Ernest Hemingway

Genesis 37:2 says he was seventeen when he was tending his fathers flocks and was given the coat of many colors. Probably not long after that was when he was sold into slavery.

Because he thought that Santiago was dead.

That is not true. The quote says, "The boy saw that the old man was breathing and then he saw the old man's hands as he started to cry." So, he saw he was alive, then cried. I think he was crying because he knew the old man was old and would not be able to fish without the presence of the boy. Or he could be sad because he was going to go out with him but he didn't so he feels guilty. Which ever it is defiantly not because he thought Santiago was dead.

Hemingway, simply put, was a man of action, always aware of the battle between man and the elements, the carnivores in the animal kingdom (he was a daring big game hunter and an excellent deep fisherman himself). Those carnivores were found on land and in the seas. As he grew older the perception of the encounters between a hellion in the sea and the iconic male master o'er the sea gradually took shape in his brain, his idea of a to the death showdown between the old wily fisherman and the primed instinctive sea-denizen jelled into a metaphor of life's struggles itself. And as a writer he had to manifest that perception in a story, and thus we have his "Old Man and The Sea."
