Mohamed Alasow
English 11 analysis 5/16/14 the old man and the sea Analysis There was an old man who for quite some time wasn’t able to catch any fish.
The old man was grumpy. He was never happy always complaining how he would never again catch any fish. He had never had a smile on his face even when almost caught A BIG FISH!.He should’ve been happy i know i would because catching a fish is like a prize you worked hard for you should be happy.He also had weird fishing techniques that were the reason why he barely caught any fish. The old man was grumpy everyday.In the story the little boy asks: Santiago can i go and get sardines for you tommorow santiago the old man replies “ No, Go and play baseball i can still row and rogelio will throw the net.”In Another Part of the story . For example,
"It made the boy sad to see the old man come in each day with his skiff empty." And most powerfully, "The sail was patched with flour sacks and, furled, it looked like the flag of permanent defeat" The first Example shows that the old man was grumpy because he was grouchy at the kid, the second example shows that he was grumpy because of his equipment. the Second point is how he never caught fish for quite some time
The first sentence of the book announces itself as Hemingway's: "He was an old man who fished alone in a skiff in the Gulf stream and he had gone eighty-four days now without taking a fish" the point here is eighty four days without fish, why shouldn't he be grumpy.
The Third Point Was How His fishing techniques were bad.
in the story He tries to pull the fish in put the moves away which the old man cuts his hand
The Conclusion
We can agree on that the old man was unlucky for not catching fish for about 84 days. this Story was quite interesting but the old man he was never happy
