book review of
Old Man and The Sea: by Ernest Hemingway. Scribner paperback fiction 1952 genre:fiction
In this story there is an old man who loved to fish but he was in an unhappy streak of not catching anything so he was not able to eat so he decided to go out one more time so that he could catch something,he waited and waited hoping that he would catch something know that he wouldn't but then he did the fish pulled him through the sea and then he harpooned it and started to head back with his catch and then there were sharks that started to follow the fish and attack the fish. he fought off the sharks but by the time he got back the fish was just bones but even though he didn't catch anything other fisherman had faith in him and they were all happy.
A quote that would represent thing book would be "It is unsurpassed in Hemingway's oeuvre. Every word tells and there is not a word too many" -- Anthony Burgess Amazon.com reviewer. Another one would be “A quite wonderful example of narrative art. The writing is as taut, and at the same time as lithe and cunningly played out, as the line on which the old man plays the fish" Guardian amazon.com reveiwer . These quotes would be quotes to say what this book is about. the reason I chose these quotes would be I think that they sum up this book very good.
This book is about telling people that as long as you try you will get noticed. also the message is that when you try good things happen. Also not to give up. if I had to compare this to any other book I would compare it too the hunger games because in the book the main character doesn't give up. A simile for this story would be that the fisherman is beast, at not catching anything. He went out fishing and he did not catch anything due to the fact that he is not that good at fishing. He went out fishing thinking that he would catch a fish but when he caught the big fish the sharks ate it. and by the time he got back to the shore and all the fisherman appreciate him and thought he was a good a fisherman anyway. The quote “A man can be destroyed, but not defeated.” it means that even if you like destroys lets say their reputation as long as the don't give up they will not be defeated. And that is what i think that means.
This story kind of relates to the time that i went fishing. I was fishing for hours and had caught nothing not even one fish. But instead of going back empty handed i decided to keep trying and eventually i caught a fish and then i threw it back. And that is my book review of the book of
i would give this book 2 Paws
