    ‘Although Josefina is central to the plot‚ she is never presented as a convincing character’. Do you agree? Rolf de Heer’s ‘The Old Man Who Read Love Stories’ portrays the profound emotion through romantic literature‚ and the appreciation of life’s simple pleasures.

    Hemingway Hero Most people that are old have little ambition to do anything‚ complain about everything‚ are brittle‚ and even senile. So one could reasonably ask how the stoic but old Cuban fisherman Santiago could possibly go without catching a fish for 87 days and then fight a fish two feet longer than his skiff and probably ten times Santiago’s weight for three days while remaining calm‚ collective‚ and strong. In Ernest Hemingway’s novel‚ The Old Man and the Sea‚ one learns the tale of Santiago’s

I think that he feels that by facing the Marlin‚ he is giving the best of himself to his cause. He’s going full throttle‚ and by facing his Marlin‚ he is enhancing

    In The Old Man and the Sea‚ Ernest Hemingway presents the fisherman Santiago as the ideal man--independent in his action‚ eager to follow his calling‚ and willing to take chances in life. The old man’s most notable attribute‚ however‚ appears to be his unquenchable spirit: no matter how his body is beaten‚ his spirit remains undefeated‚ undefeatable‚ through all trials. In Santiago‚ the central character in The Old Man and the Sea‚ Hemingway has created a hero who personifies honor‚ courage‚ endurance
