Hello my dear friends!
Today I want to share with you my thoughts about book, which I am reading now “The Old Man and the Sea” by Ernest
Hemingway. Even though I have read only half of the book I have a lot to say
about this story. It has two main characters who are the old man Santiago and
boy Manolin. The Old Man had gone 84 days without fish. Manolin liked to spend
time with the Old Man, they talked about different things, but after 40 days
his parents refused to let go boy with man. Santiago was alone; it was too
complicated for him especially when he tried to catch big fish.
Actually, now it is very hard to
understand the main idea of this book and what author wanted to tell the reader
because I haven’t know the rest of the book. Of course, it is quite interesting
to read and I don’t know the end of this story. Maybe, he will die or stay
alive, hook fish or become dish for sharks. Such stories always push me to the
deep thoughts about life. While reading this text it was difficult to join all
my thoughts and worries about Santiago and his fate.
I’m looking forward to read the rest
of the book because of attractive plot which hooked me.
Good night!
Vicky
Hi VIcky - Keep reading! I'm curious to know your impressions when you come to the end of the book. What is a "deep thought" that you've had as a result of the book so far? And I'm also curious if you see any similarities between this book and "Soldier's Home" since they are by the same author.
ReplyDeleteMe too because I want know to the end of the book) Deep thoughts like nobody knows when you can stay alone in your llife, so you should always be prepared to different changes in your life. Thank you for good comment))
DeleteThat's a good "deep thought"; it's important to be ready to face challenges. You might even have to do this by yourself. Do you think that everyone comes to a place in their life where they are alone against a challenge?
DeleteI have already read this book, but in Ukrainian language. It is really good choice. It's worth it. Have you find, maybe, some phrases or statements that you like the most ? What this story can teach us?
ReplyDeleteI agree with you. I'm not sure what this story theachs us(because I dont know the end of the book) , but I have a guess that everyone should follow a dream like Old Man followed fish. Thank you for question)
DeleteDo not think about what will happen next, just read and enjoy the book)
ReplyDeleteOk, I will do this))
