Describe The Relationship Between Santiago And The Marlin
An old Cuban fisherman, named Santiago, has gone eighty-four days without catching anything. As a result of this, his apprentice Manolin quits in frustration. Even though Manolin has quit as an apprentice, he still shows a little loyalty to Santiago by bringing bait and food for him.
It is now the eighty-fifth day, and Santiago decides to take his boat to a different location. He takes the boat way out deep in the Gulf Stream. There he is able to discover good waters. In these waters he catches and hooks a marlin that is so incredibly big that he is unable to reel it in. The marlin is so strong that as it tries to swim away it is pulling Santiago and his boat away.
Santiago continues to struggles with the marlin. He has been wrestling with

    Santiago's Struggles

    Through times of struggle, humans resort to memories and ideas to help them through the conflict. This is particularly true when it comes to the hardships of fishing. Santiago is at battle for many days with a large marlin where he becomes triumphant, although temporarily, he was not defeated. He uses memories of the boy and baseball to keep his mind of the pain that he was in to fulfill his duty as a fisherman. Using characterization, point of view and symbolism, youthful strength, courage, and love of nature is strongly demonstrated in Ernest Hemingway's novella The Old Man and the Sea.…

    Ernest Hemingway Code Hero

    Despite knowing that he hasn 't caught any fish in 84 days, he continues to go out in his boat every morning, never with a negative attitude. His persistent actions show his ability to go on every day even when the odds were against him. After catching the marlin and being out so far for almost two days, Santiago is extremely tired, but he won 't give up to the fish, or go to sleep. "He felt very tired now and he knew the night would come soon" (Hemingway 67). Even though he could have slept, he mostly stayed awake with the fish, and kept all of his courage so that he would be able to get home with the great marlin. His courage showed when he had to stay in the ocean alone for three days with little protection, and his small food supply. He could have turned back to shore safely at any time, but he didn 't. Santiago faced possible death at any moment, but his courage allowed him to continue on his journey. When the sharks attack the carcass, he does everything in his power to fight them off when it 's obviously a battle lost from the start, but he gives it his all. After loosing his harpoon when fighting with the sharks, he still continues to go on and make a new weapon (out of the few materials on his boat, for example an oar and his knife) and uses all of the energy he has left in him to protect the…

    Throughout the entire story, Santiago is facing all the elements within the ocean. These include the Marlin, sharks, finding food, and more. For the majority of the story the Marlin is the main struggle and obstacle the Old Man must overcome. Even though Santiago is very anxious to bring the Marlin home, he doesn't rush the hunt and remains patient. Catching this fish would mean he would break his bad luck streak that had been going on for over eighty days, and he would gain more respect as a fisherman, not only from other people, but himself.…

    Santiago Hemingway Hero

    "Santiago, throughout his hardships of his three-day fight with the marlin, displays courage by keeping at the task, no matter how tired he gets, and 'going the distance, ' (Dwiggins). This "going the distance" she speaks of is not only the fact that he went the distance by holding onto the marlin, and not letting it go, but also going out farther than the rest of the fisherman normally would. Not only did he go further than the fisherman in that factor, but also in the factor of vowing for a fight with the Marlin to the death. He was not going to let go, no matter the cost. "Just as Santiago goes 'far out ' beyond the lesser ambitions of the other fishermen, he finds the great fish not simply because he was the better fisherman, but because, in a symbolic sense, he deserves it," (Davis 6). Why does Santiago…

    Who Is The Protagonist In Finding Nemo

    Marlin finds himself in trouble with Bruce and other sharks at the beginning of his expedition. While they are friendly at first, it becomes clear that Marlin and Dory are merely fish food for the sharks when they get in a fight that results in Dory bleeding. After smelling the blood in the water, Bruce and the other sharks begin chasing the two. After just escaping the sharks, they face the bombs of a naval mine going off. Shortly after this, they find themselves in trouble with an angler fish at the bottom of the ocean and they narrowly escape with the help of the mask that belonged to the diver who took Nemo. Additionally, they are in danger of being killed by a swarm of jellyfish. Both Dory and Marlin are stung but they are taken in by sea turtles traveling along the East Australian Current. This trip could be considered dangerous as it is likely Marlin would have avoided the EAC entirely prior to his journey. One of their final encounters with trouble happens when the two are nearly eaten by seagulls but are saved by a pelican named Nigel. Though they faced many dangers along the way, Marlin is determined to find his son and exudes admirable strength throughout the…

    Once More To The Lake E. B White Analysis

    The story has very concise and appropriate wording which helps to excite and enlighten the readers. The author does a great job at continually compelling his audience to further read the story, while also entertaining them with facts, examples, memories and he does a very good job at providing details throughout most, but not all of the story. While reading the story, the audience is able to visualize the surroundings, the environment and the attitude in which the story is shared from the author's point of view. When we read the seventh paragraph the author is emphasising the catch of the day, water condition for fishing and while he states "We caught two bass, hauling them in briskly as though they were mackerel, pulling them over the side of the boat in a businesslike manner without any landing net, and stunning them with a blow on the back of the head."(2), he lacks a defining moment…
