Read the O. Henry "the last leaf", I was deeply touched. Came down with pneumonia Johncy girl ivy leaf on the wall outside the window as his own life. Look at pieces of falling leaves, she couldnt help but pessimism and despair, she felt that the last one fall, she also want to go to. Old painter Mr Behrman is also suffering from pneumonia in the last leaf fell down in the evening, laid it on the wall in the rain for Johncy painted the last leaf, he died.

Johncy collapse because of her illness, and even pessimistic to the life on the leaves. She thought that the last leaf fall, she is free. Treat life, optimistic and pessimistic people will make a different choice: optimists in time will be facing death to life full of hope, brave fight for their own life and death; While pessimistic person, even with a healthy body, because the bad state of mind you are blasted the vigorous life.

In the story, Mr Behrman painted the ivy leaf, not just a leaf, it is not just a picture, it is the symbol of people unremitting pursuit of hope, also reflects the Mr Behrman, kind heart. It gives Johncy living courage and hope, and to heal her pneumonia.

In this life and death struggle, Johncy because Mr Behrman that a leaf, the great spiritual power, set up the confidence, to overcome the disease and brave to fight the disease, withered life finally erupt again. In fact, everyone will encounter difficulties and setbacks, the key is to see if you have confidence, can be brave to face it, overcome it.

In life, in the face of difficulties, in the face of challenges, just keep the optimistic positive attitude, brave to challenge, even if failure, there will be no regret. Lets paint in his heart that a piece of falling leaves, not positive in the face of life.

读过欧-亨利的《最后一片叶子》之后,我深深地被感动了。患 了 肺炎Johncy姑娘把窗外墙上的常春藤叶子当作自己的生命。看着叶子一片片飘落,她不禁悲观而又绝望,她觉得那最后一片掉下来,她也要去了。同样是身患肺炎的老画家Behrman先生在那片仅剩的叶子落下去的晚上,顶风冒雨在墙上为Johncy画上了最后一片叶子,便与世长辞。

Johncy因为自己的病而一蹶不振,甚至悲观到了将生命寄托在叶子的身上。她以为最后一片树叶落下,她也就解脱了。对待生命,乐观的人和悲观的人会作出截然不同的抉择:乐观者及时面对死亡也会对生命充满希望,勇敢的为自己的生命而与死神搏击;而悲观的人,即使拥有健康的体魄,也会因为不良的心态也会使旺盛的生命枯萎。

在故事中,Behrman先生所画的那一片常春藤叶子,不只是一片叶子,也不只是一幅画,它是人们对希望不懈追求的象征,也映射出了Behrman先生善良的心灵。它给了Johncy生活下去的勇气和希望,并使她的肺炎得以治愈。

在这生与死的抗争中,Johncy因为Behrman先生的那一片叶子,产生了巨大的精神力量,树立了战胜病魔的信心,并勇敢地与病魔作斗争,枯萎的生命终于又重新勃发了生机。事实上,每一个人都会遇到困难和挫折,关键是看自己有没有信心,能不能勇敢地去面对它,战胜它。

在生活中,面对困难,面对挑战时,只要保持着乐观积极的心态,勇敢地去挑战,即使失败,也不会有遗憾。让我们在自己心中描绘出那一片不落的叶子,积极向上的面对生活吧。

"The red" the heros name is in even, her first lover is Mrs DE rainer, a second lover is miss mathilde. Theory of status, the identity of the two harmonized appearances of people was significantly higher than him. So, one of my friends is so describe "the red" to me, this is a story of men against women climb.

I dont think Yu Lianyou love, at least until the end, is never seen, the existence of love is a kind of noble, some people say that love is to protect a person, with the standards, obviously, the two affairs cannot be counted as love. Rainer lady fell in love with in the original, but to even want from Mrs DE rainer, just a kind of identity, status to improve the satisfaction and to conquer a better than they are objects of desire, and this is a period of an affair, so even if reluctantly said, at last the moment he sank in madame DE rainer of love, but because of the wrong start, so finally its hard to die well. Besides, he should because Mrs Think DE rainer damaged his and miss mathilde better future, just want to kill DE rainer, madam, it is conceivable that he just want to from beginning to end his own ambitions, not really into the love. For miss mathilde, he wanted to be with miss mathilde is completely was swept away by mathilde external initial originates from one kind of flesh, then mood, a kind of the more cant get more want to torture him. Mathilde had just put in even as a fantasy, mathilde hopes to repeat her worship of a romance, it is not love, at last she kissed in the death of the mans head, also be realize her wish.

I dont like the story of the red, only to see the truth in this story is that Mrs DE rainer for even the relationships we have, but because Mrs DE rainers identity, have never been in love, so when she hadnt really learn to analysis, fell in love with to connect. Of course, have to say, if after you fall in love with is analyzed, can be rational to treat may, it is not pure love.

To even this ambition to insist, perhaps many also struggle at the grassroots level, we not rich "relationship", part of the worth learning. But his selfishness, the excess and lost "sincere" that, absolutely is that we should abandon the part. We should learn to use the right way to realize their dreams.

红与黑》的男主人公叫于连,她的第一个情人是德莱纳夫人,第二个情人是马蒂尔德小姐。论身份地位来说,两任情人的身份都远远高于他。所以,我一个朋友是这样对我描述《红与黑》的,这就是一个男人靠着女人往上爬的故事。

我不认为于连有过爱情,至少直到结尾,也不曾见到过,爱情是一种高贵的存在,有人说,爱情是去守护一个人,用这个标准来说,显然,那两段情史都不能算作爱情。德莱纳夫人爱上了于连原本的样子,可是于连从德莱纳夫人身上想得到的只是一种身份,地位提高的满足感和征服一个比自己强的对象的征服欲,而且这是一段婚外情,所以哪怕勉强地说,最后那一刻他沉入了对德莱纳夫人的爱情,但是因为错误的开始,所以最后很难善终。况且,他竟然因为认为德莱纳夫人破坏了他和马蒂尔德小姐美好的未来,就想要杀了德莱纳夫人,可想而知,他从头到尾只想着自己的野心,并没有真正的投入到爱情中去。对于马蒂尔德小姐,他之所以想和马蒂尔德小姐在一起完全是被马蒂尔德的外在迷住了,初始来源于一种肉欲,后来一种越是得不到越想要的心情,狠狠地折磨了他。马蒂尔德只是把于连当作了一种幻想,马蒂尔德希望重复她崇拜的一段浪漫史,那也不是爱情,最后她亲吻了于连的死人头,也算是实现了她的愿望吧。

我不喜欢红与黑的故事,这个故事里唯一看到真情的就是,德莱纳夫人对于连的那份感情,可是由于德莱纳夫人的身份,还有从来没有陷入过爱情中,所以在她还没有真正的学会分析人的时候,就爱上了于连。当然,不得不说,如果分析了之后再爱上,能够被那么理智的对待的也许就不是纯真的爱情了。

于连这种对于野心的坚持,也许是不少还奋斗在基层,没有有钱人家的“关系”的我们,值得学习的一部分。但是他这种过度的自私,还有失去了“真心”这一点,绝对是我们应该摒弃的部分。我们应该学会用正确的方式实现自己的梦想。

“在种种艰辛和逆境中,他不断地完善自己,为贫穷和值得同情的人们献出了自己的人生”。

这就是《悲惨世界》的结尾,冉阿让和这个悲惨而又黑暗的世界告别了。但是,本性并不坏的冉阿让却深深地印在我的心中。

我手捧着维克多·雨果的代表作津津有味地看着:失业工人冉阿让因为生活贫因,偷了一块面包,被抓住监狱,他因多次逃狱,延长刑期。出狱后,冉阿让受教主的感化立志从善,他对许许多多的人做出了无数的贡献,对自己帮助过的人毫无所求,对犯了错误的人宽宏大量。终于他当上了事长。然而,历尽种种曲折又被抓进监狱……

当我读到这里时,我读不下去了,我的泪水夺眶而出,我深深地被感动了。这时我想起了一句话:“人非圣贤,孰能无过。”每个人都会犯错误,冉阿让也不例外,为什么,人们就不能像米里哀教主一样有一颗宽容的心,原谅他的过去呢?每个人都会犯错误,犯错误是人生必经之路,我们不应该将目光局限于犯错误的人身上,应该把目光放远一点,把心放宽一点。

这时,我不禁联想到自己。

记得那次去小姨家,我看到了小姨家的电视机上摆放着两只闪着银光的水晶天鹅摆设,觉得非常有趣,便伸手从电视机上取下来。“嘭……”水晶摆设竟然让我打碎了,当时因为没人在家,我以为这样就可以瞒天过海了,可是,这件事却被妈妈知道了,他拉着我,非要我和小姨道歉,妈妈把我拉到小姨跟前,要让我把事情的经过一五一十告诉小姨:“我…我…,小姨,对不起!”我低着头,不敢望小姨。“怎么啦?”小姨摸了摸我的头问,这时,我已经落泪了,眼泪不由地流下来。小姨知道了这件事后,并没有骂我,还表扬了我勇于承认错误是个好孩子……我又再次落泪了,我被小姨的那颗宽容的心所感动了。

感动是什么?感动是心灵深处涌起并波动全身每一条神经的震颤,是心弦在真善美的弹拨下奏出的美妙音乐,是平静的情感之湖投进一粒石子泛起的阵阵涟漪,是心与心的感应,是绚丽多彩的人性之光。我不正是被冉阿让,米里哀教主、小姨这些人物所感动吗?

于是要学会感动。

学会感动,让世人有一颗宽容的心。

学会感动,让世人不再冷漠。

学会感动,让世上充满光明,温暖……

篇3:刮痧英语读后感

When I was a freshman in college I watched the film Gua Sha Treatment for the first time, now I am a junior student and I come back to review the movie from a multicultural aspect, I have many different feelings after watching the film again.

At the beginning of the film, XuDatong is given an award and later he delivers a speech. What makes me impressed most is in his speech he says “one day I will become one of you, a truly successful American, today this award proved that America is a true land of opportunity and I am the living proof of that.” At that moment Xu thinks he has realized his American Dream totally with his lovingly wife and adorable son. However, I think it is ironical that to make a speech like that and I assume it is made on purpose to hind a clue for the story’s development. How many non-American people have such a beautiful American dream? One of my classmate studies in American now and before he went aboard he told me his American dream is he can stand at the top of the New York. To be honest, I also dream that one day I can get the Green Card living there happily and successfully maybe working at the Wall Street. When Xu gets the award he thinks he entirely melted in the melting pot neglecting the multicultural obstruct, later the plot goes against the way he thinks. And later Quinlan asked Xu ‘why you be the scapegoat of your father?’ Xu answers ‘because he is Chinese.’ Then maybe Xu knows that there is always a wide gap between Chinese and American cultures.

The second scene is Xu hit his son Denis because Denis hit the son of xu’s boss, at the middle of the film xu tells his boss that he hit his own son is only to show his respect to his boss John Quinlan, that time Quinlan feels puzzled “what a Chinese logic”, yes, American can never understand such a logic full of Chinese characteristic, because they respect everyone including the children, they won’t beat a child to please the boss, and there is no such a conception of degree between employee and employer, they feel everyone is equal, which is quite different from china.

Connected to the second scene, the third difference I want to analyze is the care for the children. In America, people pay more attention to the right of children which can be seen from the law—leaving children alone at home is illegal, while in China it is so common that almost everyone may experience such loneliness. And Children Welfare Agency does work in America which shows the importance Americans attach to children’s right. What’s more, I remember a line ‘No one won the case, especially the child.’ In my opinion, it also manifests the universal concern from the American public to the children.

The fourth aspect is following the procedure, in the film, more than there times, the people focus on the rule, the law, the procedure. At the Christmas Eve Xu wants to return back to his home pretending as a Santa Claus, what a pity, the security recognizes him and persuades ‘you are always a good tenement, never causes troubles for me.’ And another scene is at the end of the film , the judge says ‘I have to follow the procedure.’ However, in China people always have to ask for a favor to do something, and later you have to pay back the favor ,for myself, I prefer the American style, strict to the procedure.

The fifth and the last point is the humors, Quinlan says ‘you can’t fall, your health security is the company paid.’ ‘Datong, welcome home, maybe next time, you can come from the front door.’ ‘dady, why you come from the window’ ‘ because we don’t have a chimney.’ I really adore this distinguished American humor, especially in dangerous situations, which is quite rare in China.

That’s my whole reaction to Gua Sha Treatment.

I”d never given much thought to how I would die. But dying in the place of someone I love seems like a good way to go. " When reading such moving words, I am completely absorbed in this splendid novel --- Twilight. The person who had said such moving words was a 17-year-old girl --- Bella, who was a high school student. After reading the whole novel, what impresses me most is not the mysterious vampires family, but the kindhearted and brave girl --- Bella. Bella was a 17-year-old girl who has experienced her parents” divorce. In order not to be an obstacle to her mother”s happiness with her stepfather, Bella firmly chose to move into a new city --- Forks to live with her father. Even though she knew that what was waiting for her was the new and strange circumstance, Bella still decided to face all of them fearlessly, which makes me know that Bella is a really thoughtful and considerate girl.

As a matter of fact, Bella was just an ordinary human girl who would grow old as time went by and die one day, but Edward was an immortal vampire who had an exceptional and unique strength of reading people”s minds. Actually, some people may wonder why Edward would fall in love with such a delicate human girl, while others may hold a doubtful attitude towards their love story. However, to my mind, I strongly believe that Bella and Edward can lead a happy life. About one thing I am absolutely positive, they can lead a happy life and they needs to confront with various of hardships and setbacks. But why am I so positive about their love story? Let me have an analysis!

Bella is a kindhearted and independent girl who never goes with tide. She always sticks to her own way of doing everything. On her first day to school, Edward came across with Bella, and at that moment Edward could not move his eyes on Bella at his first sight on her. I clearly know that it was Bella”s unique and special character that drew Edward”s attention. In Edward”s mind, Bella was a natural girl with a kind heart. After several days” struggle, Edward could not prevent himself from caring about her and loving her though he knew perfectly well that it would be a fateful and deadly thing for a vampire to fall in love with a human girl. From this, it can be seemed that what a charismatic and glamorous girl Bella was.

When Edward said to Bella, "I don”t have the strength to stay away from you forever." I know, Edward had already been loving Bella deeply.

When Bella answered "I”ll be with you forever, Edward." I can realize their love has already been surpassed human in human”s innermost feelings.

When Edward said, "You don”t know how long I”ve waited for you, Bella" I know, Bella is the most suitable one for him, only with Bella can Edward gains the real happiness.

When Edward swore, "You”re my life now, Bella." I think all the lovers will be overwhelmed by such impressive words at that moment, as well as I. I know, from then on, Edward would move heaven and earth to protect Bella. There is no doubt that Bella is happy when being with Edward.

To be honest, Twilight is the best romance novel that I”ve ever read. There is no much flourish in it, but there are lots of touching and thrilling plots between Edward and Bella. I still remember every time Bella was in danger, Edward could helped her out in time, which made Bella feel so grateful and become interested in him gradually.

There was a time when Bella was on her way home from a bookstore alone, suddenly a gang of ruffians molested her, Bella felt helpless and hopeless. Fortunately, Edward appeared as a hero and rescued the beauty, Bella. At that moment, I couldn”t help praising, that Edward was such a thoughtful gentleman who cares about the person he loves at any time. No wonder Bella would love him.

Then when Edward told Bella he had a super strength that he could read every person”s mind except Bella”s one. You can not imagine that, Bella”s first reaction to it was --- "Is there something wrong with me?" Hearing that, Edward smiled and said, "I tell you I can read minds, and you think there is something wrong with you." At that time, Edward knew Bella was a kind girl indeed, who would not be worried and scared when hearing such unusual truth, but just try to find the mistakes of herself.

Once Edward took Bella to his home to meet his family members, instead of being afraid, Bella asked Edward what if his families didn”t like her. Edward was so surprise to hear that and said to Bella, "you are worried not because you”ll be in a house full of vampires, but because you think they won”t approve of you? " Then, I know, Bella has never treated Edward as a different kind. May I ask, how can Edward refuse such a kind and lovely girl. When Edward took Bella to fly through the forest in his amazing speed, I think no more girls can refuse such a romantic man.

Bella pursued the true love belong to her bravely, while Edward was giving all his love to the one he loved. I know this is love.

All in all, romantic love always has a happy ending. When Bella went through life and death, when Edward experienced the cruel ordeal, seeing they were dancing romantically at last, I can say their love will be going on.

Aunt wave sent him to a good school, accept education. He exert themselves in the predicament, hard work, with the nature of his kind, helpful, not only in career success, also obtained the success in life.

After reading the book touched me the most is the hero David his face life after suffering no escape. Because he knew that escape is a tasteless struggles.

His strong inspired me no matter how many difficulties should be the front of the strong, think method to solve. I used to have this experience: "obstacle", encountered in the learning circumstances as soon as he was the first idea is to consult teachers and classmates, and furthermore, is to give up. Never thought your hands and your mind to solve the problem, never thought that success is the real success.

The book touched me deeply, I like David strong and optimistic in the future. Hope the spirit of David Copperfield in readers hearts forever.

这本书里描写了栩栩如生的人物形象。有善良纯朴的老保姆辟果提,有恬静聪明的艾妮斯,有貌似严肃却又有着菩萨心肠的姨波,有凶狠残暴、奸诈的摩德斯通姐弟俩,还有阴险狡诈的希谱……

大卫·科波菲尔出生之前,他的父亲就不幸去世了。母亲在大会七岁的时候改嫁。大卫的继父是一个凶狠贪婪的家伙,姐姐是一个不尽情理的人。他们虐待大卫,还把大卫的母亲折磨至死,大卫的继父逼着大为当童工,大卫有幸逃了出来,去投奔了好心的姨婆。姨波把他送进了一所好学校,接受教育。他在困境中奋发向上,刻苦努力,凭借着他的善良、乐于助人的本性,不仅在事业上获得的成功,同时也获得了生活上的成功。

读完这本书令我感动最深的是主人公大卫他面对人生的苦难后不逃避。因为他知道逃避就是一种无味的挣扎。

他的坚强启发了我不管遇到多少困难都应该坚强的前面对,想方法去解决。我曾经有过这样的经历:在学习中遇到“拦路虎”,便马上唉声叹气,第一个想法便是请教老师和同学,再者就是放弃。从没有想过好自己的双手和自己的头脑去解决问题,没想过那样的成功才是真正的成功。

这本书深深地打动了我,使我今后像大卫一样坚强、乐观。希望大卫·科波菲尔的精神永远留在读者心中。

在小孩的眼中,世界是美好的,是童真的,是五彩缤纷的。然而,雨果笔下却描写了一个悲惨的世界。

主人公冉阿让因饥饿偷了一块面包度过了整整19年的苦役犯生活。在这漫长的19中,冉阿让就像是掉进了大海里的船员一般,孤立无援,在他身边的只有无尽的黑暗……他开始变得粗暴、冷漠。然而让他改过自新的却是这个天使般的人物——卞福汝主教。他真诚地招待冉阿让,使冉阿让的心灵感到了温暖和光明。在灰暗心灵的促使下,冉阿让还是偷了主教的银器。主教并没有惩罚他,而是主动将两个银烛台也全部送给了他。当烛台射出光芒时,爱的烛光也射进了冉阿让的心里,他从此隐姓埋名,开始了自己新的历程……

其中,令我印象最深的是冉阿让和卞福汝主教了,我从他们身边还受到了不少的启发呢!

冉阿让虽然一开始粗暴冷漠,但他后来改过自新,用善意的眼光看待世界,热心帮助每一个人,懂得用自己的行动来报答卞福汝主教,并将感恩之情储存在心灵深处,再用它们来温暖世界。这都让我倍受感动,我从冉阿让身上学到了:用一颗爱心来对待世界,世界就会变得更美好。

卞福汝更是一个天使般的人物。因为他懂得人人都有善良的一面,要抓住人的内心,用爱的力量来感化他,再凶恶的人也会变得善良。从卞福汝身上我意识到了:人之初,性本善,再坏的人也有善良的一面,我们不能去排挤他,要用自己的爱去感化他。只要人人都献出一点爱,世界就会变成美好的人间!

Santiago, an old man about sixty years old, fished alone with nothing caught in eighty four days. No one would like to talk to him for his extremely bad luck except a boy who always came to help after the day and finally left to another boat under the pressure of his parents. Ignoring the contempt from the younger fishermen and sympathy from the older, on the morning of the 85th day, the old man started his fishing with determination and rowed his old boat very far in the sea where he believed there would be big fish. Fortunately the old man met with a big fish as he had wished and finally defeated the big Marlin with two days and nights struggle after overcoming great difficulties. But more unfortunately there were many sharks coming after his boat attracted by the smell of the blood of the big Marlin. After death-and-life struggle, when he finally got rid of the sharks coming after the boat, the big Marlin was bare skeleton.

The Old Man and the Sea tells a frustrated experience of the old man who fishes alone in the sea in plain languages. Through the simple lines, a “tough guy” image is shaped and heroism is praised. The whole story starts with a peaceful beginning which is some trivial of life and talking with the boy, and suddenly turns to its climax which is the dangerous fighting with the big fish and sharks alone in the sea, and ends with the old man’s return with the bare skeleton of the big Marlin. Though the boy only appears at the beginning and the ending in the novel, he plays an indispensible role, it is his inspiring and supporting that helps the old man to be “graceful under heavy pressure”.

In the book, the old man prepared his fishing properly and preciously than any other fishermen so that “Then when luck comes you are ready” as the old man thought to himself. In reality, some of us keep complaining that they are born in wrong time or good luck never knocks their doors. In fact, good luck sometimes just comes when they are not ready. Taking Newton for example, if he had not acquired a lot, millions of apples could never make him discovery the gravity. So if we just keep studying as much as we can, good luck will finally find us and a bright future is ahead of us. The old man never gives up hope. When all of people think he is doomed, he still strongly believes that he will get a big fish. And he does. So never giving up hope is very important to us. This reminded me of the sentence in Churchill’s speech “Never give up, never, never, never…”. “But man is not made for defeat. A man can be destroyed but not defeated” has always been inspiring me when I counter with some setbacks in my life. Setbacks are inevitable in pursuit of our goals, but we should never be frustrated and should be “graceful under heavy pressure” like the old man. It is his relentless pursuit that contributes to the victory.

篇20:老人与海英语读后感

全文共 9113 字

When I was a middle school student, I’ve finished this book in Chinese.But when I read it in English,I really gain something new both in the way of expression and the spirit it shows to us.May be different ages to read the same book we will learn different things from it.At least, for my part, that is true.

Firstly,I would like to review some information about this book.Such as the background,major characters and the topic of it.

The Old Man and the Sea is a story by Ernest Hemingway, written in Cuba in 1951 and published in 1952. It was the last major work of fiction to be produced by Hemingway and published in his lifetime. One of his most famous works, it centers upon Santiago, an aging Cuban fisherman who struggles with a giant marlin far out in the Gulf Stream.

The Old Man and the Sea served to reinvigorate Hemingways literary reputation and prompted a reexamination of his entire body of work. The novella was initially received with much popularity; it restored many readers confidence in Hemingways capability as an author. Its publisher, Scribners, on an early dust jacket, called the novella a "new classic," and many critics favorably compared it with such works as William Faulkners "The Bear" and Herman Melvilles Moby-Dick.

This book gives me a deep impression especially the description about the man’s braveness and persistence.

In this book, in order to suggest the profundity of the old man’s sacrifice and the glory that derives from it, Hemingway purposefully likens Santiago to Christ, who, according to Christian theology, gave his life for the greater glory of humankind. Crucifixion imagery is the most noticeable way in which Hemingway creates the symbolic parallel between Santiago and Christ. When Santiago’s palms are first cut by his fishing line, the reader cannot help but think of Christ suffering his stigmata. Later, when the sharks arrive, Hemingway portrays the old man as a crucified martyr, saying that he makes a noise similar to that of a man having nails driven through his hands. Furthermore, the image of the old man struggling up the hill with his mast across his shoulders recalls Christ’s march toward Calvary. Even the position in which Santiago collapses on his bed—face down with his arms out straight and the palms of his hands up—brings to mind the image of Christ suffering on the cross. Hemingway employs these images in the final pages of the novella in order to link Santiago to Christ, who exemplified transcendence by turning loss into gain, defeat into triumph, and even death into renewed life.

The major characters in this book are also vivid and lively.

Santiago?,the old man of the novella’s title, Santiago is a Cuban fisherman who has had an extended run of bad luck. Despite his expertise, he has been unable to catch a fish for eighty-four days. He is humble, yet exhibits a justified pride in his abilities. His knowledge of the sea and its creatures, and of his craft, is unparalleled and helps him preserve a sense of hope regardless of circumstance.

The marlin?,Santiago hooks the marlin, which we learn at the end of the novella measures eighteen feet, on the first afternoon of his fishing expedition. Manolin?,a boy presumably in his adolescence, Manolin is Santiago’s apprentice and devoted attendant. The old man first took him out on a boat when he was merely five years old. Due to Santiago’s recent bad luck, Manolin’s parents have forced the boy to go out on a different fishing boat. Manolin, however, still cares deeply for the old man, to whom he continues to look as a mentor.

Joe DiMaggio, although DiMaggio never appears in the novel, he plays a significant role nonetheless. Santiago worships him as a model of strength and commitment, and his thoughts turn toward DiMaggio whenever he needs to reassure himself of his own strength. Perico ?,Perico, the reader assumes, owns the bodega in Santiago’s village. He never appears in the novel, but he serves an important role in the fisherman’s life by providing him with newspapers that report the baseball scores. This act establishes him as a kind man who helps the aging Santiago.

Martin,like Perico, Martin, a café owner in Santiago’s village, does not appear in the story. The reader learns of him through Manolin, who often goes to Martin for Santiago’s supper. As the old man says, Martin is a man of frequent kindness who deserves to be repaid.

From the very first paragraph, Santiago is characterized as someone struggling against defeat. He has gone eighty-four days without catching a fish—he will soon pass his own record of eighty-seven days. Almost as a reminder of Santiago’s struggle, the sail of his skiff resembles “the flag of permanent defeat.” But the old man refuses defeat at every turn: he resolves to sail out beyond the other fishermen to where the biggest fish promise to be. He lands the marlin, tying his record of eighty-seven days after a brutal three-day fight, and he continues to ward off sharks from stealing his prey, even though he knows the battle is useless.

Because Santiago is pitted against the creatures of the sea, some readers choose to view the tale as a chronicle of man’s battle against the natural world, but the novella is, more accurately, the story of man’s place within nature. Both Santiago and the marlin display qualities of pride, honor, and bravery, and both are subject to the same eternal law: they must kill or be killed. As Santiago reflects when he watches the weary warbler fly toward shore, where it will inevitably meet the hawk, the world is filled with predators, and no living thing can escape the inevitable struggle that will lead to its death. Santiago lives according to his own observation: “man is not made for defeat . . . [a] man can be destroyed but not defeated.” In Hemingway’s portrait of the world, death is inevitable, but the best men (and animals) will nonetheless refuse to give in to its power. Accordingly, man and fish will struggle to the death, just as hungry sharks will lay waste to an old man’s trophy catch.

The novel suggests that it is possible to transcend this natural law. In fact, the very inevitability of destruction creates the terms that allow a worthy man or beast to transcend it. It is precisely through the effort to battle the inevitable that a man can prove himself. Indeed, a man can prove this determination over and over through the worthiness of the opponents he chooses to face. Santiago finds the marlin worthy of a fight, just as he once found “the great negro of Cienfuegos” worthy. HSantiago, though destroyed at the end of the novella, is never defeated. Instead, he emerges as a hero. Santiago’s struggle does not enable him to change man’s place in the world. Rather, it enables him to meet his most dignified destiny.

While it is certainly true that Santiago’s eighty-four-day run of bad luck is an affront to his pride as a masterful fisherman, and that his attempt to bear out his skills by sailing far into the gulf waters leads to disaster, Hemingway does not condemn his protagonist for being full of pride. On the contrary, Santiago stands as proof that pride motivates men to greatness. Because the old man acknowledges that he killed the mighty marlin largely out of pride, and because his capture of the marlin leads in turn to his heroic transcendence of defeat, pride becomes the source of Santiago’s greatest strength. Without a ferocious sense of pride, that battle would never have been fought, or more likely, it would have been abandoned before the end.

Santiago’s pride also motivates his desire to transcend the destructive forces of nature. Throughout the novel, no matter how baleful his circumstances become, the old man exhibits an unflagging determination to catch the marlin and bring it to shore. When the first shark arrives, Santiago’s resolve is mentioned twice in the space of just a few paragraphs. Even if the old man had returned with the marlin intact, his moment of glory, like the marlin’s meat, would have been short-lived. The glory and honor Santiago accrues comes not from his battle itself but from his pride and determination to fight.

Santiago dreams his pleasant dream of the lions at play on the beaches of Africa three times. The first time is the night before he departs on his three-day fishing expedition, the second occurs when he sleeps on the boat for a few hours in the middle of his struggle with the marlin, and the third takes place at the very end of the book. In fact, the sober promise of the triumph and regeneration with which the novella closes is supported by the final image of the lions. Because Santiago associates the lions with his youth, the dream suggests the circular nature of life. Additionally, because Santiago imagines the lions, fierce predators, playing, his dream suggests a harmony between the opposing forces—life and death, love and hate, destruction and regeneration—of nature.

This book gives me courage of conquering all kinds of difficulties .And I have the belief that the most beautiful thing is the process that we make our best to achieve our dream,and never say give up .
