The most classical sentence

Man is not made for defeat.

A man can be destroyed but not defeated.

My point of view:

Everyone will meet difficultiesduring lifetime, the point is that

whether we face it bravely or not.

Love Death

-the love for marlin

Santiago regarded

the fish as his

Brothers, not only

as something he

could survive on.

In this novel, I think

Death is unavoidable.

The fact is that noliving creature can

escape.

However, Hemingway

said Death is never

an end in itself.


11/19

Symbol 1: Marlin

When he fought with Marlin, hecan bring out his most excellent

aspect, such as strength,courage, his love and respect.


12/19

Symbol 2: Sharks

He couldnt win any gloryfrom battling with sharks only

when he surpasses the

destructive laws.


13/19

Symbol 3: Boy

he always thought---If only Manolin were here.


14/19

Pride: Santiago proves that Pride

can stimulate man to greatness.
