The book extremely states that the most important
thing in life is hope which makes one successful. So, it is true that without
working hard, people can't get their expectations of what they dreamed. Those
people are examples in front of the world because of their hard work and hope
which gave them fierce to lead themselves in every circumstance of life. The
book says the story of an old man who has spent 84
days without catching a single fish. Only the mission of the old
man was to catch a fish which can be a sign of his hard work. If
one understands the worries of the old man then he/she would think about giving
up before approaching their goals but the old man didn't do so.
This book is all about the old man and the sea which
is a classic novel book written in 1951 by Ernest Hemingway. It is considered
one of the outstanding novels of Ernest Hemingway. The story tells us about the
tale of an old fisherman, a young boy, and beautiful and a brave fish.
Santiago was with the old man who
have spent 84 days without catching fish. Everybody encourages Santiago for
leaving the old man because the old man was considered an unlucky person.
He was now been teamed with "Salao" by the local people which means
that he is suffering from the worst form of unluckiness.
Once he was a healthy man, he was great at his job
and would always catch the best fish. Now he is an old and poor man
with nothing much to keep his days and mind fresh. Even the boy who he loved
dearly and had trained well is now forbidden from his parents to work with the
old man because of his unlucky condition. Manolin, the young boy however loves
Santiago and cares for him. He often brings food and tea for him and they talk
about all the things under the sun.
They determined to change his luck by catching
a big fish to stop the mouth of those people who consider
the old man an unlucky person. The old man sets out on the sea on the
85th day. He goes out into the gulf stream and his bait soon gets taken by a
big fish which is known as a "Marlin."
But, the fish was not getting it so easily. The old
man was also determined and did not let it go easily. There was a fight
for life both sides were equally having bravery and determination.
After that when the boy left him alone. He faced a
lot of problems after being alone. He was weak and he needed someone to support
him but still, he tried his best to catch the big fish. He used to wait
for him until it would come to his path. Then during that time, he did not lose
hope.
At last, he got the beautiful fish which
was the fastest and the greatest fish in the sea. The fish's color
was blue and the back was silver it was so handsome and very big. Apart from
this, the main moral of this story that I have gotten is that an old
man is not made for facing defeats and failures.
A man continued to do whatever he thought and planned
by showing the best of his ability. Challenges may try to break the hopes of a
man but a man remains undefeated unless he accepts the failure and gives
up.
The ending highlights the heroic feat of an old man.
The tourist and waiter are only aware of the shark's skeleton's beauty without
ever realizing what the old man has gone through.
