Ernest Hemingway

Mandolin doesn't fish with Santiago anymore because of the old man's lack of luck, which affects Mandolin's own success. Santiago feels resigned to this change, understanding that it is part of Mandolin's decision to prioritize his livelihood over their friendship. Santiago remains determined and perseveres on his own, despite the loss of his fishing partner.

The Old Man and the Sea ends with the irony that Santiago has finally caught a fish, but it has been stripped bare by sharks. In that sense, the elderly fisherman has been both fortunate and unlucky.

In "The Old Man and the Sea," the weather conditions play a significant role in shaping the story's events. The book describes the ocean as being calm at times and rough at others, reflecting the struggles and triumphs experienced by the old man, Santiago, as he battles the marlin. The weather also symbolizes the unpredictability and challenges of life that Santiago faces in his solitary journey at sea.

This book came out originally in 1952; it is 127 pages in length, and has been reprinted in new editions several times.

Yes, he dies. This is inferred by the reader. Because of the conectedness he has between himself and the fish such as them both being in their own struggle, it symbolizes something. The fish dies after his great stuggle against the old man. Due to the conectedness, the old man also dies after his great struggle against the marlin and the sharks: nature. One event that forshadows his death is that he "spat out something strage" in the end of the book. This meaning he spat blood...

Santiago knows that the fish are getting tired because he is an experienced old fisherman and has been fishing in the same waters all his life. Hemmingway spells this out very early in the book.

The opening and closing scenes of "The Old Man and the Sea" bookend the story and emphasize the cyclical nature of life. The opening scene introduces the protagonist, Santiago, and sets the stage for the challenges he will face. The closing scene brings the story full circle, showing Santiago back on land but still grappling with his internal struggles, suggesting themes of resilience and the enduring human spirit.

In "The Old Man and the Sea," the new method of fishing employed by Santiago is to use a makeshift sail made from his own clothing to help him navigate the sea more efficiently and overcome the challenges posed by the marlin he is trying to catch. This method allows him to conserve his strength and stay focused on the task at hand.

"The Old Man and the Sea" is about an old fisherman named Santiago who has had 84 days of bad luck at sea and been unable to catch anything. He even loses his helper over it because the boy's parents make him work for a more successful fisherman. On the 85 day Santiago goes out further and hooks a giant marlin that pulls him through the ocean for 2 days. On the 3rd day the fish tires and Santiago is finally able to pull it in and slays it with a harpoon. He is beat up from the fishing line but knows that this giant fish will bring him a great deal of money, even if the ones who eat it aren't worthy. The fish leaves blood trails in the water and sharks come to attack. Santiago tries to fight them off but is unable to and by the time he returns home he only has a skeleton left to show of the fish. He goes to bed. While he is asleep the townspeople see the skeleton and mistake it for a shark. The boy comes and is happy to find Santiago asleep in his bed. He brings him coffee and the paper. When Santiago awakens he and the boy agree to become partners again before Santiago falls back asleep and dreams his usual dreams of lions playing on the beach in Africa.

In The Old Man and the Sea, Santiago the fisherman views the Portuguese man-of-war as a beautiful but dangerous creature of the sea. He respects its ability to survive in the harsh ocean environment, but also recognizes the threat it poses with its venomous tentacles.

The Old Man, Santiago could really be viewed as either a protagonist or antagonist. Protagonist is the obvious choice. We see everything through his eyes, and he is a wise experienced fisherman. He is a character we like. However, he could be viewed as an antagonist in the way that he loves the fish and respects it, and yet wants to kill it. He is determined to harm such a noble and beautiful creature that we wonder if he really is the good guy. It is possible that the ending is a result of his being greedy, but as he said he is a fisherman and it is his job to kill the fish. Can we really hold him responsible for this?

In the Ernest Hemingway story, an old man went fishing for a big swordfish in a small boat. He caught it, but most of the swordfish was eaten by sharks on the way home. It's kinda like Herman Melville's Moby Dick (where Ahab went after a sperm whale and it killed him). It's about seeking a goal, and when you achieve your goal, often you find out that your victory wasn't worth the effort.

The theme of "The Old Man and the Sea" includes the struggle against nature, perseverance in the face of challenges, and the relationship between man and the natural world. It also explores themes of isolation, determination, and the human spirit's ability to endure hardship.

Flashback is especially useful in this story because of the mountainous amounts of time Santiago has to just think. Because of this, the story often goes back into his memories, for example, when he recalls the arm-wrestling competition. Also when he remembers all the times he and the boy went fishing together. His reoccurring dream is a flashback as well as he remembers the lions that relaxed on the beach from his past years. These flashbacks help the story because they give it background to who Santiago is and his personality.

In "The Old Man and the Sea," the fish lurches because it is trying to break free from the fishing line attached to it. The fish is caught by the old man after a long and arduous battle, demonstrating the struggle between man and nature.

Ernest Hemingway wrote "The Old Man and the Sea", and won the Nobel Prize in 1954: "for his mastery of the art of narrative, most recently demonstrated in The Old Man and the Sea".

This is the book called the old man and the sea, it written by Ernest Hemingway in the 1950's. It is about an old Cuban fisherman called Santiago who has a 3 day "battle" with a marlin before he manages to catch it but the marlin is then eaten by sharks as Santiago is taking it back to land. At the end of the novel it suggests that Santiago dies from the struggle with the marlin because he feels something in his chest has broken and that something is his heart.

Ernest Hemingway. Hemingway won a 1953 Pulitzer Prize for his novella, The Old Man and the Sea, then won a Pulitzer Prize for Literature in 1954. He committed suicide in 1960, after a long struggle with depression.

No, a 38-year-old man should not be engaging in a sexual relationship with a 17-year-old girl. This age difference raises serious legal and ethical concerns regarding consent and power dynamics. It is important to prioritize the well-being and safety of all individuals involved, and this kind of relationship is not appropriate.

Ernest Hemingway was indeed an author of several novels: The Sun Also Rises, For Whom the Bell Tolls and the Old Man and The Sea, among others. He was an expatriate because he was disallusioned with America's participation in WWI. He gave up his citzenship and moved to Paris, with a lot of other writers, who became known as the Lost Generation. Someone who gives up their citizenship is known as an expatriate.

I have never heard of this. Up to a point Hemingway may be putting the knock on solitary heroes ( for example Charles Lindbergh) but there is nothing objectionable in the tale of the fisherman. certainly no foul language, sexual plot twists, homo-erotic angles of development. it is sort of sorry tale, but nobody dies (among the humans) the exertions of the voyage do NOT kill the Fisherman, and the version I remember reading ends relatively happily as a young lad wants to go fishing with him as he returns ( alive but sans big catch) to port. It could have been more cheery, but there is nothing objectionable about the story- now you have domestic animal deaths in Red Pony, and some others, and often violence is cast in to some story just to pepper things up- but not here. I can"t see anything wrong with the story.
