I Hemingway's TOMATS, Santiago is a man of the sea who fights a great fish for it's life while trying to keep his own.
ReplyDeleteIn Hemmingway's TOMATS, it may seem that Santiago struggles, but I really didn't see it in his: Tone, moods or his character really. It seems to be more focused on the whole of the book than Santiago to me. Sure he's the one the story revolves around, but the events in this story kind of speculate that, since he went the extra length and totally put his life on the line, he almost got the big fish. I'm going to write something around effort and extent for my essay
ReplyDeleteIn Hemingway's The Old Man and the Sea (underline titles of novels), Santiago is a man who in spite of his many struggles, never gives up. At the beginning of the story he has gone eighty-four days without a fish, but he leaves on the eighty-fifth feeling positive and ever-confident.
ReplyDeleteNote how the first sentence gives the thesis and the second sentence expands the idea.
A man with the courage of a lion and no fear, despite his hardened age, Santiago never gives up in Hemingway's The_Old_Man_and_the_Sea. With nothing to lose but the close friendship of younger boy and the comfort of the grass shack, he sets away on a journey which may be his last.

ReplyDeleteIn Earnest Hemingway's Old Man and the Sea, Santiago is a struggling fisherman with uncompromised pride. This aspect of his character is what helps him remain optimistic and focused, but may also be the cause of his failure.
ReplyDeleteSantiago is a persistent fisherman with unwavering confidence who still manages to keep his head up high after 84 days of no fish. But the 85th day is a different story.
ReplyDeleteThe Old Man and the Sea is an astonishing novel written by Earnest Hemingway following an old man in a turning point of his life.
ReplyDeleteYeah that anonymous person is Khoya.
ReplyDeleteIn Hemingway's Old Man and the Sea, Santiago is an old Cuban fisherman who is faced with his greatest struggle of all. He must test his own will to endure, survive and win in a battle against a great fish with the same strong will.
ReplyDeleteWell Im still kind of thinking on this one. I think I might write mine on the old mans vitures. Talking about his many qualities that make him a Hemingway Hero.
ReplyDeleteIn the old man and the sea, Santiago is a hero in fishing terms. goes out without food or water and makes do with what he can catch. He has so much proud and is a true man......
