The Old Man and the Sea

"However,man is not made for failure,""A man can be destroyed,but not defeated."After reading this book,I only remember this shocking sentence and the repeated battles between the old man Santiago and the big fish.The old man hadn’t caught any fish for 85 days,but he still went out to sea without hesitation.This time,he fought against the big fish.I saw him give himself one chance after another in despair.Eventually,he caught a big marlin,which consumed almost all of his energy.But reality was not like that.On the way back,he encountered sharks again,as if they were joking with him.The fish he caught was snatched away by sharks again,and in the end,he almost got nothing.But throughout the process,he dared to resist and persisted until the end,reflecting the humanistic brilliance of daring to resist and never giving up.The vast and boundless sea is like our lives,and those repeated waves are like the setbacks in life.The big marlin that the old man wanted to catch is like the goal we want to pursue time and again.The ugly shark is like an evil stumbling block on the road of life.What we should learn from the old man is his optimistic and positive attitude,tenacious will,and the spirit of striving with all one’s might to pursue the goal.
