After reading "The Old Man and the Sea".
A ship crosses the end of the world and sails into the unknown sea, and on the bow of the ship hangs a flag that is still gorgeous despite the erosion of the wind and rain, and on the flag, the four words like a cloud dragon are dancing and shining - beyond the limit! Here's how the author Hemingway commented on his work "The Old Man and the Sea".
The Old Man and the Sea creates a classic tough guy image. An old Cuban fisherman named Santiago went out fishing alone and caught a huge marlin after 48 days of nothing. It was a large fish two feet longer than his boat that the old man had never seen or heard of.
The fish was so vigorous that he dragged the boat adrift for two days and two nights, and the old man went through a difficult test that he had never endured before, and finally stabbed the big fish to death and tied it to the bow of the boat. However, at this time, he encountered a shark, and the old man fought to the death with the shark, but the big marlin was still eaten by the shark, and the old man finally dragged home only a bare fish skeleton.
Why didn't Hemingway let the old man win in the end? In the words of the old man: "A person is not born to be defeated", "People can be destroyed, but they cannot be defeated."
This is the philosophy that "The Old Man and the Sea" wants to reveal. It is undeniable that as long as you are human, you will have flaws. When a person acknowledges this flaw and strives to overcome it rather than submit to it, it does not matter whether he ends up catching a complete marlin or an empty skeleton, because the value of one's life has been fully demonstrated in the pursuit of marlin.
He has worked hard and struggled for his ideals, isn't he a winner? The old fisherman is the one who dares to challenge his own flaws and his own courage and confidence. From the point of view of the secular view of victory, the old fisherman is not the final victor, because although he defeated the big marlin at the beginning, in the end the big marlin was eaten by the shark, and he only returned to the shore with the white skeleton of the big marlin, that is, the shark was the victor.
However, in the eyes of the idealists, the old fisherman is the victor, because he has never compromised and surrendered to the sea, not to the big marlin, and not to the shark. As the master Beethoven said, "I can be destroyed, but I cannot be conquered".
Human nature is strong, and human beings themselves have their own limits, but it is precisely because of people like the old fisherman who challenge and surpass them again and again that this limit expands again and again, and puts greater challenges in front of mankind again and again. In this sense, heroes like the old fisherman Santiago, regardless of whether they succeed or fail in challenging the limits, are worthy of our eternal respect. Because, what he brings us is the noblest self-confidence of human beings!
Life is an endless pursuit. Its road is long, difficult, and full of ups and downs, but as long as he is brave and tenacious to meet the challenges with a confident heart, he will always be a true winner!

"The Life of a Dog" after reading.
I once read an article on the Internet, which illustrates the loyalty of dogs to their owners in the form of paintings, and I feel very deeply.
Three of them I remember so vividly that I will never forget. These are all things that dogs say to their owners.
Please don't be angry with me for too long, and don't lock me up as punishment, you have your job, your entertainment, your friends, but I only have you ......”
Please speak to me when you have time, even if I don't know your language yet, but I know that it is your voice that accompanies me. ”
When you hit me, don't forget that I have sharp teeth that can crush the bones of your hand, but I will never choose to hurt you. ”
For me, as a dog lover, it has made me understand the inner depths of dogs.
The first sentence shows that although we are busy, we should not forget to play with the dog. It also shows that humans have a lot, while dogs only have their owners.
The second sentence is to say that you should talk to the dog more, it doesn't want to get anything, it just wants us to accompany it, and it will be happy, but its only wish.
The third sentence shows the dog's loyalty, it knows that you are good to it, even if you hit him, it will not hurt you, on the contrary, we should not hit the dog easily, it also knows that it hurts.
I don't know if you've noticed, but before you go upstairs, it's already greeting you by the balcony window, and you wave your hand: "Don't scream!" "When you get to the door, it's rushing towards the door, and you call it open
Dodge! "When you open the door and go into the house, it pounces on you, glad you're back, but you pull it away. When you sit on the sand, it pounces on your lap, hoping that you, who haven't seen you for a day, will hug it, and you throw it a toy:
Go and go, and play while you go! "When you found it convenient on the floor in the house, you called it over and beat it hard. But do you realize that you go to work all day and no one at home takes it out to play ......?He stayed lonely for a day, and finally looked forward to your return, but you ignored it.
If it were you, maybe you should have bitten the owner a long time ago, but your dog didn't, and it will never hurt you!
Speaking of which, my eyes blurred. He doesn't want to have abundant and endless food, nor does he ask for a beautiful nest, let alone a large space for activities. It just wants to be able to think of it when you come back, to be able to play with it, to talk to it.
Having said all this, do you have any feelings, then go now, go play with your dog now!
