Read from March 28 to 31, 2013
"The Power of Perseverance", this is another name I would
give to this book!! Hemingway couldn't come up with a weaker or a more
desperate person to describe well what it means, for the one who's not
losing hope in this novel is an unlucky old man facing off the hazardous
sea. The language is a little bit difficult, since the vocabulary is
about ships, sea creatures and such, but then I got what is essential to
know.
The story beging with the old man, Santiago, being unlcky. He
couldn't get a fish for a long time, and his assistant's parents made
their son leave him to work for a lucky boat despite the boy's
objection. The lad loved Santiago so dearly. Then the old man had to go
to the sea without the boy's assistance to get some fish, and here
begins the painful adventre. He went though a lot to get it, but he
couldn't enjoy his success, for the sharks kept spoiling his fish as
well as his body. He wouldn't let go of it, all the same, and defended
it with all his power.
There were heaps of things to learn from this novel, that's why I gave it 5 out of 5 stars.
HAPPY READING DEAR READERS!!
