Success or failure

"The Old Man and the Sea" revolves around an old fisherman, tells the story of his struggle with a huge marlin in the Gulf Stream far offshore, after all the hardships to kill the fish, but there are many small sharks immediately came to grab his trophy, he killed them one by one, to the last only a broken tiller as a weapon. As a result, the big fish will still be eaten up. Finally, exhausted, the old man hauled back a pair of fish bones. He went home to bed and had to forget the cruel reality by dreaming back the good old days.

The old man used his spirit and perseverance to "fight" with the big fish, and finally "defeated" the big fish. Although the old man finally harvested only a fish skeleton, but his kind of spirit still let me admire. When numerous huge sharks attacked the old man in front of him, although the old man was weak, but the old man not only appeared very calm, but also with the kind of never give up, never say die spirit defeated the size of the shark is countless times bigger than him. The blood dyed the sea, reflecting the figure of the old man Wei 'an. This is the image of a tough guy created by Hemingway's men, and he illustrates it well: a man can be destroyed, but not defeated.

In my opinion, although the ending of the novel is not happy, even a little tragic, but the process is profound. Read this novel, my mood can be calm for a long time, this is a kind of old man ah? His image recurred and recurred in my mind. Although the old man has no actual harvest, but he never gave up the pursuit of life, after the fight with the shark, he won, won is unyielding to life! Never give up! The old man said, "A man is not born to be defeated. You can destroy him, but you can't defeat him." This is what The Old Man and the Sea tells us. There is no denying that all human beings have defects. When a person admitted the defect and try to overcome it rather than escape it, whether it is finally caught a complete big marlin or a pair of empty skeleton, this has no matter, because the value of a person's life has been fully reflected in the process of the hunt for big marlin. Once for their own ideal efforts to pursue, struggle, isn't he a great winner?

A ll in all , h uman nature is strong, human itself has its own limits, but it is because of the old fisherman such a person again and again to challenge the limits, beyond them, this limit was expanded again and again, and again put a greater challenge in front of human. In this sense, h eroes like the old fisherman San Diego , whether they are successful or failure, is worth remembering forever.  We should learn from the spirit of the old, not afraid of difficulties and able to meet them head on.
