If anyone asked me about my opinion in "The Old Man and the Sea" I would say ’the most thing that attracted me is its theme between the old man and nature’ . I liked it for it shows us the real hope ‚patience and life that we can learn from this old man. "He was two feet longer than the skiff" maybe Santiago depended on the appearance of the fish which terrified him. It is a lesson that we should not depend on appearances and to look at the inside.
