The external scenes in the film adaptation of "The Old Man and the Sea" were shot on location in Cuba. The movie was filmed mainly in and around the coastal town of Cojímar, which is near Havana.

The sea turtle in "The Old Man and the Sea" symbolizes strength, endurance, and wisdom. It serves as a reflection of Santiago's own struggle against the hardships of the sea and embodies the idea of survival and resilience in the face of adversity.

I think Austen was preferring Sense to Sensibility. The younger Dashwood sister represented sensibility (emotion) and a great deal of harm came of it. She fell in love with the man Willoughby who lacked integrity. His charming exterior attracted young Dashwood and was thus betrayed and almost died of an illness indirectly caused by her obsession. The elder Dashwood sister represented sense (rationalism) and made fewer mistakes although she was more prone to depression I think.
Austen's apparent preference toward rationalism is expressed in Pride and Prejudice as well. Lizzy Bennett exemplified prejudice and unwisely resented Darcy due to a bad first impression although he was in fact a good man. Instead she began to feel attracted to Mr. Wickham who made a charming first impression but was in fact a very immoral man.

Santiago promised to say a series of prayers and offer thanks to God if he was able to catch the fish from "The Old Man and the Sea." He pledged to make a pilgrimage to the Virgin of Cobre if his wish was granted.

The rising action in "The Old Man and the Sea" involves Santiago's struggle with the marlin and his battle against nature's forces. As he hooks the large fish and engages in a physical and mental challenge to bring it back to shore, tension and suspense build as Santiago's determination and endurance are put to the test. This section of the story also highlights the themes of perseverance, struggle, and resilience.

Poverty in "Sense and Sensibility" symbolizes a loss of social status and security for characters like the Dashwood sisters, who struggle to adapt to their reduced circumstances. For characters like John Dashwood, however, poverty represents a threat to their lifestyle and financial well-being, leading them to prioritize wealth and status over personal relationships. Overall, poverty serves as a source of conflict and reflection on the values of the characters in the novel.

Holden Caulfield in "The Catcher in the Rye" describes his reading habits using a paradox by stating that the more he reads certain books, the more he feels like he knows the author, even though he has never met them. This paradox reflects Holden's desire for genuine connections and his struggle with feelings of alienation and isolation.

Because, prior to the publication, most people in the North were probably not aware on how bad the conditions for slaves were in the South. They probably thought of slaves as being little more than butlers and maids. Uncle Tom's Cabin showed how terrible life was for the slave in the South. There were people working in the North for very little pay and they thought that the slave's life was not that much different than their's were. The book showed just how bad a slave's life could be.
