The story of _The Old Man and the Sea_ is as follows: An old man named Santiago has not caught any fish for 84 days, but he does not lose heart and does not give up. So he went fishing again. This time, the old man caught a big marlin, but on his way back, he was attacked by a shark. The old man fought hard against the shark.
Finally, the old man failed and returned home with only a fish with a head, tail, and bare spine left. However, _People are not born for failure, a person can be destroyed, but cannot be defeated!_ This is the spirit of the tough guy that this book is about to tell everyone!
After reading _The Old Man and the Sea_, this indomitable spirit has also influenced me. Once, while jumping on a long rope during a big break, I was jumping in high spirits when I suddenly tripped over the rope and fell to the ground with a _plop_ sound, feeling like crying.
But at this moment, the shadow of the old man appeared in front of me, and the words he said, _A person can be destroyed, but cannot be defeated,_ also rang in my ears. So I gritted my teeth and climbed up, although tears were still swirling in my eyes, I endured the pain and joined the team of jumping the long rope again.
After reading _The Old Man and the Sea_, I know I should learn from the old mans indomitable spirit of never giving up!
_The old man and the sea_ created a classic tough guy image. A man named sangdeya brother Cuban old fisherman，a man fishing alone in the 48 days after，have gained nothing caught a huge marlin. This is the old man never seen nor heard a big fish said his boat was two feet longer than the. Jin also big fish，dragging the boat drift for two days and two nights，the elderly have never experienced a difficult test in this two days and two nights，finally the barb，tied to the bow. But then they met a shark，the old man and the sharks were life-and-death struggle，the big marlin was eaten by sharks，fish skeleton old man finally dragged home only a bare.
Why not let the elderly Hemingway final victory? Novel in the words of the elderly: _a person is not born to be defeated_，_a man can be destroyed，but not defeated._ This is the _old man and the sea_ to reveal the philosophy. Undeniably，as long as one would have defects. When a person recognizes this shorting and tried to overe it and not go to it，no matter finally caught a full marlin or an empty skeleton，which have not really matter，because a person's life has value in the hunt Marlins in the process of fully embodied. Have their own pursuit of the ideal，struggle，he is not a winner? The old fisherman is wrong and the courage to challenge their own courage and confidence. Secular outlook from the perspective of victory，the old fisherman is not the final winner，because even though he began to beat the big marlin，but eventually the big marlin let sharks eat，he just took the big marlin bones house back to shore，that is to say，the shark is the winner. However，in the eyes of ide
alists，the old fisherman is a winner，because he has never been to sea to the big marlin sharks more promise and not to surrender. As music master Beethoven said，_I can be destroyed，but can never be conquered_.
Human nature is a powerful，humanity itself has its own limits，but it is because of the old fisherman such people again and again to challenge the limits，beyond them，this limit was extended again and again，and again a greater challenge in front of human beings. In this sense，the old fisherman sangdeya brother this hero，whether they challenge limit is success or failure，is always worthy of our respect. Because，he brings us is the most noble human self-confidence!
Life is an endless pursuit. It is the road long，difficult and full of ups and downs，but，as long as he has a brave and confident heart to meet the challenge，he will always be a real winner!

This year winter vacation, I read the American well-known writer
Hemingway's novel _ old person and sea _. I extremely admire in the novel the senior fisherman's will, he let me understand one person certainly must have relentless spirit, only then could obtain successfully.
The novel description is one year near sixty years of age senior fisherman, when alone goes to sea in one fishing, fished one big fish, actually did not pull. The senior fisherman socialized several days after the fish, only then discovered this was the big marlin which one surpassed the oneself fishing boat several fold, although knew perfectly well very difficult to win, but still did not give up. Afterwards and further because in the big marlin wound fish fishy smell brought in several crowds of shark fish _es the food, but the old person still did not hope like this to give up, finally highlighted encircles tightly, returned to the big fish belt the fishing port, lets other fishermen not admire already.
When I read _ the senior fisherman think: Here to the seacoast really was too near, perhaps could have a bigger fish in a farther place... _ When, I extremely admire this senior fisherman, because he by now already projected on some fish, but he had not settled to the present situation, but was approaches the bigger goal advance. Again has a look us, usually meets one slightly is difficult, we all complain incessantly. We will be the motherland future, will be supposed to like this old person same mind lofty aspiration, will even better pursue even better, the bigger goal.
When I read _ the big marlin start fast to gather round the young fishing boat hover, twined the cable on the mast, the old person right hand lifted up high the steel fork, leapt the water surface in it the flash, did utmost throws to its heart, one wail ended the big fish's life, it was static static floats on the water surface... _ When, my heart also liked together the big stone falls. I extremely admire old person that kind do not dread, the relentless spirit,although knows the match strength is very strong, but he not slightly flinches, but is welcomes difficultly above. Just because had this kind of spirit, the senior fisherman only then achieved this life and death contest success. We also must study senior fisherman's spirit in life, handles the matter does not fear the difficulty, only then can obtain successfully.
Was reading the big fish's smell of blood is smelled by one crowd of shark fish, struggled swims _es the food, old person's left hand happen to in the convulsions, he only could use the right hand, with wooden stick， the mouth and so on all was allowed to use for the weapon self-defense which attacked, and finally expelled this crowd of shark fish. But the big fish's meat was already eaten one most, but the old person also charmingly criticized oneself the left hand _ this work time actually was resting _ time, I also was subdued by the old person optimistic spirit. In the life, some losses are inevitable, we should treat by the optimistic manner, cannot be calculating.
Finally, the novel sees by one youth the senior fisherman fully has 18 foot long big marlin in the measure, once more described this fish's hugeness, explained senior fisherman overcomes the difficulty was big, non- was more common than.
The novel eulogized the spirit which the senior fisherman fear hard and dangerous diligently did not struggle, we also should like his such, could not satisfy the present situation, should positively to above, do any matter all is relentless, meets difficultly must welcome difficultly above, could give up halfway in no way. Only has this, we only then can obtain a bigger success and the victory.
the Old Man and the Sea is one of Hemingway's most enduring works and may very well become one of the true classics of this generation. It played a GREat part in his winning the Pulizer Prize in 1953 and the 1954 Novel Prize for Literature and confirmed his power and presence in the literary world. Hemingway is also one of my favorite writers. Besides The Old Man And the Sea, I have read some of his other works, such as The Sun Also Rises, A Farewell to Arms and The Snow of Kilimanijaro. But The Old Man and the Sea is the one that left the deepest impression on me.
I first read this book when I was in my fifteens. And now I remember it just as well as if I had read it yesterday.
Pride and Prejudice is a chefdoeuvre.
My first impression of this story was from screen.
It's long long ago, maybe before I can read english books. I don't remember which movie edition I had seen. But I was impressed by the music, the scenery and the costume. I was very favor of a section of music in its balls. It's pretty brisk, liked a wonderful song of a bird. Regarding to the characters, I liked Elizabeth, the heroine,though I didn't think she's beautiful. But she's smart. However, I didn't pay much attention to the plot. I thought it's so long that it made me impatient and bored. By now, I haven't read the whole story in English or its Chinese version, either. I owe it to my prejudice.
In fact, I didn't understand the story at that time. I didn't know why it called Pride and Prejudice. Of course someone was pride, but I didn't find where' s the prejudice. I thought it's normal, the way people treated each other in that. I considered prejudice would be very disgusting. But to the movie everthing was OK in my minds, except its length. Now, I think I have understood more about it. I'm a prejudiced person so I can't find where's wrong. I merely like to do the things I like. Everytime I meet somebody or something,my thinking about he or it all depends on my foregone experience and my mood of the time.
The the old man and the seais a brief but meaningful story. After fishing nothing during the past 84 days, the old fisherman San Diego finally captured a salmon, which weight is over 1500 pounds. After a tough struggle, exactly, three days’ standoff, the old man eventually killed the big fish that came to surface because of being exhausted. However, on the way to harbor, the old man was attacked by many sharks who tracked after the smell of the dead salmon, what he still hold was only the bone of the big fish when he arrived at port.
It is said that the author, Ernest Hemingway who is a great American writer wrote the novel in only eight weeks, basing on one of his friend’s true experience. He created the figure of the old man which was later called by people “tough man” and showed his life attitude and spiritual world. The most well-known sentence of this novel and also the topic of it is that: “man is not made for defeat. A man can be destroyed but not defeated.” These words become belief of many readers.
In my opinion, the whole story is about a battle between an old man and the sea, both of which are considered to ha一ve symbolic meanings according to critics. The old man once was so energetic and strong but couldn’t get harvest from the sea. He used his old body and strong mind to fight against nature and challenge his fate. He did win a bit—he got the large fish, but he lost totally because he carried back only the skeleton of the fish with his hands bleeding. On the other hand, he had done all he could to fight against all unlucky things and didn’t lose his face. He beha一ved like a real man, a tough man.
It’s a tragic novel, but it’s also a heroic symphony. The poor old fisherman was regarded as a failure by other fishers as he had captured nothing during the past 84 days. When he fished that 1500-pound salmon, he determined to fight to death even though he knew clearly that the big fish was much stronger than him, and finally, he succeeded. But the ordeal was not to the end even he had succeeded in capturing the big fish. The salmon was bigger than his fishing-boat, he dad no choices but binding the fish to one side of his boat. During his way home, the dead salmon was attacked again and again by shakes followed after the smell of blood. He had to do everything he could do to protect his victory. Harpoon was taken away by a shark, he tied the knife on the oar to stick the shake; the knife was broken, he used short stick to fight against the shark; the short stick was lost, he fought with rudder···Nothing could destroy his volition though the fish was eaten by sharks. God seems to ha一ve no pity toward such a great old man; he dropped misfortunes on this poor old man time and time again. But the old San Diego never ga一ve in.
The old man’s story is not only a symbol of the relationship between human and nature, but also a symbol of the indestructible spirit of human. In reality, the old man was defeated, but in spirit, he was a winner. The spirit of tenacious fight of him suggested the dignity and perseverance of human people. Even a great successful person has some experience of frustration. There are various reasons of being failed, but even an insignificant failure is an unbearable strike. Going to sea, he would gain another hope of being successful. Maybe, the sinister life environment and the tenacity of life attitude is the reason that this composition is more and more attractive. Life itself is a kind of endless pursuit, just like the old man’s saying“human is not born to be failure, one could be ruined, but he could not be defeated.” These words remind me of the “Destiny symphony_, in which Beethoven says that “I could be destroyed, but I couldn’t be conquered”. They indicate the meaning of a hero, the meaning of life. Also, it’s what this story wants to tell people: human should face the failure bra一vely. From this respect, this book is not an allegory or a fairy tale, but a realistic works. What’s important in this story is not win but the value of a life. The old man dares to challenge the extremity and over the limit time and time again. What he brought to human is not only an attitude of confidence, but also a powerful strength of spirit.
The old man and the seagives me a lot of revelation. What is failure? Failure is the bra一very to get up the courage to climb up when you fell down and to get the courage to climb up again when you fell again and never lose the hope of life and the dream of life. What is hero? Hero is the people who dare to face the frustration, dare to challenge the frustration and defeat the frustration and overcome oneself, they ha一ve the courage to achieve their dream, even they ha一ve failed many times.
What scary us is not the failure, but the weakness and giving in to the failure. Once you ha一ve surrendered, all your dreams will never come true. This thought also has a significant meaning to our realistic life. Life is like the old man’s fishing, even you are failed, but you will not lea一ve regret for life, because you ha一ve struggled and faced to the challenges bra一vely. We’ll be the winner of our life, and our life will be splendid because we ha一ve struggled with our dreams.
The Old Man And The Sea This is a great book， mind you. How I gave opinions to that is the spirits of Santiago greatly affected me. But the author， Earnest Hemingway said if his writing is really good， then the characters can also be many other things. Santiago is a common fisherman， and he hadn't had a fish for 84 days. And this time when he left he fished a big salmon by himself. He fought the fish for 3 days and nights and finally he kills it. He called it his 'brother'. But he then had to fight the sharks and finally he gone home with a fish spine， and some fish bones.
I could find his great spirits of never giving up. Particularly if he just loose the grip of the fishing poleand let the fish go， he wouldn't have any trouble， but he can stay to the end. Something I regret to tell you is that I didn't read this book very carefully， so I intend to tell you I want to read this book again and tell you what I've gained through the second—time reading.
the old man and the sea is one of hemingway's most enduring works and may very well become one of the true classics of this generation. it played a great part in his winning the pulizer prize in 1953 and the 1954 novel prize for literature and confirmed his power and presence in the literary world. hemingway is also one of my favorite writers. besides the old man and the sea, i have read some of his other works, such as the sun also rises, a farewell to arms and the snow of kilimanijaro. but the old man and the sea is the one that left the deepest impression on me.

The first is people's self-confidence. Santiago consecutive 84 days at sea，and did not catch a fish. However，the _pair of eyes，ah，like water，like blue，is happy，not depressed._ Originally to follow Santiago on fishing expeditions children，spoke of his father called him to the other boat and said，: _He did not much self-confidence._ _Yes._ the old man said，_But we have，you say is not it?_
Santiago in self-confidence is absolute self-confidence，is not to environmental change and changes in self-confidence，it does not pare with others，self-confidence. In Santiago's philosophy of existence，even when confronted with a pole of the unlucky people can only self-confidence.
People alive，the only way to determine the necessity，that is，to death. In addition，there is no bound to what can rely on. Since the person is alive by chance，then the courage to support human life，the only confident. If we lose self-confidence，in the continuing unlucky so many days after the Santiago there is the courage and perseverance on fishing expeditions do? Therefore，people live to be confident，not self-confidence is for human consumption can not afford luxury. It is precisely because Santiago had an absolute self-confidence，he was called away to the children to express a plete tolerance and understanding. Here，Hemingway has demonstrated the link between self-confidence and tolerance. _Hits_ in the main space，describing the lonely old fisherman Santiago，in the open sea and in large marlin and a variety of sharks entangled，fought for three days and three nights experience. By Hemingway fullest description，we felt the Santiago desperate struggle with the fate of the heroic and noble. Last drag home for the elderly only a 18 feet-long fish skeleton，the only plete skeleton is the head and beautiful fish tail.
From the physical point of view，elderly people fought for three days and three nights a result of failure; but the human spirit，from the person's self-confidence self-esteem，courage and destiny from the human to make every effort to struggle for victory Santiago.
After all，the true victory can only be a triumph of the spirit. No matter who made much material success，they can not win our respect and thanks. Only the spirit and the spirit of victory，it moves us，that we have to follow the elderly and children，for his tragic tears.
Reading the famous American writer Hemingways the old man and the sea made me feel a admire the fishermans own will in the book, he let me understand a truth: if people have the spirit of perseverance, they can achieve great success.
I read the old man and the was moved by the grandfather in the fought with the sea and the big waves for 85 was a grandfather of is said that all the stories in this book are mainly tells that my grandfather rowed a shabby boat alone and fought with a big fish in the sea, and finally defeated the huge fact, grandfather is not a great man, in many places are ridiculed, but he ignored, only tolerant.
To tell you the truth, we should also be like my matter what we do, we should persevere and never give up in this way can we do everything well.
