The old man and the seaAfter I read the book that is called “The old man and the sea”, I was deeply moved by the old man and his spirit.The book written by Hemingway tells us a story that an old man whose name is Santiago went out to do some fishing on the sea on his own, but down on his luck, he hadnt caught any fish for 84 days. Next day he caught a huge marlin which is bigger than his boat and took a formidable battle with it. He beat it at the end. When he was on the way home, the smells of blood of the marlin draw a lot of sharks attention and they fought for it. In order to protect the marlin and him the old man tried his best to fight with them. After a cruel fight, he won it and came back home tiredly. Although he only got a skeleton of the giant marlin at last, he is also a great hero in many peoples heart.In the article, the old man is a great man. Although he failed for many time in his life, he never gave up. He is a steel-willing man who insisted his dream and work hard. You can destroy him, but you cant beat him. Whatever he faced to, he would never yield to the difficult, which shows a strong spirit.In our lives, I think we should learn something from the old man which will make us have a more valuable life. Whenever and wherever we meet trouble, we should never give up and try our best to overcome it. We should always keep on our dream and make it come true. Every one has his backbone which cant be bended by anyone, which is very important for everyone in his whole life. If we meet difficulty in our life, we should face it bravely and work out some way to solve the problem whatever would happen at last. We can be destroyed, but we cant be beat by anything or anyone. If you failed for many times in your life, you wouldnt surrender because if you try to do it, you may succeed in your life, but if you do not do it, you would not be succeed forever. Everyone has his advantages and disadvantages in his life, but we should face to our disadvantages, and we must be confident, which would also make us be confident of our life. We should have faith in what we do in our life, we will have a more beautiful life in the future and our dream will come true. We should pay more attention to what we do during our life rather than what we will get at the end because I think it is more important than any thing you get finally. If you enjoy you life not something you get, you will have a meaningful life and a noble spirit. It will hurt you when you pay more attention to what you get in the future. It will also make you do something wrong which is bad for other people, our society and our country.Im impressed by the sentence which is “We can be destroyed, but we cant be beat.” I think everyone should do it no matter what happen in our life. This book makes me know something I didnt know in the past. The book and the old man have a great influence in my life. I love this book.
