The Old Man and the Sea Do you think the old man Sandiego succeeded or failed Why

Mentally successful, even though he didn't catch a big fish later.

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 Old Man and the Sea'

The philosophy that I want 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 to pursue and struggle for his ideals, isn't he a winner?

Is it? The old fisherman is the victor who dares to challenge his own flaws and his own courage and faith. From the point of view of the secular view of victory, the old fisherman was not the final victor, because despite the fact that at the beginning he defeated the big marlin.

But in the end, the big marlin still let the shark eat it, and he just returned to the shore with the white skeleton of the big marlin, that is, the shark was the winner. However, in the idealists.

In his eyes, the old fisherman is the victor, because he has never compromised and surrendered to the sea, not to the big marlin, and even less to the shark. Just like the master Beethoven.

It is said that "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 in challenging the limits or whether they are slippery or failing, are worthy of our eternal respect.

Because, what he brings us is the noblest self-confidence of human beings!

In your opinion, did the old man of Santiago succeed or failed? Briefly explain the reason. What qualities should we learn from him?

Dear Santiago is a strong old man. From the eyes of the world, he may be a loser, but in the author's pen, he is a hero who does not bow to fate, a warrior who fights bravely with his courage, perseverance and wisdom no matter how difficult the environment, and a person who defends the "dignity of the human soul".

2, "The Old Man and the Sea" tells the story of an old fisherman named Santiago (Spencer Cussé) in Cuba, who lives in a small shack by the sea, he lives a poor and helpless life, only a boy named Manolin goes to chat with him and help him pack up his fishing tools. The old fisherman did not catch a single fish for 84 days, but he did not give up, and on the 85th day, he went out to sea again. This time, he caught a big marlin, and because the big rock marlin was too huge, the old fishermen caught the big marlin and tied it to the boat after three days and three nights of fighting.

On the way home, the sharks in the sea came to snatch the meat of the big marlin, and the old fishermen tried their best to do it, but the big marlin was eventually completely devoured by the sharks. When he returned home, there was only one skeleton left of the big marlin.

**The protagonist Santia Cong Xiaoge has also become a famous tough guy in the history of literature, although he is old and weak, but he loves the sea and is obsessed with fishing, and the sea gives him a fearless courage and optimistic spirit. He knows that life is a lonely battle, but in the face of failure, in the face of death, he has no fear, in the process of challenging the big marlin and shark for three days and three nights, he shows a belief in victory and tenacious character, is a kind of spiritual indomitability. Singing a hymn to the human spirit that a person is not born to defeat, you try to destroy him as much as possible, but you can't defeat him, inspiring generations of people.
