Dear Tony,

Chong yang, the traditional Chinese festival for the elderly, is coming around. We are planning to visit

Nursing Home to celebrate the special day, and we would like to invite students from your school to join us.

We have planned several activities. When we get there, we will visit the elderly in their rooms in groups,

presenting them with flowers and self-made cards to show our respect and love. Then we will do some

cleaning and washing for them wi th the help of the nurses.

As some old people feel lonely, we may chat with them about their old days, changes of our city, or

anything they are interested in. We may also give them some performances: singing, dancing, and so on.

I am sure we will both gain a better understanding of the elderly in China. If you have any suggestions,

please let us know.

Looking forward to your early reply.

Yours,

Li Hua

times, is wearing an apron and preparing delicious meals with my mother in the

kitchen. Grandpa and grandma, Grandpa and grandma were chatting, drinking tea

and eating snacks in the living room. I listened to laughter after laughter, and

my heart was warm.

How could I forget such an important festival? I carefully took out the

prepared cards and put them in their hands. Grandpa and grandpa like smoking,

but I cant afford it without money! I drew a cigarette and wrote: "smoking is

harmful. Im in a good mood. I cant live without one a day." "good! Good!" the

two grandfathers boasted happily. The impatient grandmother said, "take it out

quickly and let me see what surprise it will give me?" I gave the card with

fashionable clothes to grandma. It said: "although the clothes are small, my

granddaughters heart is on it." grandma held the card and hugged me tightly. I

gave grandma cards with many delicious food. Grandma always gave us what we ate.

They held the card tightly in their hands and said happily, "those who know us,

granddaughter! Good! Good! No white pain!"

[小学英语日记之帮助老人

今天，我把《老人与海》这一本书读完了，这一本书主要讲了一位老人在海上钓鱼，可他一连84没有钓上一条鱼。

其实这本书我读完后，并没有完全理解这本书的意思，于是我就问了妈妈，妈妈就又给我讲了一遍，我才明白了一些。

老人一连84天没有任何收获，可是他没有放弃，仍然不停的给自己加油鼓劲，最后他决定去深海里捕捉一条大大的鱼，于是他就出发了。最后虽然他钓到了一条好大的鱼，但在在往回返的时候却被大鲨鱼给吃光了，只留下了一条巨大的鱼骨头。他很伤心。

看完这本书，我心里有点难过。我觉得老人很可怜。

我今天读了《老人与海》这本书，它讲的故事令我非常感动。

老人在八十一天没有捕到鱼之后，他终于捕到了一只剑鱼。可是，在他回来的路上，他遇到了一只鲨鱼，他与鲨鱼搏斗一场，最后，老人失去了他捕到的剑鱼，他又空手而归了。

老人永不言败的精神感动了我，在他与鲨鱼搏斗时说：“你可以杀死一个人，但你永远不可以打败他”。老人宁死不屈的精神让我为之震撼，我又想起了司马迁，他也没放弃自己的生命，终于写成了《史记》；我又想起了张海迪，她瘫痪在床，但还是用吉它歌唱自己的人生；我还想起贝多芬，他双目失明，双耳失聪，却写出了9部交响曲……

我终于明白自己平常生活中，无论遇到怎样的困难都不能放弃，要坚持，这样才能成功。

The Old Man and the Sea is one of Hemingways most enduring works and may very well become one of the true classics of this generation. It played a great part in his winning the Pulizer Prize in 1953 and the 1954 Novel Prize for Literature and confirmed his power and presence in the literary world. Hemingway is also one of my favorite writers. Besides The Old Man And the Sea, I have read some of his other works, such as The Sun Also Rises, A Farewell to Arms and The Snow of Kilimanijaro. But The Old Man and the Sea is the one that left the deepest impression on me.

I first read this book when I was in my fifteens. And now I remember it just as well as if I had read it yesterday.

On summer vacation of this year, I studied in novel " old man and sea " of Hemingway , famous writer of U.S.A. ,. I admire the old fishermans will in the novel very much, he lets me understand that a person must have unremitting spirit, could succeed . What the novel is described is an old fisherman almost the sixty years old, when go to sea and fish alone once, have angled to a big fish, but can not draw. After tough fisherman and fish have socialized for a few days, just find this is a big Malins fish which exceeds several times of ones own fishing boat, though know perfectly well that it is very difficult to win , does not give up yet. Because big Malin fish fishlike smell of wound attract odd herds of shark vie for the food again later, but the old man is still unwilling to give up like this, stress the tight encirclement finally , take the large fish back to fishing port , let other fishmen admire it endlessly. The old fisherman thinks that as I read ": It is really too close from here to coast, perhaps there are bigger fish in the farther place ……" When,admire very much because this old fisherman in the persons, because play not for some fishing he already at this moment I, but he is not satisfied with the existing state of affairs , but advance towards greater goal. Seeing us again, meet some little difficulties at ordinary times , all of us complain bitterly. We are the future of the motherland, should be as ambitious as this old man, go to pursue well , greater goal. Read as me " big Malin fish is it enclose light fishing boat move about , is it get mast to twine cable fast to begin, old man right hand hold steel fork high , jump out in a flash , affording to try ones best above water in it, a sound of wail has finished the life of the loud fish, it floats on the surface of water silently ……"When,the I one heart is too fall like pieces of stone not big. I admire that kind of fearing of the old man at all , unremitting spirit very much, though know rivals strength is very strong , but he has not shrunk back at all , meets the difficulty. Just because there is this kind of spirit, the old fisherman has obtained the victory of the trial of strength of this life and death. We should study the old fishermans spirit too in life, do the thing and is not afraid of the difficulty , could achieve success . Read big blood offensive smell of fish smell one shark , fall over each other to visit to vie for the food, left hand of old man pull a muscle just, he can only use right hand, can weapon attacked to used for defend oneself with stick , mouth of swordfish that catch everything, and has driven away this herd of shark finally. But big meat of fish take into big half already, but old man criticize ones own left hand " when the work this when have a rest " humorously also, I am subdued by old mans optimistic spirit too. In life, some losses are unavoidable, we should treat the optimistic attitude , cant worry about petty gain or loss . Finally, the novel sees with a teenager that old fisherman has 18 feet of big long Malins fish totally in the tolerance , the ones that have described this fish are enormous again, prove that old fishermans difficulty overcome is big, than ordinary. Old fishermans spirit that makes great efforts to struggle fearless of danger and difficulty that the novel has been extolled, we should be like him too, can t be satisfied with the current situation , should be positive upwards, it should be unremitting to do anything, it must not give up halfway to meeting difficulty should meet the difficulty. Only in this way, we could obtain greater success and victory .

The double ninth festival is also the old man festival, we should do something to respect. I prepare for raising I grow up grandpa bubble a cup of Longjing tea is sweet and delicious.

I first take out the Longjing tea from the cupboard, caught with the hand a little tea in the cup. Then less than half a cup of hot water in the cup, shake the cup, such as water becomes a little yellow, pour out the water, pour a full cup of hot water. Gradually, the tea began to float, and slowly sinking. Tea doll really naughty, they sometimes in the middle of the glass float to fall away, some play slowly rising in the "air", and thus sleeping in the bottom of a glass! The water in the cup a bit yellow. I wait for a while, the tea is yellow and red now, at this moment, a fragrance drill straight into my nose.

Tea is ready, I carefully with Longjing tea came to grandpa, to grandpa said: "grandpa, thank you to raise me from the boys to the age of four, you made a lot of things for me, today, would you please to have a taste I have bubble tea!" Grandpa was very happy, hurriedly took a mouthful and stroked my head and said: "very delicious, snow is great!"

I think: grandpa always cherished to me, I also want to care about more later grandpa.

"One hundred years of solitude" is known as "Latin American history of literature in the vision of the society". It is the representative work of gabriel Garcia marquez, is the representative work of Latin American magic realism literature. After reading, the book morbid alone, for a variety of abnormal personality, floating in my around, for a long time not to go.

The characters in the book, Mr ASHLEY boone, emperor, this is a diligent, pragmatic, creative people. But because hes fascination with science and knowledge, wrongly, alchemy, god copperplate picture... He was completely insane, so he is a lonely.

His wife Ursula is a woman of flashing mother all good quality. In my opinion, she is the family foundation. The whole book is her busy figure, this womans body with another kind of loneliness.

I think the book is the most sad figures boone was the second son of Mr LeiLiangNuo. He launched numerous armed uprising, but all failed. Fortunately, life is very big, escaped the ambush, assassination, and shot, stubbornly survived. But alive may be biggest torture to him. He became fascinated by doing small goldfish, kept on doing repeatedly, as for alchemy obsession.

The characters in the book is filled with loneliness. Perhaps this is the author wants to express to us, the family of autism has brought the whole family. Similarly, the feelings without communication, a lack of trust and understanding of family also symbolizes the society at that time. Perhaps the author is to express myself in the book of Latin American national unity together, to get rid of loneliness.

《百年孤独》被誉为“再现拉丁美洲历史社会图景的鸿篇之著”。它是加西亚·马尔克斯的代表作，也是拉丁美洲魔幻现实主义文学作品的代表作。读完，书中病态的孤独，形形色色的畸形人格，漂浮在我的四周，久而不去。

书中的人物霍·阿·布恩帝亚本是一个勤恳务实、富有创造力的人。但由于他错误地对科学和求知痴迷，炼金术，上帝铜版照片……他完全发了疯，所以他是个孤独者。

他的妻子乌苏拉是个闪烁着母亲一切美好品质的妇女。在我看来，她其实就是这个家族的地基。整部书都是她忙碌的身影，这个女人的身上拥有着另一种孤独感。

我想全书最悲哀的人物莫过于布恩帝亚的次子奥雷良诺了。他发动了无数次的武装起义，却都无果。所幸命很大，躲过了埋伏、暗杀以及枪决，顽强地活了下来。但活下来也许才是对他最大的折磨。他痴迷于做小金鱼，反复不停地做，就如同对于炼金术的痴迷。

书中的人物无不充斥着孤独感。这也许正是作者想要对我们表达的，这个家族的孤独性给整个家族带来了毁灭。同样，这个没有感情沟通，缺乏信任和了解的家族也象征了当时的社会。或许作者正以此书来表达自己对拉美民族共同团结，摆脱孤独的强烈愿望。

Today, I read a famous American writer Ernest Hemingways novel "the old man and the sea", the book left a deep impression on me, I very admire book old fishermans will, he let me know how a person must have unremitting spirit, could succeed.

On the description of the old man and the sea is a nearly sixty years old fisherman, in a single sea, caught a big fish, but do not go up. Old fisherman with the fish have a few days later, only to find that this is a more than his fishing boat several times of the big marlin, while knowing that it is difficult to win, but still dont give up. Later, because of the big marlin wound fishy drew several group of sharks eat, but the old man wouldnt give up, so eventually break through, will be a big fish bones back to fishing port, let other fishermen to admire.

When I read my grandfather during a fierce battle with the sharks, I really worry about my grandfather, grandfather, however, is always the spirit of optimism to face some great difficulties, see here, I couldnt help think of yourself. When I met with some difficulties, I always feel very frustrated, feel very tired, really want to escape from reality. Look again at Santiago ALGOL grandpa, undeterred by whether encounter any difficulty, but bravely to face!

Life should also such, dont look like a picture of a death, want to have confidence in myself. Even if we encounter difficulties, should not let it to beat, should bravely to destroy it.

We are the future of our motherland, should be like Santiago aspiring ALGOL grandfather, to the pursuit of better, bigger targets. I believe that with my efforts, I will become like Santiago ALGOL grandpa so brave, so brave to fight.

今天，我读了美国著名作家海明威的小说《老人与海》，这本书给我留下了深刻的印象，我十分佩服书中老渔夫的意志，他让我懂得了一个人一定要有坚持不懈的精神，才能获得成功。

《老人与海 》描写的是一个年近六旬的老渔夫，在一次单身出海打鱼时，钓到了一条大鱼，却拉不上来。老渔夫同大鱼周旋了几天后，才发现这是一条超过自己渔船数倍的大马林鱼，虽然明知难以取胜，但仍不放弃。后来又因大马林鱼伤口上的鱼腥味引来了几群鲨鱼抢食，但老人不愿这样放弃，最终突出重围，将大鱼的骨头带回了渔港，让其他渔夫佩服不已。

当我读到爷爷与鲨鱼进行激烈的搏斗时，我真为爷爷担心，可是爷爷，总是保持着乐观的精神去面对一些极大的困难，看到这里，我不由得想起自己。每当我遇到了一些困难时，总是觉得很不顺心，觉得很烦，很想逃避现实。再看看桑提阿果爷爷，不管遇到任何困难也毫不退缩，而是勇敢地去面对!

做人也应该这样，不要一幅贪生怕死的样子，要对自己有信心。即使我们遇到重重困难，也绝不应该让它给打倒，应该勇敢地去消灭它。

我们是祖国的未来，应该像桑提阿果爷爷一样胸怀大志，去追求更好，更大的目标。我相信，在我的努力下，我一定会变得像桑提阿果爷爷那样勇敢，那样勇于拼搏。

The Double Ninth Festival is coming. Every family is busy preparing for the

Double Ninth Festival. My home is no exception. Look, my father is making

Chongyang cake, my mother is making Chongyang wine, and my grandparents are

cooking. As for me, of course, its backup support - preparing materials for

grandparents.

After a while, I ran sweating. Watching my grandparents and parents cooking

food, I was a little jealous. Why can they make food, I cant. Watch me cook a

dish to impress them. So I sneaked to my grandparents and took some materials.

Without looking at them, I poured them into the pot. I picked up the spatula and

began to fry. But when I was frying, I felt something wrong. I always felt that

a strange smell floated around in the air. I looked into the pot. It turned out

that the materials I took were chocolate sauce and eggs, and fried them into

chocolate flavored eggs. My grandmother wanted to put materials into the pot.

When the eggs and chocolate sauce were gone, she called me, "Congcong, buy me

some materials. Im short of eggs and chocolate sauce." well, I thought in my

heart, so I had to tell the story again.

So I told the story in detail. Grandma laughed and said, "congcongcong,

grandma, Ill teach you a dish, but I want to buy some materials. I dont know

if youd like to?" "of course I do!" as I said, I ran out of the house quickly

and bought materials back. "This dish is called God robbery. Its done like

this: smash the eggs, put the beaten eggs into the mold, pour some water, put

the gluten into the mold, put some small chocolate on it, and then heat it in

the microwave for 10 minutes." who knows, its not done well this time, but its

made into something full of water.

The second time, just like the last time. Just when I was ready to give up,

I saw the spiders outside. I thought: since the spiders web is broken, the

spider can still weave again. Spiders have such a persistent spirit, why cant

I? So I started the third time. I did every step carefully and finally did the

God robbery. I took a bite. It was delicious.

This time, let me taste not

only the sweetness in my mouth, but also the sweetness in my heart.

we’re like the cream. when the cream rises to the top, it separates itself from the milk. perhaps that is what the new age movement is really all about.we find ourselves lonely at the top. yes, it is.

我们就像奶油。当奶油浮到顶部的时候，它会和牛奶分离。也许这种现象正像是新世纪运动的写照。我们发现自己飞得越高，就会越感孤独。是的，这就是现实。

it is no different with political enlightenment, spiritual enlightenment, or even becoming enlightened about relating to each other. the more mentally healthy you become, the more spiritual, the more balanced, the wealthier, the more global you become… the more alone you may feel.

不论是政治或精神修养的造诣有多深，或者甚至是与他人之间有一种默契的关系，就孤独这一点而言，是没有区别的。你越是拥有健康有理智，精神修养的造诣越深，生活越平衡，越富有，或你的名气传播得越广，你也会感觉越孤独。

often, we find ourselves unable to find those other rare individuals who are choosing the same path as ours. the path of sloppy and lazy is full of other people to meet and talk to. the path of whiners is full. the path of being safe, generic, and boring is so crowded you almost cannot even move forward. isn’t that why you left that path? you had a need to move forward, a need for some elbowroom, a need to spread your arms wide, a need to be seen as special, unique, different. the masses may admire you, but they are not going to be able to really relate to you. you will be alone much of the time.

经常，我们很难找到那些选择我们和我们同路的人们。那条潮湿，慵懒的道路挤满了可以相遇并聊天的人。那条满是牢骚者的道路上也拥挤不堪。那条所谓安全，普通以及枯燥的道路是如此拥挤以至于你无法向前挪步。难道这不正是你离开那条道路的原因吗?你需要

向前挪步，需要活动的空间，需要展开你的双臂，需要被认知为特别，有个性，与众不同。万千大众仰慕你，但他们却不可能真正地融入你。大部分的时间里，你将是孤独的。

do not be afraid of the loneliness of enlightenment. do not force others to agree with you. simply give your heart and know that you are growing and that they are free to grow or not. it is the nature of the game. we are all free to choose our paths.

不要害怕因造诣深而产生的孤独感。不必要勉强别人赞识你。做你自己，坚定着你自己的成长，别人是否愿意成长就由他们自己去决定吧。这就是自然界的规则。我们都有选择自己道路的自由。

During the SARS period in this spring, the year of 2003, one of my classmates, Li ming, was struck down by the virus and was immediately sent to hospital.

The news spread quickly on campus. At first, we were terrified and wondered if we were infected too. However, through our governments publicity on mass media, we gradually conquered the fear and set out to try out best to help her. Some teachers provided darly necessities while some students recorded the English class contents for him so that Li ming could not be left behind. With our care and concern, Li ming recovered quickly.

Such an incident teaches us a good moral. Our society is full of love, warm and peaceful, in which people-from man to woman, from individual to individual-lend others a hand. Just like a famous song goes, "the world will turn it to heaven only if everyone contributes a little." and I do believe that its my great honor to live in this love-filled paradise!

The old man and the sea mainly tells the story: an old fisherman for eighty-four days without fish, met with a giant marlin on the sea. After three days and three nights of struggle, the old man finally killed the big marlin, but he on the way home, but being attacked by a shark, when he returned, the big marlin only fish head fish left.

This story, but tell the immortal hero, although the old man fails, but thats just the sort of strength and a failure of the body, of his confidence and hope that it is impossible to burst. "People are not born for defeat. A man can be destroyed, but can not be one to beat! This is a tough guy spirit!" A very valuable spirit!

《老人与海》主要讲述了：一位老渔夫连续八十四天没有捕到鱼的情况下，在大海上遇到了一条巨大的马林鱼。经过了三天三夜的较量，老人终于杀死了大马林鱼，可他返航的途中 ，却被鲨鱼袭击了，当他返回时，那条大马林鱼只剩下鱼头鱼尾了。

这篇故事，却讲出不朽的英雄的主义，虽然老人失败了，但那只是那种力气和肉体上的一次失败，他的信心与希望是不可能破灭的。“人不是为了失败而生的。一个人可以被毁灭，但是不可以被人给打败!这是硬汉精神!”一种十分可贵的精神!

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 .

开始，老人先是准备了几天，然后划船离开码头。几天后，他找到合适的地点钓起鱼来。可令他非常意外的事情发生了，他捕到一条大鱼，然而当天，他没办法把那条鱼拉上来，因为鱼太大太有力量了。就这样，一场较量开始了。连继二天，他们都在拉来拉去。到了第三天，较量终于以老人获胜结束了。老人发现那条大鱼竟然比老人的船还长，老人决定把那条大鱼绑在船舷上返航。可一件非常不幸的事发生了，途中鲨鱼开始吃那条鱼。就这样，老人和鲨鱼战斗起来。每天，老人都要打死一些鲨鱼，虽然很残酷，可要保住这条鱼又有什么办法呢。

最终，鱼肉被鲨鱼吃光了，只剩下骨架，老人被打败了。然而他休息了几天，又准备出海打鱼了。

今天，我看了一本书，它的名字叫做《老人与海》，这本书是美国的海明威写的，这本书的主人公叫做桑提阿果爷爷，就让我给你们讲讲这个故事吧！

小说的素材来自于真正的故事：桑提阿果爷爷独自在海上打鱼，他已经有好久没钓到一条鱼了，有一天，一只大鱼咬住了他的鱼钩，桑提阿果爷爷想把它拉上来，可拉不动，那条鱼带着桑提阿果爷爷一直游啊游，大鱼游得精疲力尽了，桑提阿果爷爷把大鱼的鱼头和上半身绑在小船边上。但是桑提阿果爷爷在回去的路上遇到了鲨鱼，老人使出了浑身力气和鲨鱼搏斗，鲨鱼把能吃到的鱼肉都吃了，回到家时，大鱼只剩下不到一半，却还有800磅左右。

这本书让我受益匪浅。桑提阿果爷爷不被任何困难所压服，尽自己最大的努力与生活中的磨难做不屈不挠的斗争。他说：“一个人并不是生来就要给打败的，你尽可以消灭他，却不能打败他。”这种永不言败的硬骨头精神深深地刻在了我的心上，有也要像桑提阿果爷爷那样，永不言败。
