Old Man in the Sea1
Publication: Simon and Schuster, Inc. in New York, NY.Theme: It doesn't matter if you succeed as long as you try and enjoyed the attempt. Also even if you don't succeed, its only important if you have the will to try again. If you have the will to try again good things will happen. Santiago supported this theme because for eighty-four days straight he hadn't caught one fish but day after day he would go out and try again and finally one day he caught the biggest and most beautiful fish he could dream of. He succeeded but the fish ended up getting eaten by sharks. Santiago was devastated but decided to keep on fishing.Place Setting: This book takes place in Cuba and the ocean.Time Setting: This book takes place in the early nineteen forties Point of View: This book was told in third person omniscient.

In conclusion I would not recommend this bookBibliography Weiss, Mike. First I thought it was boring just to read half of the back having him chase a fish. If the ending were different I would have enjoyed this book more. icked this point of view is because this he can show the characters emotions better and distinguish different characteristics. Plot: Santiago had gone eighty-four days without catching a single fish, and Manolin's family had refused to let Manolin, a young boy, fish with his friend Santiago because they believed he had bad luck. The marlin demonstrated great skill and strength for three days before being caught. I'm not really interested in fishing so it kind of got me bored. Then when he got near the village and group of sharks had come and attacked the boat and even with all Santiago's effort the sharks were able to destroy and eat the whole fish. The fish eventually kind of became Santiago's brother. A couple of sharks had come up and tore apart part of the fish but still half of it was left. Despite his age he had young eyes and great determination to catch the marlin. The night before Santiago was going to fish, Manolin and him talked about Baseball, which they both loved. The next day Santiago set off to try to catch some fish. Santiago ended up catching the biggest, most beautiful he could have dreamed of. Santiago's hands were bruised, his back was extremely sore, and was acting strangely, talking and arguing to himself.
