow him to finally subdue the mighty marlin. However, his trials are far from over as he must then defend his hard-won catch from opportunistic sharks during the long voyage home. By the time he reaches the shores of his village, the marlin has been stripped to just a skeleton, a testament to the old man's sheer grit and tenacity.What I find so compelling about Santiago is how he handles both triumph and tragedy with grace and humility. Even after enduring such an arduous ordeal, he shows no bitterness orself-pity. Rather, he feels a strange sense of renewed respect and admiration for his worthy adversary, the marlin. To me, Santiago personifies human strength, resilience, and an inextinguishable life force in the face of overwhelming challenge.At the same time, the novella can be interpreted as an allegory about man's place in the universe and our constant struggle against nature's indifferent power. Despite Santiago's almost superhuman efforts, nature ultimately reduces theonce-mighty marlin to bare bones. It's a stark reminder that as mortals, we can never fully conquer or tame the unconquerable forces of the natural world. All we can do is persevere and endure with as much dignity as possible.On another level, "The Old Man and the Sea" serves as a meditation on older age and male pride. Through Santiago, we witness the quiet nobility of growing old with self-respect and maintaining one's skills even as strength wanes. His battle is as much an internal one as an external contest against the fish –he's fighting to prove his worth to himself and reclaim his identity as a proud fisherman. By the end, he's able to return to the village with his head held high, even though he technically returns empty-handed.Hemingway's tale packs a powerful emotional punch that has cemented its place as a true classic of American literature. What makes it so special is how it resonates on multiple levels –as a gripping high-seas adventure, an inspiring heroic fable, a poetic evocation of nature's grandeur, and a profound philosophical statement about the human condition. With its deceptively simple language, memorable imagery, and evergreen themes, "The Old Man and the Sea" continues to cast a lasting spell upon readers of all ages with each revisiting. For me, it will always remain one of the most moving and unforgettable books I've ever read.篇2My Favorite Book: The Old Man and the SeaThe Old Man and the Sea by Ernest Hemingway is a beautiful and profound novel that has captivated me since I first read it in high school. It's a simple story on the surface, but it delves deep into themes of perseverance, human dignity, and our connection with nature. Every time I revisit this book, I find new layers of meaning and symbolism that enrich my understanding and appreciation for Hemingway's literary genius.The novel centers around Santiago, an aging Cuban fisherman who has gone 84 days without catching a fish. Despite his struggles, he remains unwavering in his determination and dignity, embodying a spirit of resilience that resonates profoundly with me. Hemingway's sparse yet powerful prose vividly captures the harsh realities of Santiago's existence, from the scorching sun that beats down on his small skiff to the aching muscles and weathered hands that bear the scars of a lifetime at sea.Yet, even in the face of seemingly insurmountable adversity, Santiago refuses to surrender or compromise his values. He approaches his craft with a reverence and respect that is deeply admirable, treating the sea and its creatures as worthy adversaries rather than mere resources to be exploited. This respect for nature and the natural order of things is a recurring motif throughout the novel, reminding us of our interconnectedness with the world around us.As Santiago ventures far out into the Gulf Stream, he hooks a massive marlin that becomes the ultimate test of his endurance and fortitude. The ensuing battle between man and beast is a gripping and visceral experience, as Hemingway's vivid descriptions transport the reader into the heart of the struggle.We feel Santiago's every ache and pain, his calloused hands gripping the line with unwavering determination, his mind wrestling with the doubts and fears that threaten to overwhelm him.But through it all, Santiago remains steadfast, his indomitable spirit a testament to the inextinguishable flame of human resilience. Even when circumstances conspire against him and he returns home with only the battered remains of hishard-won prize, he maintains his dignity and refuses to be defeated. In Santiago, we see a hero who embodies the very essence of what it means to endure, to persevere, and to confront life's challenges with unwavering courage and grace.Hemingway's masterful use of symbolism and metaphor elevates The Old Man and the Sea from a simple tale of fishing into a profound exploration of the human condition. The marlin itself represents the formidable obstacles we all must face in life, the dreams and ambitions that seem just out of reach, demanding every ounce of our strength and determination to conquer. The sea, with its vast expanse and unfathomable depths, becomes a metaphor for the mysteries of existence, the unknowable forces that shape our lives and challenge us to embrace the unknown.Throughout the novel, Hemingway weaves in references to religious and mythological figures, further enriching the symbolic tapestry. Santiago's struggle is likened to that of Christ carrying the cross, imbuing his suffering with a sense of nobility and spiritual significance. The marlin, in turn, takes on almost mythical proportions, becoming a symbol of the grandeur and majesty of nature, a force to be reckoned with and respected.Ultimately, The Old Man and the Sea is a testament to the indomitable human spirit, a celebration of our capacity to endure and triumph over even the most daunting challenges. It is a book that has profoundly influenced my own outlook on life, reminding me to approach each obstacle with courage, dignity, and an unwavering commitment to persevere.As I continue to navigate the twists and turns of my own journey, I find myself returning time and again to the lessons and insights contained within Hemingway's masterpiece. In Santiago, I see a kindred spirit, a fellow traveler on the road of life, whose example inspires me to face adversity with resilience and to embrace the struggles that ultimately define and shape us.The Old Man and the Sea is more than just a novel; it is a timeless exploration of the human experience, a parable of perseverance and dignity that transcends boundaries of cultureand time. It is a book that has left an indelible mark on my life, and I know that its wisdom and insight will continue to guide me for years to come.篇3My favorite book is "The Old Man and the Sea" by Ernest Hemingway. This novella tells the story of an old Cuban fisherman who struggles to catch a giant marlin far out at sea. I admire the old man's determination, perseverance, and respect for nature despite his hardships. Hemingway's simple yet powerful prose makes this a captivating tale of human resilience against overwhelming odds. The book reminds me that with courage and dignity, we can overcome life's greatest challenges.篇4My Favorite Book: The Old Man and the Sea by Ernest HemingwayThe Old Man and the Sea by Ernest Hemingway is myall-time favorite book. I first read it in 10th grade English class, and I've re-read it several times since. On the surface, it's a relatively simple story about an old Cuban fisherman who goes out too far, hooks a massive marlin, and has an intense struggleto get his hard-earned catch back to shore. However, there are so many deeper layers of meaning that make this novella incredibly profound and compelling.I'm drawn to the book's exploration of universal themes like courage, perseverance, respect for nature, and the nobility of struggle itself. The old man, Santiago, embodies quiet dignity and an indomitable spirit against impossible odds. He hasn't caught a fish in 84 days, is impoverished, and considered "salao" - the worst form of unlucky. Yet he heads out alone in his skiff with a tattered sail, showing his unwavering resilience and humble acceptance of his lot in life.When the gigantic marlin finally does take his bait far out in the Gulf Stream, Santiago shows remarkable skill, strength and stamina to land it after days of being towed by the fish. He considers it a "worthy" opponent deserving of respect. Their epic battle is portrayed with vivid, visceral details that put you right there in the fishing boat. You feel Santiago's physical and mental exhaustion, as well as his awe at the marlin's power, intelligence and longevity having survived for so long in the pitiless sea.In some ways, the old man reminds me of the marlin - experienced, noble, and vastly underestimated just because of their aged exteriors. Both warrior-like figures face extremechallenges head on with no complaints. This depiction of human endurance in the face of futility is very inspirational to me. Even after losing his prized catch to rapacious sharks, Santiago makes it home beaten but unbroken. He remains confident in his abilities: "A man can be destroyed but not defeated."Beyond the gripping action, I'm fascinated by the rich use of symbolism and metaphor that elevates this simple fable. The sea represents both the cruelties and regenerative life forces of nature. Santiago's struggle mirrors the inner battle all people face against insurmountable odds, feelings of worthlessness after failure, and eventually, with mortality itself. Yet there is also an Edenic quality - Santiago's humble home is an island paradise, and his existence aligns harmoniously with nature's rhythms.The writing itself is spare yet stunningly poetic. Hemingway strips away embellishments to arrive at truths through simple, declarative prose. Like an impressionist painting, his judicious word choices create vivid mental images full of subtext. Memorable lines like "Everything about him was old except his eyes and they were the same color as the sea and were cheerful and undefeated" conjure so much with so little. This deceptively simple style is hard to master and a huge influence on my own writing.On a personal level, I admire how this book celebrates human qualities like respect, humility, perseverance, and acceptance. Santiago maintains grace and reverence for all of nature's marvels, even when confronted with its harshest ravages. He appreciates the marlin as "his brother" and the hawks that pluck man's hard-won sustenance as "bright-winged, intrepid, the bandit sharks' calamity." His humble home is sacred and nourishes his soul.In today's hyper-consumptive culture of instant gratification and conveniences, we've lost the fortitude of past generations forced to struggle for basic subsistence. The Old Man and the Sea reminds me to appreciate the fruits of hard-earned labor, take nothing for granted, and maintain perspective when facing setbacks. Like the eternal cycle of nature and regeneration Santiago witnesses at sea, this resilience keeps the human spirit afloat when confronting failures or tragedies in my own life.Ultimately, this book inspires me to live with the same integrity, respect for all living things, humility, perseverance against long odds, and acceptance of my humble place in nature's grand scheme. In highlighting the eternal nobility and resilience of the human spirit, this perfect little novel has becomemy most cherished companion. I know I'll keep returning to its transcendent wisdom for the rest of my days.篇5My favorite book is "The Old Man and the Sea" by Ernest Hemingway. It's a captivating tale of an old fisherman's epic struggle against a giant marlin in the Gulf Stream. Despite his age, Santiago shows remarkable determination, courage and respect for nature. Hemingway's vivid descriptions transport you right onto the old man's skiff. The book celebrates human perseverance and the beauty of the natural world. Its simple yet profound storytelling has made it an enduring classic.篇6My favorite book is "The Old Man and the Sea" by Ernest Hemingway.

下面是小编给大家带来《老人与海》英文简介，希望对大家有帮助！《老人与海》英文简介篇1Santiago, an old, weathered fisherman has just gone 84 days without catching a fish. On the 85th day, he is determined to catch a big, impressive fish.For years, Santiago, living in a small fishing village in Cuba, has been fishing with a young boy named Manolin. Manolin started fishing with the old man when he was only 5 years old. Santiago is like Manolin's second father, and has taught the young boy everything about fishing. Manolin's parents, however, force the boy to leave Santiago and fish on a more lucrative fishing boat.He feels the 85th day will be lucky for him. He sets out on his old, rickety skiff. Alone on the water, Santiago sets up his fishing lines with the utmost precision, a skill that other fisherman lack. Finally, a huge Marlin has found Santiago's bait and this sets off a very long struggle between the two. The Marlin is so huge that it drags Santiago beyond all other boats and people . His hands become badly cramped and he is cut and bruised from the force of the fish.Santiago and the Marlin become united out at sea. They are attached to each other physically, and in Santiago's case, emotionally. He sees the fish as his brother. Despite this, Santiago has to kill it. He feels guilty killing a brother, but after an intense struggle in which the fish drags the skiff around in circles, Santiago harpoons the very large fish and hangs it on the side ofhis boat.For a while , a pack of sharks detects the blood in the water and follow the trail to Santiago's skiff. Santiago has to fend off each shark that goes after his prized catch. Each shark takes a huge bite out of the Marlin, but the old man fends them off, himself now bruised, but alive. He sails back to shore with the carcass of his Marlin. He is barely able to walk and slowly staggers back to his hut, where he falls into bed.The next morning, the boy cries when he looks at Santiago's bruised hands. He said that he would vows to fish with Santiago again.《老人与海》英文简介篇2The boy loved the old fisherman and pitied him. If Manolin had no money of his own, he begged or stole to make sure that Santiago had enough to eat and fresh baits for his lines. The old man accepted his kindness with humility that was like a quiet kind of pride. Over their evening meals of rice or black beans they would talk about the fish they had taken in luckier times or about American baseball and the great DiMaggio. At night, alone in his shack, Santiago dreamed of lions on the beaches of Africa, where he had gone on a sailing ship years before. He no longer dreamed of his dead wife.On the eighty-fifth day Santiago rowed out of the harbor in the cool dark before dawn. After leaving the smell of land behind him, he set his lines. Two of his baits were fresh tunas the boy had given him, as well as sardines to cover his hooks. The lines went straight down into deep dark water.As the sun rose he saw other boats in toward shore, which was only a low green line on the sea. A hovering man-of-war bird showed him where dolphin were chasing some flying fish, but theschool was moving too fast and too far away. The bird circled again. This time Santiago saw tuna leaping in the sunlight. A small one took the hook on his stern line. Hauling the quivering fish aboard, the old man thought it a good omen.孩子喜欢并且可怜这个老渔人。

介绍老人与海英语作文高一80词全文共6篇示例，供读者参考篇1The Old Man and the Sea - A Timeless Tale of PerseveranceHey guys! Today I want to tell you about this really cool book I just read called "The Old Man and the Sea" by Ernest Hemingway. It's a pretty short novel, but it's so deep and meaningful. I had to read it for my English class, but I ended up loving it!The story is about this old Cuban fisherman named Santiago who hasn't caught a fish in like 84 days. Can you imagine going that long without catching anything? I'd go crazy! But Santiago is super patient and keeps going out on his little skiff every day, all by himself, to try his luck.Well, one day he finally hooks this massive marlin – we're talking a fish that's longer than his boat! Santiago gets really excited, but then he realizes he's in for the fight of his life to reel this thing in. The marlin just keeps swimming away, dragging Santiago's skiff along for miles and miles into the ocean.For two whole days, Santiago doesn't give up. He's all alone, getting super tired and cut up from the fishing line, but he refuses to let go of that marlin. It's like a crazy tug-of-war battle that goes on forever. I was reading it thinking "there's no way this old guy can actually catch that monster fish!" But Santiago is determined and he never loses hope.Finally, after an epic struggle, Santiago manages to kill the marlin and lashes it to the side of his skiff to head back to shore. But that's when the real troubles begin! Sharks start showing up, attracted by the marlin's blood in the water. Santiago tries fending them off with a harpoon and bat, but they keep coming in for the kill, ripping chunks out of his hard-earned catch.By the time Santiago makes it back to the harbor, there's barely anything left of the marlin except a stripped carcass. It's so sad after all that work, but the villagers are amazed that the old man could even bring back that much after his battle at sea. They see the demolished marlin as a sign of Santiago's strength and unbreakable spirit.To me, the biggest message of the book is about perseverance and never giving up, no matter how hopeless things seem. Santiago could have quit a million times during his struggle with the marlin and no one would have blamed him. Buthe kept pushing onward with courage and resolve. That's what made his story so inspiring to read.Even though Santiago came home basically empty-handed after his epic journey, he viewed the experience as a victory. He proved that he still had the strength and determination to take on the challenges of nature and life head-on, despite his old age. It's a powerful reminder to all of us that we should never underestimate our own abilities and give up on our ambitions just because the path gets difficult.I don't want to give away too many more details and ruin the whole book for you. But trust me, "The Old Man and the Sea" is a classic for good reason. The writing is beautiful and descriptive, putting you right there on the ocean with Santiago feeling every jolt of the line and crash of the waves. And the themes about resilience in the face of adversity are so meaningful and uplifting.I seriously recommend reading this novella, even though it might seem boring at first since it's so short and old. But it packs such a profound, inspirational message into so few pages. After devouring this story in just a couple sittings, I have a newfound appreciation for the strength of the human spirit and what we're capable of if we just persist and never abandon our dreams.The Old Man and the Sea is one of those novels that will really stick with you long after finishing it. Whenever I feel like throwing in the towel on a tough assignment or challenge, I think of Santiago strapped to that fishing line for days on end, refusing to let go no matter how exhausted he became. If an old man like that could篇2The Old Man and the Sea - An Epic Tale of PerseveranceHey guys! I just finished reading this really cool book called "The Old Man and the Sea" by Ernest Hemingway, and I have to tell you all about it! It's a book that my English teacher recommended, and at first, I was a bit hesitant because it's a classic and all, but let me tell you, it turned out to be an absolute page-turner!The story revolves around this old Cuban fisherman named Santiago, who hasn't caught a single fish for 84 days straight. Can you imagine going that long without any luck? I'd probably have given up after the first week or so! But not Santiago – he's as tough as nails and refuses to let his bad luck get him down.One day, Santiago decides to venture out into the Gulf Stream, way farther than any of the other fishermen would dareto go. And it's a good thing he did because that's when the real adventure begins! After battling for days with an enormous marlin, Santiago finally manages to catch the massive fish and lashes it to the side of his skiff (that's a small boat, in case you didn't know).But the troubles don't end there! As Santiago starts his journey back to shore, sharks begin to circle his boat, attracted by the scent of the marlin's blood. Now, this is where things get really intense! Santiago has to fight off these relentless sharks with nothing but a harpoon and his bare hands. It's like something straight out of an action movie, I swear!Even though Santiago loses the battle against the sharks, and the marlin is reduced to nothing but a skeleton by the time he reaches the shore, the story isn't really about the fish itself. It's about the old man's unwavering spirit, his determination, and his ability to endure against all odds.I gotta admit, at first, I thought Santiago was a bit crazy for putting himself through all that trouble for just one fish. But as I read on, I realized that the marlin represented so much more – it was a symbol of his lifelong struggle against nature, his fight against the inevitable forces of aging and the relentless march of time.One of the things that really struck me about the book was Hemingway's writing style. It's so simple and straightforward, yet it packs such a powerful punch. He doesn't use fancy words or convoluted sentences; instead, he lets the raw emotions and the vivid imagery do the talking. It's like he's painting a picture with words, and you can almost feel the salty sea air and hear the creaking of Santiago's boat as you read.Another thing that really resonated with me was the idea of resilience and perseverance. Santiago faces so many obstacles and setbacks, but he never gives up. He just keeps pushing forward, no matter how bleak things seem. And in the end, even though he doesn't achieve his ultimate goal of bringing back the marlin, he still earns the respect and admiration of the entire village for his courage and determination.I think that's a really important lesson for all of us, especially us teenagers who are just starting to figure out our place in the world. Life isn't always going to be easy, and we're going to face our fair share of challenges and disappointments. But if we can learn to keep going, to never give up, and to face our struggles head-on like Santiago did, then we'll be able to overcome anything that comes our way.So, if you haven't read "The Old Man and the Sea" yet, I highly recommend that you do! It's a relatively short book, but it packs a powerful punch and will leave you thinking about it long after you've finished reading. And who knows, maybe it'll even inspire you to take on your own epic battles against the forces of nature (or just against that Math homework that's been giving you trouble – same difference, really).Anyway, that's my two cents on this classic novel. I hope I've piqued your interest and that you'll give it a read soon. Happy reading, my friends!篇3The Old Man and the Sea - An Epic Tale of DeterminationHave you ever felt like you were battling against impossible odds, but you just couldn't give up? That's exactly what the old man in Ernest Hemingway's novel "The Old Man and the Sea" goes through. It's an amazing story that really inspired me!The novel takes place in a small fishing village in Cuba, where an old fisherman named Santiago has gone 84 days without catching a single fish. All the younger fishermen make fun of the unlucky "salao" and his bad luck streak. But Santiagodoesn't let it get him down. He's determined to sail out further than any of the other boats to try his luck.On the 85th day, Santiago rows out alone in his tiny skiff, sailing farther out into the Gulf Stream than any fisherman has gone before. Finally, he gets a bite on his line and finds himself in an epic struggle with a massive marlin that is bigger than his whole boat! For three nail-biting days, the old man battles the giant fish, getting worn down but never giving up hope.When he finally manages to kill the marlin with his harpoon, Santiago is overjoyed, lashing it to the side of his skiff to head home and prove all the doubters wrong. But his troubles are far from over! As he sails back towards shore, sharks are attracted by the marlin's blood and begin violently attacking the catch, thrashing in the water around the boat.One by one, the sharks viciously tear off huge chunks of Santiago's hard-won marlin, leaving a trail of blood and devastation. The old man uses every weapon in his arsenal - bat, knife, tiller - to fend off the attacks, getting injured himself but never surrendering. By the time he finally makes it ashore, the sharks have devoured the entire marlin, leaving just a stripped carcass on the boat.Despite the loss of his prize catch, Santiago is greeted as a hero on the beach by the village that once mocked him. His fantastic perseverance and courage in battling the marlin and sharks amazed everyone who sees his battered, half-dead state. The old man collapses on his bed, dreaming about lions on the beach, finally at peace.To me, "The Old Man and the Sea" is way more than just a story about an old guy catching a fish. It's an epic tale about the importance of perseverance and not giving up in the face of immense struggle and setbacks. Even when Santiago was utterly exhausted and wounded from his battle at sea, he never stopped fighting for his prize. His unwavering determination and dignity in defeat teach an incredibly valuable life lesson.I was totally inspired by Santiago's resilience! The challenges he overcame were just mind-blowing. Even after the sharks ruined his life's work by destroying the marlin, he held his head high because he gave it his all and defined his self-worth through the effort he put in rather than the results. The book made me think deeply about developing the strength of character to persevere through whatever difficulties life throws my way.Overall, I absolutely loved "The Old Man and the Sea" and can't recommend it enough! Hemingway paints such a vivid, poetic portrait of Santiago's heroic struggle with gorgeous descriptions of the ocean and marine life. Even though it's pretty short for a novel at just over 100 pages, its impactful themes and symbolism give you so much to ponder long after finishing it. This book is totally a timeless classic that I'm sure will stick with me for the rest of my life!篇4The Old Man and the Sea - A True Fishing AdventureHey there, guys!

老人与海叙述英语范文The Story of an Old Man and the Sea.In the heart of the Gulf Stream, where the waters are deep and the fish are plentiful, lived an old man who had gone eighty-four days without catching a single fish. His name was Santiago, and he was a Cuban fisherman, tough and resilient, with eyes that were as blue as the sea and hands that were corrugated with years of hard labor.Each day, he would row out onto the open waters, alone in his small skiff, with only the loyal companionship of a boy named Manolin. Together, they had fished these waters for many years, but lately, the luck had turned against them. The other fishermen mocked Santiago, calling him "the failure" and mocking his dwindling catch. But Santiago refused to give up. He knew that deep within the vastness of the ocean, there was a fish waiting for him, a fish that would test his strength and his will.On the eighty-fifth day, Santiago set out again, determined to find his quarry. The sun rose high in the sky, and the heat was intense, but he persevered, rowingsteadily into the open sea. Finally, he felt the linetighten in his hands, and he knew that the wait was over. The fish was big and strong, and it pulled against the line, testing Santiago's strength.For hours, the battle raged. The fish lunged and dived, trying to break free, but Santiago held fast, using all his might to keep the line taut. His hands bled from the friction, but he ignored the pain, focused only on the task at hand. Finally, after a long and exhausting struggle, the fish tired, and Santiago was able to pull it up into his skiff.It was a marlin, a beautiful fish with silvery scales and powerful fins. Santiago was elated, knowing that this catch would finally restore his reputation and provide for his and Manolin's future. But the joy was short-lived. Ashe was returning to shore, a shark attacked the marlin, tearing into its flesh. Santiago fought valiantly, using aharpoon and even a knife to defend his catch, but the shark was relentless.By the time he reached the shore, the marlin was a mere shadow of its former self, the flesh torn and tattered by the shark's attacks. Santiago was exhausted and defeated, knowing that all his efforts had been for nothing. The other fishermen mocked him again, saying that he had brought back only a fish skeleton.But Santiago smiled calmly. He knew that he had fought bravely, that he had given everything he had. And even though he had lost the fish, he had found something else: the strength of his own spirit, the knowledge that he could face any challenge that came his way.That night, Santiago and Manolin shared a meal of the marlin's remains, and Santiago told the boy of his battle with the fish and the shark. He did not speak of defeat, but of the joy of the fight, of the brotherhood he had found with the fish, and the pride he took in his own perseverance.And so, the story of the old man and the sea ends, but the lesson it teaches lives on. Santiago's story is a reminder that success is not measured by the size of the catch, but by the courage and determination with which we face the challenges of life. In the end, it is not the fish we catch, but the fish we become.。

我最喜欢的一本书老人与海英语作文全文共5篇示例，供读者参考篇1My Favorite Book: The Old Man and the SeaOne of my most favorite books ever is The Old Man and the Sea by Ernest Hemingway. It's such a cool story about this really old fisherman named Santiago who hasn't caught any fish for like 84 days! Can you imagine going that long without catching a single fish? I probably would have given up way before then. But Santiago never lost hope.The book takes place in Cuba, which is this island country near Florida. Santiago is a kind old man who is really poor and unlucky when it comes to fishing lately. None of the other fishermen want to go out with him anymore because they think he's bad luck or something. He only has one friend left, which is this little boy named Manolin who used to go out on Santiago's fishing boat every day until his parents made him start going out with a more successful fisherman instead.But Manolin still looks up to Santiago and really cares about him. He helps carry home Santiago's empty fishing supplies andprepares food for him. I thought that was so nice of Manolin to stay friends with Santiago even though he couldn't fish with him anymore. It shows what a good kid Manolin is.Anyway, one day Santiago decides he's going to sail out further from the shore than he ever has before to try to break his bad luck streak. And you'll never believe what happens - he finally hooks an enormous marlin! A marlin is this giant fish that looks kind of like a swordfish. Santiago had been fishing his whole life and had never seen one that huge before.The marlin is so strong that it actually starts dragging Santiago's little fishing boat out to sea. Can you imagine a fish being strong enough to pull an entire boat?! That's how big this thing was. Santiago holds on as hard as he can, but the marlin keeps swimming further and further away from land for two whole days and nights. Santiago is all alone in the ocean that whole time just trying not to lose the fish.Finally, on the third day, the marlin gets tired out enough for Santiago to kill it with a harpoon and lash it to the side of his boat. But that's just the start of Santiago's troubles! Sharks start attacking the marlin's body tied to the boat as he tries to make his way back to shore. He has to fight off sharks for another two days and nights to keep them from taking his catch.By the time he finally makes it back, the sharks had eaten everything but the marlin's skeletal remains. You could tell Santiago was exhausted but I was so proud of him for never giving up on that fish even when it seemed impossible. When the other fishermen see the marlin's giant skeleton, they are in shock and have a ton of respect for Santiago after making fun of him for so long.I loved this book because it showed that if you work really hard and never give up on your goals, you can accomplish amazing things, even if people tell you you can't. Santiago was all alone for days fighting that marlin and then the sharks, but he did it through his courage and commitment. He's like a real-life superhero in my eyes!The story also teaches you that you shouldn't make fun of people for being unlucky or going through a rough time, because you never know when their luck could change. The other fishermen looked down on Santiago for not catching anything recently, but then he caught the marlin of a lifetime. It made them feel pretty bad about making fun of the old man. You should treat people with kindness no matter what.Another cool thing about the book is how it describes nature and the ocean in a very poetic way. I felt like I could really pictureSantiago out there alone on the sea. Hemingway writes about the different ocean currents, the colors of the water, the stars at night, and all the sea creatures Santiago sees in such vivid detail. It's like it puts you right there on the boat experiencing everything he went through.The ending was pretty sad when Santiago makes it back to his hut alone and goes to sleep feeling defeated even though he accomplished something incredible. But the last line gives me hope that he'll go out and have another amazing adventure. It says "He was still sleeping on the bob-tailed nubs of the sterns and the high sun was whitening the broken concrete of the terrace" which to me means a new day is starting so Santiago can go after another big dream.Overall, The Old Man and the Sea is an awesome book that inspires you to work as hard as you can to make your dreams come true like Santiago did. I love how it shows the beauty of nature and has a main character who never gives up no matter what challenges come his way. If you haven't read it yet, you definitely should! It's now one of my favorites of all time.篇2My Favorite Book: The Old Man and the SeaHi friends! Today I want to tell you about my absolute favorite book ever - The Old Man and the Sea by Ernest Hemingway. It's a really cool story about an old fisherman named Santiago who goes out to sea all by himself to try and catch a big fish. I loved reading this book so much!The story starts off with Santiago being really unlucky. He hasn't caught any fish for 84 days which is like forever for a fisherman! All the young boys in his village make fun of him for being such a terrible fisherman lately. But Santiago doesn't give up. He's determined to catch a huge fish and prove everyone wrong.So one day, Santiago sails his little skiff way out into the Gulf Stream all alone. He puts his fishing lines out and waits and waits. Suddenly, he feels a huge tug on one of the lines! It's the biggest fish he's ever seen - a gigantic marlin! The marlin is so strong that it starts pulling Santiago's little boat further and further out to sea.Santiago has to hold on really tight and fight the marlin for two whole days and nights. His hands get cut up and bleed from the fishing line. But he never gives up! Finally, after an epic battle, Santiago gets the marlin close enough to harpoon it. He ties themarlin to the side of his boat and starts sailing back to shore, feeling like the luckiest fisherman ever.But Santiago's problems are just starting! On his way home, terrifying sharks start attacking the marlin tied to his boat. Santiago uses everything he has - harpoons, knives, clubbing oars - to try and fight off the sharks. But the sharks are vicious and keep coming back for more marlin meat. By the time the old man makes it back to shore, the sharks have eaten the entire marlin except for a stripped carcass.Even though Santiago doesn't have the giant marlin to show for his struggle, he feels proud that he battled the fish and sharks with all his strength and perseverance. The villagers are amazed by his bravery and skill when they see the marlin's skeleton lashed to his boat. They finally respect the old man again as a true fisherman.I just loved this story so much! Santiago was such a humble and determined character. He never gave up or felt sorry for himself, even when things looked hopeless. His fight with the marlin and sharks showed his incredible courage, skill and resilience. To me, he's the definition of an undefeated spirit.The book made me realize that it's not the prize at the end that matters, but the dignity of the struggle itself. Santiagodisplayed true grace under pressure. He inspired me to develop that same resilient inner strength no matter what challenges I face.I also loved the beautiful way Hemingway described the ocean and natural world. His writing made me feel like I was right there on the boat with Santiago, riding the waves and feeling the power of the sea. The ocean seemed like a living, breathing character in the book, full of mystery and power. Hemingway's simple but poetic language brought everything to vivid life.One of my favorite quotes from the book is: "But man is not made for defeat...A man can be destroyed but not defeated." This line really stuck with me and summed up Santiago's indomitable spirit. No matter what knocks you down in life, you can always get back up, endure, and keep going with dignity.Another cool thing about the book is all the details about fishing and life at sea. I learned so much about things like baiting hooks, watching for bird trails, tying different kinds of knots and sailing a boat. The technical fishing stuff made the story feel super real and authentic. Hemingway was amazing at blending dramatic narrative with very precise, factual details.I also thought it was interesting how the story had deeper meanings beyond just the surface adventure. Some people thinkthe marlin represents nature's brute force and indifference to man's struggles. Or maybe the sharks symbolize the destructive sharklike behaviors we all have inside us sometimes. The old man could represent mankind's fight for survival and human dignity in an uncaring universe. There are so many ways to interpret and discuss the book's multiple layers of meaning!Overall, The Old Man and the Sea is an absolute masterpiece in my opinion. It's an epic tale of human strength, resilience, dignity and our endless struggle against the forces of nature. The story is exciting and adventurous, but also beautiful and philosophical. Santiago is one of the most heroic and inspirational characters in all of literature to me. This book makes me proud to be a person who never gives up and faces life's challenges with hope and perseverance.If you haven't read The Old Man and the Sea yet, you absolutely must! It's a quick read but so rich, poetic and meaningful. I'm sure it will inspire you with its timeless lessons about grace under pressure just like it did for me. It's an all-time classic for a reason! Let me know what you think of the book after you've read it. I hope you love it as much as I do!篇3My Favorite Book: The Old Man and the SeaHi there! My name is Timmy and I'm in 5th grade. Today I want to tell you all about my absolute favorite book in the whole wide world - "The Old Man and the Sea" by Ernest Hemingway. This book is so awesome and amazing, I just can't get enough of it!The story is about this really old fisherman named Santiago who lives in Cuba near the ocean. He hasn't caught any fish in like 84 days which is a super duper long time! All the younger fishermen started calling him "salao" which means "the worst form of unluckiness." How mean is that? I would never call someone that just because they were having some bad luck.Anyway, Santiago is determined to go way out into the Gulf Stream off the coast of Cuba to try his luck at catching fish again. His little buddy Manolin wants to go with him, but Santiago says he's been bringing him bad luck so he has to go alone. Manolin is supposed to be a boy but he acts more like a sweet little puppy following Santiago around. It's really cute!So Santiago sets out alone in his little rickety old skiff. Can you imagine being all alone in a tiny boat way out in the vast ocean all by yourself at 84 years old? I'd be so scared! But notSantiago - he's as calm as a cucumber. He's a total badass if you ask me.After sailing out really far, Santiago drops his fishing lines and before you know it, he gets an almighty tug on one of the lines. He's caught an enormous marlin - we're talking colossal, like bigger than his skiff! This marlin puts up one epic fight, dragging Santiago's little boat everywhere for two whole days and nights. But the old man refuses to give up.Finally, after an insane battle, Santiago manages to kill the monster marlin with his tiny harpoon and lashes it to the side of his boat. Can you picture this one old scrawny guy somehow taking down a marlin roughly the size of a submarine? The old man is my hero for real.Unfortunately, that's when the real problems start. The blood from the marlin begins attracting every single shark in the ocean it seems. One by one, the sharks start attacking the marlin, ripping huge chunks off until there's hardly anything left by the time Santiago makes it back to shore.When he finally gets back to the little village after his mega struggle, there's nothing left of his prize catch except a stripped carcass. How unfair is that after everything he went through?! I was so mad when I read that part.But you know what? The old man isn't even fazed. He's just happy to have gone out and proven himself after his long run of bad luck. To me, that's the whole point of the story - having the strength, courage, and perseverance to never give up, no matter how stacked against you the odds may seem.I just love everything about this book - the vivid descriptions, the simple but powerful language, and the deeper messages about manhood, dignity, and following your dreams against all odds. Ernest Hemingway is a total genius in my book (pun intended!).Even though I'm just a kid, I feel like I can relate to Santiago in a lot of ways. Like when I'm having trouble with math or getting bullied at school, I think about the struggles he went through and it inspires me to never give up. The Old Man and the Sea teaches you that life is going to be hard sometimes, but if you just keep pushing through the difficulties with resolve and humility, you'll get through anything.I hope I've convinced you to read this amazing classic if you haven't already. It's a quick little book, but wow does it ever pack a punch! I've probably read it like ten times already and I still discover new things about it.Just thinking about it makes me want to go out and have my own crazy adventure, battling epic forces of nature and whatnot. Okay, maybe I'll start a little smaller than taking on giant marlins by myself. Baby steps! But you get the idea.Alright, I've rambled on enough about my favorite book for now. Let me know if you check it out - I'm curious to hear what you think! A masterpiece like The Old Man and the Sea deserves to be appreciated for generations to come. Thanks for reading, catch you later!篇4My Favorite Book: The Old Man and the SeaHi there! My name is Tommy and I'm 10 years old. Today I want to tell you about my absolute favorite book in the whole wide world - "The Old Man and the Sea" by Ernest Hemingway. It's a really cool story about an old fisherman named Santiago who goes on an epic adventure far out into the Gulf Stream off the coast of Cuba.Santiago is kind of down on his luck at first. He hasn't caught any fish for 84 days which is a super long time! All the younger fishermen make fun of him and call him "salao" which means "the worst form of unluckiness." That's so mean! His little fishingskiff is really old too. Despite all this, Santiago stays determined. He says "Every day is a new day" and has faith he will catch a big fish soon.Well, one day Santiago does go out alone in his skiff way far into the Gulf Stream. And you'll never believe what happens next! He hooks an enormously huge marlin – like the biggest fish you can even imagine! Santiago has to be so brave and resourceful to fight and wear down this monster marlin for 3 whole days and nights. There's so much adventure and exciting action in those chapters describing the battle between the old man and the marlin.My favorite part is when Santiago is talking to the marlin and says "I'll stay with you until I'm dead." How cool is that? He respects the marlin so much and doesn't want to just kill it easily. Santiago is really wise and has a deep connection to nature and all living things. Even when he's hooked this prizewinning huge fish, he doesn't just think about money or glory. He thinks the marlin is "truly a great creature" and considers it an honor to struggle against such a magnificent opponent.After an incredibly long fight, Santiago finally kills the marlin with his harpoon and lassos it to the side of his little skiff to tow it back to the shore. Just when you think the action is over, sharksstart attacking the marlin! Santiago uses every bit of strength and trick he knows to fight off the sharks, but they keep coming in packs to tear at the marlin. It's soooooo intense and exciting. I was at the edge of my seat reading those parts!By the time the old man makes it back to the shore after that crazy journey, the sharks have eaten the entire marlin except for a stripped carcass. It's heartbreaking after all Santiago went through to catch that great fish. But he's not sad or bitter at all. He just says "You were ill luck to me from the very start" to the remaining bones, congratulating the marlin for its superb struggle.I absolutely love the character of Santiago. He's someone who never gives up, stays humble but confident in himself, and has so much respect for nature and life itself. Even though he seems like a poor unlucky fisherman at first, we see he's truly admirable, brave, skillful, and wise on the inside. He's not bitter when faced with disappointment or tragedy like losing the marlin to sharks. Instead he takes it in stride with grace and resilience.That's the biggest lesson I took away from this book - the importance of perseverance, self-reliance, respect for nature, and an undefeated spirit. No matter how old or unlucky you mightseem, you should never give up and stay determined. If you keep that dignity and calmness like Santiago, you can overcome any obstacles through courage, clear mind, and commitment.I really admire authors like Hemingway who can pack so much meaning and philosophy into a relatively short, simple story. On one level it's an entertaining fish tale full of excitement and action. But on a deeper level it's an exploration of human strength, humility, our relationship with nature, and the quest for human dignity no matter the odds. Those are such profound themes for a young reader like me to ponder.The descriptions of the sea, the creatures, and Santiago's battle are also exquisite. Just listen to this gorgeous quote describing the marlin after it's been air-borne for over an hour during the fight: "His naturally bright colors were brilliant in the sun and his circling caused the water to make a fine mistblown over him as he danced." So vivid and poetic. You can almost picture and feel that whole majestic scene.In conclusion, "The Old Man and the Sea" is my favorite book of all time and I give it a 10/10 rating! I'm so grateful my 4th grade teacher Mrs. Ross introduced us to this classic novella. Even though I first read it a couple years ago, I find myself returning to it again and again, uncovering new appreciation andmeaning each time. Whether you're a kid or an adult, this is a must-read treasure about perseverance, human spirit, and our sacred connection with nature. I can't recommend it highly enough! Have you read it too? If so, let me know what you thought in the comments below. Well, thanks for reading my book review friends and happy reading!篇5My Favorite Book: The Old Man and the SeaHi everyone! I want to tell you about my absolute favorite book of all time. It's called "The Old Man and the Sea" and it was written by this famous author named Ernest Hemingway. I first read it last year in my reading class and I've probably read it like ten times since then because I love it so much!The story is about this really old fisherman named Santiago who lives near the sea in Cuba. He hasn't caught any fish for 84 days which is a super long time! All the younger fishermen started making fun of him and calling him "salao" which means "the worst form of unlucky." That's so mean! His little friend Manolin used to go out on his fishing trips with him, but Manolin's parents made him stop after all the bad luck.Even though Santiago was so unlucky, he never got discouraged. Every day he would just wake up and go out in his little skiff all by himself, dropping his fishing lines way out in the Gulf Stream current to try and catch some fish. I think that shows how determined and brave Santiago is!Then one day, finally, something amazing happens! Santiago hooks this massive, ginormous, colossal marlin! It's bigger than his whole boat! He could barely even move the line because the marlin was just incredibly strong and powerful. Santiago had to be extremely patient, using all his skills and experience as an old fisherman.For two whole days and nights, Santiago is stuck in his tiny skiff, holding onto the line with all his strength. He doesn't have any food or water and his hands are getting cut up really badly from the fishing line. At one point, these awful killer sharks start attacking the marlin and ripping it apart! Santiago tries fighting them off with just a tiny harpoon and a butcher's knife. He's completely exhausted but he doesn't give up.Eventually, Santiago makes it back to the shore, basically hauling in just the bones of the marlin after the sharks ruined it. He struggles to tied the marlin skeleton to his boat and then falls asleep on his way back to his little shack. When the otherfishermen see the marlin bones, their jaws just drop! They'd never seen anything that big before.I don't want to ruin the very end for you, but that's basically what happens in the book. When I first finished it, I just sat there feeling like "Wow, that Santiago is the COOLEST!" He's so brave and persistent and skilled. Even though he failed at catching the marlin in the end because of those mean sharks, I have so much respect for him and how hard he tried. Heck, I'd probably have given up after one day with the marlin, haha!Santiago is definitely my hero after reading this book. He's like a real-life superhero but he's just an old, ordinary man. I want to have courage and determination like him someday. And I love how the story shows the bond between Santiago and the boy Manolin and how they respect each other so much. It's such a beautiful story overall!The writing is so good too. See, Ernest Hemingway was amazing at telling a whole story with just a few simple words and descriptions. But you can picture everything so clearly in your mind! Like when the sharks are tearing at the marlin, you can practically see and smell that bloody scene. Or the way Santiago talks to himself and thinks about baseball players and pretty ladies from his younger days. It's all so vivid!I really admire authors who can do so much while using hardly any words. That's why I love this book - the simple but powerful story and writing. You don't need crazy made-up fantasies or tons of big vocabulary words to make a book awesome. The Old Man and the Sea proves that a few hundred pages about a weathered old fisherman can be an epic,life-changing read if it's written well enough.It explores important themes about man versus nature, courage, friendship, youth versus old age, and much more. Yet it's not hard to read or understand at all. I think kids and adults equally can enjoy this book and take different meanings from it based on their life experiences.So yeah, I could seriously ramble forever about why The Old Man and the Sea is the greatest novel ever! It's inspired me to maybe even try writing short stories myself one day. All I know is that I'll never get tired of reading about brave Santiago's struggles against the marlin, the sharks, hunger, exhaustion, and his own aging body. It's such a gripping, unforgettable tale.If you somehow haven't read this book yet, you gotta borrow it from the library right away! I have my own beaten up, water-stained copy that goes everywhere with me. The pages arefilled with my penciled-in notes, comments, and little kid doodles. That's how I know a book is truly special to me.Anyways, let me know if any of you have read The Old Man and the Sea too! We can totally fangirl over it. Or I can lend you my copy if you want. Just be sure to give it back because that book means the world to me! Okay, thanks for letting me ramble about my favorite。

老人与海英语小作文The Old Man and the SeaThe sun rose slowly, casting a warm glow over the calm waters of the Gulf Stream. Santiago, an aging fisherman, stood on the shore, his weathered hands gripping the worn handle of his harpoon. For eighty-four days, he had gone out to sea without a single catch, a streak of bad luck that had left him and his young apprentice, Manolin, struggling to make ends meet.As the first light of dawn crept across the horizon, Santiago set out in his small skiff, determined to break his losing streak. He rowed tirelessly, his muscles aching with the strain, but his spirit remained unwavering. The sea had been his constant companion for as long as he could remember, and he knew its secrets like the back of his hand.Hours passed, and the sun climbed higher in the sky, beating down on Santiago's sun-baked skin. He scanned the waters, his eyes searching for any sign of life, any hint of a fish that might be willing to take his bait. Suddenly, his line went taut, and he felt the familiar thrill of the hunt.With a powerful heave, Santiago pulled in his line, revealing a magnificent marlin, its silvery scales glistening in the sunlight. The fish fought fiercely, thrashing and twisting, but Santiago refused to give in. He knew that this was his chance to redeem himself, to prove to the world that he was still a force to be reckoned with.For three days and three nights, the battle raged on. Santiago pitted his strength and skill against the marlin's raw power, using every trick in his arsenal to keep the fish on the line. He refused to give up, even as his hands blistered and his body ached with exhaustion.As the sun began to set on the third day, the marlin finally succumbed to Santiago's relentless efforts. The fisherman lashed the massive creature to the side of his boat and began the long journey back to shore, his heart swelling with pride and a sense of accomplishment.But as Santiago neared the coast, he encountered a new challenge. A pack of sharks had caught the scent of the marlin's blood and were closing in, determined to claim their share of the prize. Santiago fought them off with his harpoon, but the sharks were relentless, tearing away at the marlin's flesh until only a skeleton remained.Defeated but not broken, Santiago dragged the stripped carcass onto the shore, his once-proud catch reduced to a mere shadow ofits former self. He knew that he had given his all, that he had fought with every ounce of his strength and skill, and that in the end, the sea had taken what it wanted.As he walked back to his humble shack, Santiago's shoulders were heavy with the weight of his failure, but his spirit remained unbroken. He had faced the challenges of the sea head-on, and though he had been battered and bruised, he had emerged with a newfound respect for the power and unpredictability of the ocean.In the days that followed, Manolin, the young apprentice, sought out Santiago, offering to help him and to fish with him once more. The two men, united by their shared love of the sea and their respect for one another, set out together, determined to face whatever challenges lay ahead.For Santiago, the battle with the marlin had been more than just a quest for a single catch; it had been a testament to his enduring spirit, a reminder that even in the face of overwhelming adversity, the human will to persevere can triumph. And as he looked out over the endless expanse of the sea, he knew that he would continue to face its challenges, undaunted and unafraid, for as long as he had breath in his body.。
