As a person who loves to read, I always believe that every book is an unknown world, waiting for us to explore and understand. And when I opened the book "The Old Man and the Sea" again many years later, it was as if I had stepped on a lonely ship and sailed into the unknown sea.
This ** is based on the experience of an old fisherman, and tells the story of his belief that he finally caught a big fish and fought with it for three days and two nights without catching a fish for 84 consecutive days.
In the story, the image of the old man is admirable, he is not old in spirit, and despite his old age and frailty, he still insists on challenging himself and challenging his fate. In his struggle against big fish, the sea, and sharks, he showed the spirit of human perseverance and tenacious struggle.
The other characters in the book also have their own unique characteristics, and they add a lot of color to the story and make a lasting impression. Through these characters, the author vividly shows the beautiful qualities of human nature, such as kindness, bravery, and tenacity.
In the process of reading this book, my feelings are completely different from the feeling I had when I read it in a textbook more than 20 years ago. Especially the part of the struggle between the old man and the big fish and sharks, when he is young, he only feels nervous and exciting, which makes people take their breath away.
But now that I read it again, the theme of "man's challenge to self and fate" in the storyline is very infectious and shocking. In the process of reading, it also triggered me to think more deeply about the huge propositions of life, destiny, and faith.
In the lonely sea, the old man not only faces great resistance from fish, but also has to deal with shark attacks, all of which becomes a dialogue between him and his heart. He is not only fishing, but also in the pursuit of self-worth and self-transcendence in the process of challenging fate.
The author's deep insight into life and in-depth analysis of human nature are also in this reading, and I can understand it more deeply.
The storyline in the book is naturally ups and downs and fascinating.
The author uses concise and clear language and delicate descriptions to create the image of the old man vividly.
And at the end of the story, although the old man only brought back a pair of fishbones, his spirit was not defeated, and he hoisted the sails again and continued his voyage.
The shock of this kind of spiritual power is also a ...... that can only be achieved after "passing a thousand sails".
In my opinion, this is a film full of revelation and symbolism.
The old man's struggle with the sea is not just a struggle between man and nature;The image of the old man in the book is the author's high summary of the perseverance and tenacious fighting spirit of human nature. Although he is old and frail, his spirit is not old, and his tenacity and perseverance are awe-inspiring.
No matter what age group you are, this book will always inspire you;I read it when I was 12 years old, I read it at 21, and I read it again at 43 years old, and it's a completely different feeling.
We can see completely different cores of thought at different ages:
When I was 12 years old, maybe it was the teacher who said: it expresses how an ordinary person can face difficulties and setbacks and always maintain a positive attitude.
And when I read it again at the age of 21, what I saw may be: the tenacity and fearlessness of human nature, even in difficult moments, as long as you believe in the "power of belief", you will overcome everything.
At the age of 43, "after a thousand sails" and then pick it up, the deep empathy may be to "allow everything to happen" to explore inward, and pursue the true meaning of courage and perseverance.
Hemingway, with his profound literary skills, interprets the story of a simple fisherman deeply and movingly. This ** is not only an adventure at sea, but also a baptism of the soul.
Through reflection on life, we may be able to find the perseverance and courage in our hearts, and give life more meaning.
In the distance beyond the footsteps, words can be ......
I'm Lu Qiqi, and this is the 266th book I recommend for you, and we'll see you in the next book.
