The novel told a story about how the old fisherman Santiago struggled with the sea. Santiago gained a huge fish called Marlin after having drifted in the sea for 84 days. It was a fish that is 2 feet longer than the boat and that had dragged his boat for two days before being stabbed to death. It seemed that the old man wasn’t so successful, because he encountered a shark, struggled with the serious environments, even the only spoil——Marlin just left a skeleton. However, the most important thing is that Santiago had never given up for a moment.
In this novel, I am deeply impressed by his persevering. I admire the old fisherman for his steel-like mind and persistence. I think there’s a real young man inside him, although he is at an old age and no longer goes back to his youth. From the strong comparison between the old look and the young heart, we can easily find that it is the positive firm spirits that make us hold our hopes and keep trying all the time and finally guide the roads towards success.
Through the vivid description about the struggle between human and nature, Hemingway expresses his opinion that the courage inside human beings can help us face any failure and overcome any difficulty. In the book, the hero Santiago was beat by the shark, which we regard as a symbol of doom, but he chose to struggle with the fortune instead of losing faith in his life. Just the same as the hero Santiago, all of us will meet with various kinds of difficulties in our daily life, which is a rule of human’s fate. So how can we adjust our attitudes toward these and what should we do with so many problems? The old fisherman tell us the truth——“Man is not made for defeat. A man can be destroyed but not be defeated”.
I readwhen I was in junior middle school. At that time I do not know why the old man persists to take dentuso back. It’s so dangerous to fight with sharks. But he did not give up.
But now I’m really proud of Santiago. He is so bra一ve and persevering. “But a man is not made for defeat” he said “A man can be destroyed but not defeated.”
Santiago was old just as Hemingway said “Everything about him was old except his eyes and they were the same color as the sea and were cheerful and undefeated.” He think every day is a new day. No matter how old he is. He said “It’s better to be lucky. But I would rather be exact. Then when luck comes you are ready.”
Santiago was poor; he had nothing except a little boat and harpoon. But he said “Now is no time to think of what you do not ha一ve. Think of what you can do with what there is.”
Santiago was alone. Mandolin can not go to sea with him because of his parents. He catches fishes alone. He fights with sharks alone. He can talk to nobody except himself. No one will help him.
But even though he faced hungry; weary and difficulty alone, he does not give up.
Somebody said Santiago was a failure. Because at last he said he wishes that it had been a dream and the boy cried for him can really approve it.
In this way I think Santiago was a lucky person. Because he still had Mandolin. The boy loved him and pitied him. If Mandolin had no money his own, he begged or stole to make sure that Santiago had enough to eat and fresh baits for his lines. The old man accepts his kindness with humility that was like a quiet kind of pride.
I think Santiago is a hero and he is not a failure. Because catch fish is a part of his life and it is the memory of his mind and he catch a really big fish back at last. The value of his life was completely reflected in the way he catch fish. He is the real winner in his own world.
After I think about this book and Santiago. I realized that I’m not bra一ve enough. I can not stay hopeful when I face laugh and indifferent. And I don’t ha一ve enough courage to do what I want to do. I’m so afraid of this world. I’m so afraid of the people’s words who speak it behind my back. I’m so cowardly and that’s the reason I always lose.
Now I know what to do. Don’t mind others. Be myself. I need possess the quality of reason and shay cheerful and undefeated. Be kind and happy. Be strong and optimistic.

The old man and the sea creates a classic image of a tough guy. Santiago, an old fisherman in Cuba, went out to sea alone and caught a huge Marlin after 84 days of nothing. This is a big fish two feet longer than his boat that the old man has never seen or heard of. The fish is strong and dragging
Why didnt Hemingway let the old man win in the end? In the words of the old man in the novel, _a man is not born to be defeated_, _a man can be destroyed, but he cant be defeated._ This is the philosophy of the old man and the sea. Theres no denying that as long as its human, its flawed. When a person admits this defect and tries to overcome it instead of succumbing to it, whether he can finally overcome his own defect, he is a winner, because he has overcome his own compromise on the defect, he is the winner of his own courage and confidence. The old fisherman is the winner who dares to challenge his own defects and courage and confidence. From the perspective of worldly view of victory, the old fisherman is not the final winner, because although he defeated the great Marlin at first, the great Marlin was finally eaten by the sharks. He just returned to the shore with the white bone shelf of the great marlin, that is to say, the sharks are the winners. However, in the eyes of idealists, the old fisherman is the winner, because he has never been to the sea, not to the great marlin, not to the shark compromise and surrender. As music master Beethoven said, _I can be destroyed, but I cant be conquered._.
Human nature is strong, and human beings have their own limits, but it is precisely because people like the old fishermen challenge the limits again and again, and surpass them that the limits are expanded again and again, placing greater challenges in front of human beings. In this sense, such heroes as the old fisherman Santiago, whether they challenge the limit of success or failure, are worthy of our eternal respect.
Because what he brings us is the most noble confidence of human beings!

_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!
