The feeling after reading The Old Man and the Sea should be appropriate!

The Old Man and the Sea" is a thin book, but it has an unimaginable meaning in it, which makes you deeply reminisce.

The author of "The Old Man and the Sea" is Hemingway, originally called "The Existing Sea", which is a long story about the sea and the sky. It goes something like this: an old man from a poor background, named Santiago, who had been out to sea for eighty-four days without catching a single fish, thought he had "fallen into blood mold", and other fishermen regarded him as a failure.

He was emaciated and emaciated, with many scars on his hands, and had no money to buy food, so he had to rely on a boy to bring him food.

However, on the eighty-fifth day of his voyage, he made up his mind to sail far away to catch big fish. When he really caught a big marlin, he knew that the opponent was stronger than him, but he was still determined to fight to the end. When the shark attacked repeatedly, the old man fought back with all his strength, thinking that "man is not made to fail, a man can be destroyed, but not defeated."

Eventually, he defeated the shark, and when he returned to port, the marlin was left with only a head, tail and a backbone.

Materially speaking, the old man struggled for three days and three nights, and the result was failure; But in terms of human spirit, self-confidence and self-esteem, and the courage to fight against fate with all their might, Santiago has won.

This story taught me that when you encounter difficulties and become discouraged, you must persevere, go all out, challenge with a wholehearted face, and firmly believe that success will not be far away. "Man is not made to fail, a man can be destroyed, but not defeated. This sentence expresses the true meaning of the book.

The Old Man and the Sea" tells the story of another old man named Santiago in Cuba, who was ridiculed by others when he did not have a fish for eighty-four consecutive times, but the old man did not give up, and finally arrived at a big marlin, but the fish was too big, and he swam in a boat for two days and two nights, but was stabbed to death by the old man on the way, but was eaten by the hateful shark, and finally returned to the shore with only the remains of the fish.

The author vividly portrays an old man who perseveres, is not afraid of difficulties, and never gives up. The old man is lonely, he is a traveler on the ideal path, but he is not lonely, because his will is so strong. The old man's will was so extraordinary that I admired that he did not catch a single fish for eighty-four days, but he was not discouraged, and in the end he did not find a big fish, although it was eaten by a shark.

I think being a man should not give up halfway, in the journey of life, there will be a lot of unexpected things happening, we have to learn to overcome it, to be indomitable, just like the book says, a person is not born to be defeated, you can destroy it, but his spirit is invincible.

The Old Man and the Sea has successfully created a classic tough guy image. Its author, Ernest Hemingway, was also awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature. The book tells the story of an old fisherman named Santiago in Cuba, who went out to sea alone to fish and caught an immensely large marlin after 84 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!

After reading:

After reading the article "The Old Man and the Sea", I couldn't help but secretly applaud Hemingway's masterpiece. This story vividly depicts how an old man, with firm faith, deftly catches a large fish into his humble boat, and how he drives away the "intruding enemy" shark.

Although he was not able to transport the whole fish back, his spirit is worth emulating: people should have self-confidence, and when they encounter problems, they should say to themselves, "I can do it!" ”。

Think about it, if this old man catches a fish that is 7 or 8 times bigger than himself, and he is afraid when he sees it, and releases the fish, can he bring the fish back and win glory for himself? No, no, he was able to catch this big fish by relying on such an unacceptable determination for ordinary people.

In our class, there are students who are poor in learning, they just lack confidence in themselves, coupled with the sarcasm of others, at this time, they have no interest in learning, so that their academic performance gradually declines, declines.

Now that society is developed, if I can clone my self-confidence, then I will definitely clone it and give it to friends who are not confident!
