Santiago is annoyed by the old man's tendency to speak in abstract terms and his focus on the past rather than the present. He feels that the old man's stories are disconnected from the real experiences of life, which frustrates Santiago's desire for genuine connection and understanding. This generational gap highlights Santiago's struggle with his own dreams and the realities he faces. Ultimately, the old man's perspective feels limiting to Santiago, who is eager to pursue his own path.

santiago is the protagonist of the old man and the sea novel
Pedrico was a character in "The Old Man and the Sea" who worked with Santiago before his long journey out to sea. He helped Santiago with his fishing gear and was one of the few people who believed in Santiago's ability to catch fish. Pedrico also looked after Santiago's belongings while he was away.
The old man, Santiago, woke the boy, Manolin, by gently shaking him awake and telling him it was time to go fishing. Manolin was Santiago's young apprentice who had been assigned to a different boat by his parents, but he still cared deeply for Santiago and helped him prepare for his fishing trips.
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.
In "The Old Man and the Sea," Santiago does not deal with Catherine's death because Catherine is not a character in the story. Santiago is the protagonist, an elderly Cuban fisherman who faces struggles at sea while trying to catch a giant marlin.
