The old man and the sea

From the beginning of reading "the old man and the sea I feel a sense of passion plugging in the chest but no way to identify the elements of it for it cannot find release. The final is just some scattered fragments let me list them one by one." the old man and the sea the story is very simple write the Cuban old fisherman Santiago to catch any fish in eighty-four days and finally in eighty-fifth days to catch a salmon but the fish is too big his boat dragged on for three days exhausted in the sea he was killed and tied to the side of the boat. On the return journey repeated shark the attack finally returned to the bank only Under the head tail and spine. Someone said "the old man and the sea is the story of a heroic hymn the author borrowed it out the theme of the book -" man is not made for defeat a man can be destroyed but not defeated. "I do not agree with this view. True in the novel the author by words and deeds to sub brother reflects the heroism of the praise such as Santiago is not afraid of setbacks the indomitable spirit of (undefeatedspirit) such as his desperate struggle with salmon for example he told Dimaggio the great (DiMaggio) fever but to worship. The ending of the novel the old man through the struggle results obtained by sharks looted leaving his head tail and spine. I can only feel negative from the old man's words helpless and lonely and desolate that the plot but also said that the author is only in praise of heroism that great? It can be seen as a reflection of heroism? In the book begins with the exclamation of heroism but ended in a big question mark. In my opinion "the old man and the sea is the story of an old man's tragic fate and the origin of the tragedy is perhaps the so-called heroism. In the book Santiago the sea as his home He on the sea with primitive simple and profound love he is not only a living by Fishing Fisherman and is a life of their own and the sea is old. He loves every fish of the sea each flower waves on the sea and even the birds are out of a love and sympathy. In a sense the sea is not only his family but also his spirit and soul habitat. In the absence of catch fish for eighty-four days he is happy and never give up even if the life of affliction he never despair but with confidence to face yet. In eighty-fifth days the sea when the eighteen foot Salmon appeared to ignite the desire to conquer the old man when he began to step into the director of his own tragedy. In the process of fighting and salmon in the old man's mentality is complex. He had feelings for fish and even to some extent have sympathy. But the sympathy for occupation habits and self-esteem and he had to kill fish - "I'll stay with you until I die. Because when Yu Fuzheng was born the dry up." two contradictory mentality from Santiago -- out of a sense of human nature on the other hand is a social person. So in the process of fighting and the big fish in the elderly heart is With their own more intense and cruel psychological struggle. Of course with the development of the story the old man beat the big fish which in a deeper level suggesting that the human society eventually conquered the nature.
