The Old Man and the Sea , what do you think of Old Man Santiago?

Brother San Diego is an optimistic, strong person who dares to face difficulties and challenges, and fights alone without fear of hardship.

Santiago is an innocent, mischievous, nature-loving old man. The old man loved flying fish, birds, little terns, petrels, dolphins, he was the son of the sea, and he regarded the animals as friends, and he said, "He liked the turtles and hawksbill turtles, and they liked their graceful movements, their speed of swimming, and their precious value."

Old Man Santiago is a spiritually invincible giant, he always has a young heart, he is also a kind, gentle and loving kind old man.

Perseverance in the face of difficulties.

Santiago's character traits are somewhat similar to Hemingway's. In his youth, Hemingway was competitive and had a strong enterprising spirit. But as time passed, Hemingway reached middle age, and his energy and creativity waned.

In Hemingway's inner world, he was irritable, but never lost hope and self-confidence.

When Santiago appeared, what impressed us the most was his loneliness. He has always been alone, going out to sea alone to fish, and then returning home alone. Although a little boy accompanied him for a while, he was later brought home by his parents.

Santiago, who has enjoyed companionship, is back to being alone.

Santiago is actually a lonely man, not because he has no one to accompany him, but because he is a person who enjoys this feeling in his bones. He can go out to sea alone to fish all the time, if he can't stand the loneliness, then he must have found someone to accompany him a long time ago.

We can look at the description of his eyes in the book, and what we see is that compared to the rest of his body, the vitality of his eyes does not match his age. We can see his aging, because even the back of his neck has been invaded by wrinkles. And his image looks old and haggard, and we can see the aging of every part of his body described in the book.

But when we see the eyes, we don't see the cloudy and godless appearance we imagined, but a pair of eyes as blue as the ocean, and in those eyes we can see all pleasure.

In fact, he was enjoying this loneliness. Otherwise, how could he still be so energetic. If he doesn't like all this, then we don't see such a look.

In my opinion, the first place that shows a person's love for a thing or life is the eyes.

We say that the eyes are actually the second mouth for people to communicate with others, and sometimes the mouth will lie, but the eyes can never deceive people. Everything about you will be reflected in your eyes, and when you are angry, the way you look at others will actually have their own offensive power.

Santiago is an indomitable, strong, hard-working, confident and optimistic guy who never gives up. He caught a large marlin on his own and outmaneuvered the shark swarm.

Santiago is a man who persists in his bravery.

At the beginning of **, Hemingway put the protagonist Santiago in a difficult situation. In terms of age, he is far from middle age, physically emaciated and emaciated, living in embarrassment, bad luck, and fishing for eighty-four days with nothing. But Santiago was not disappointed, and he was full of self-confidence, which led to the 85th Party Congress's determination to "sail away" to catch big fish.

Later, when I really caught a big fish, and the big fish was beyond imagination, I still decided to rise to the challenge. In the end, after two days and two nights of life-and-death struggle, he won. This spiritually invincible giant is a typical representative of the "tough guy".

From this, we can feel that Santiago has always had a young heart. In **, Hemingway mentions the lion several times. On the one hand, the old man thinks about the young years, and on the other hand, the "lion" is a symbol of vitality and youth.

Although the old man is getting older day by day, he is always young at heart. For example, even if you live in such poverty, you don't forget to ask for a newspaper to learn about baseball; Even at the critical moment of going out to sea to fish, I did not forget to tell the child to read the newspaper carefully, and when he returned, he told him the bits and pieces of the game ......Although, in the end, when the old man returned to the harbor, he only brought a huge skeleton, but the old man's heart was not broken.

Santiago was also a kind, gentle, loving and kind old man. Santiago selflessly teaches his children the various skills of fishing, making him strong and mature. At the same time, Santiago also had a good relationship with the older ones, and many fishermen often made fun of the old man, but he was not angry, which shows the old man's generosity.

San Diego is also full of compassion for the various animals of the sea. For him, these animals are brothers and friends.

No matter what level, the strong heart of perseverance in the predicament, or the benevolence of the people and animals around him, or the kindness, kindness and harmony with the people around him, etc., the summary of bits and pieces makes the old man's character gradually complete and his image full.

The character of Santiago, the protagonist of "The Old Man and the Sea": an indomitable, strong and unyielding, dare to fight, never give up, confident, optimistic and tragic "tough guy" image.

1. The image of a "tough guy" who is indomitable and never admits defeat.

The images that gradually emerge in the constant battle with fate, the sea, the big fish and the shark all vividly and profoundly portray and describe the charm of the "tough guy" embodied in the old man - brave, strong, indomitable, and never admit defeat. He represents the tough guy who "can be eliminated but you can't defeat". This is the image of San Diego's gritty, never-say-die hard-clad Hall.

Second, the optimistic and confident "tough guy" image.

The optimistic and open-minded attitude to life shown by the old man is not blind optimism about life and opponents, but an elegant demeanor under all the pressure. He treats victory and defeat, suffering and happiness, and has his own unique philosophy of life.

3. The tragic image of a "tough guy".

He was poor and unlucky all his life, and he was the fisherman who didn't catch a single fish in the Gulf Stream for 84 days in a row. The bleak scene of an exhausted old fisherman rowing a small boat and struggling alone at sea for 84 consecutive days, but finding nothing, is vividly presented in front of the reader's eyes. His loneliness, his toil, and his desolation all make the reader sympathetic.
