1、'.Reading ReportofThe Old Man and the SeaRecently I have read The Old Man and the Sea, I was deeply moved by the old man and his spirit.The author of the book Ernest Hemingway is one of the most famous American novelist, short-story writer and essayist. The Old Man and the Seawas written in 1951

2、 in Cuba, and published in 1952 and won the Pulitzer Prize for fiction in 1953 and he won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1954.

At first, a boy named Manolion had been with him, butSantiagocatch even one fish. The boy had gone at hi

4、sparents orders in a lucky boat which caught three good fish the first week. Santiago is a very old Cuban fisherman, even he had been unable to catch a single fish fortotally eight-four days. He didn tgive up. he made his decision that he should fish again to get over the unlucky time. And he held t

5、he belief that;.'.he could do it and he would be lucky enough to fish, but meanwhile, heshould go to deeper waters. On the 85th day, he caught a massive marlin. But after two days and nights' fierce and toug h fighting, the old man was only to bring back a large colossal marlin skel eton, a

6、worn-out boat, and his exhausted body. But he still be appreciated.I believe everybody who has read the book must admire Santiagosperseverance.When I read“the senior fisherman think: Here to the seaco ast really was too near, perhaps could have a bigger fish in a farther place.” I extremely admire t

7、his senior fisherman, because he by now already projected on some fish, but he had not settled to the present situation, but was approaches the bigger goal advance.When I read“ the big marli n start fast to gather round the young fishing boat hover, twined the cable on the mast, the old person right

9、he relentless spirit, although knows the match strength is very strong, but he not slightly flinches, but is welcomes difficultly ab ove. There is no doubt that he is great, because he never gave up in the face of difficulties that he showed great endurance in his battle against the sea. “But a man

10、is not made for defeat ,”he said, “A man can be destroyed but not defeated .”Santiago was old just as Hemingway said;.'.“Everything about him was old except hia eyes and they were the samecolor as the sae and were cheerful and undefeated”.He think every dayis a new day, no matter how old he was.

11、 He said “It s better to be lucky,but I would rather be exact. Then when l are luck comes you are ready”.Santiago was poor, he had nothing except a little boat and harpoon.But he said “Now I not time to think what you do not have. Think of what you can do with what there is.”Somebody said Santiago w

12、as a failure. Because at last he wishes that it had been a dream and the boy cried for him can really approve it. In this way I think Santiago was a lucky person. Because he still had Mandolin. The boy loved him and pitied him. If Mandolin had no money his own, he begged or stole to make sure that S

13、antiago had enough to eat and fresh baits for his lines. The old man accepts his kindness with humility that was like a quiet kind of pride .I think Santiago is a hero, not a failure. The value of his life was completely reflected in the way which he caught fish. He is the real winner in his own wor

14、ld. We can learn from him that no matter what difficulties we meet, we must hold our honor. We may lost this game, but we should never give ourselves up as hopeless. I am willing to live as the old man, to face any challenges in the future and never give up.“Vessel crossed the end of the world, into the unknown sea, hanging on the side of the bow while and rain erosion-stricken still;.'.incomparably beautiful flag, banner, brandishing a Yunlong generalwords glittering-beyond the limit ” This is the author Hemingwaysevaluation of his work “The
