After reading The Old Man and the Sea, I fell asleep one night. The bright moon, which has risen slowly from the east, flows slowly in the deep night sky like a sweet stream. Obliquely shining on my desk, I took out this book "The Old Man and the Sea" again. It was in the evening, and when I opened the book, a touch of faint book fragrance flashed across my nose, as if telling me what happened to the old man.
"They are sitting on the terrace of the hotel. Many fishermen make fun of the old man, and the old man is not angry." I see the generosity of the old man, and he doesn't care what others say about him. And I'm making a fuss about it if it's not contradictory. I really should learn from the old man and learn from his generosity.
From the conversation between the old man and the child, I deeply realized that the old man is so considerate and tolerant. He can understand a child because he can't go against the wishes of adults.
The old man is still modest. When the boy named Manorine praised him as a top fisherman, the old man said, "No, I know many better fishermen than me." All this is worth learning. I want to learn from the generosity, understanding and modesty of the old man.
When the old man caught a marlin, he tied the marlin to the stern, which attracted a large group of sharks. The old man and the sharks fought to the death. Seeing this, my heart is in my throat. I have been praying silently in my heart that nothing will happen to the old man and the shark will give up the marlin. However, the result surprised me. The old man was injured, and he only got a pair of big marlin bones. I suddenly burst into tears quietly, and at the same time, I was amazed at the strength of the old man and his strength. He should have such amazing courage and strength that he can fight a large group of sharks.
Although the struggle between the old man and the shark failed, his spirit of not giving in, not giving up, having confidence, being brave in challenging and facing failure made me realize the importance of strong will.
Four thoughts on reading The Old Man and the Sea (2) Once upon a time, when I came into contact with the ocean, I was immersed in its vast mind, standing on the edge of the reef hit by the waves, and the cold sea steam coming at me made you really appreciate her breath, which was deep and rich and full of wildness and bohemian. Because I like the ocean and look forward to her agility in the empty space, I can't meet my expectation of wandering by the sea, and I can also meet my imagination from my heart with the emotion between beautiful words and characters, but The Old Man and the Sea makes me understand the face of the sea from another side. The ocean can also be used as a platform, a game of frustration, failure and persistence, and self-confidence can also flash on the sea.
The sea and the tough guy can set off each other. "The Old Man and the Sea" is a successful image of a typical tough guy. The book is about an old fisherman named Santiago in Cuba who went fishing alone and caught a huge marlin after 84 days of nothing. This is a big fish that the old man has never seen or heard of, which is two feet longer than his boat. The fish was very powerful in nature, and dragged the boat for two whole days and nights. During these two days and nights, the old man experienced a difficult test that he had never experienced before, and finally stabbed the big fish to death and tied it to the bow. However, at this time, he met a shark, and the old man fought with the shark to the death. As a result, the marlin was eaten up by the shark, and the old man finally dragged home with only a bare fish skeleton. Although the old fisherman did not drag the whole marlin back to the coast, it was a failure in the eyes of others, but in fact he was successful. As the saying goes, a hero is not judged by success or failure. His strong will and brave spirit are not inferior to the hero's behavior. He will become an invincible giant who has experienced hardships and deserves everyone's advocacy. Don't China's ancient cultural biographies often mention "a drop of water pierces a stone", "an iron pestle becomes a needle" and "three feet frozen", all of which mean "where there is a will, there is a way"? There is a famous saying in The Old Man and the Sea: A person is not born to be defeated. You can be destroyed, but you can't be defeated. Isn't this the theme of this article? Is failure really so terrible? Who can live without failure? Just like learning to walk, you have to wrestle, and only after wrestling can you learn to walk. Human nature is tough, and human beings have their own limits, but it is precisely because people like the old fisherman have repeatedly challenged and surpassed them that this limit has been expanded again and again, and greater challenges have been placed in front of human beings again and again. In this sense, heroes like Santiago, an old fisherman, are worthy of our eternal respect no matter whether they challenge the limit successfully or fail. Then, as a strong man, we should not be depressed and pessimistic in the face of failure. The famous sayings in this paper also set off the brave will of the old fisherman. In real life, it is inevitable to encounter difficulties. The most important thing is to face them bravely, have perseverance and learn from failures.
Four thoughts after reading The Old Man and the Sea (3) A simple story, an ordinary old man and an ordinary marlin, had a seemingly ordinary and extraordinary experience in the vast sea.
Without the sea, there would be no fish, no fish, no fisherman, and there would be no extraordinary experience of breaking. It was because of the sea that the fisherman caught a big marlin, but it took three days and three nights at sea to kill it, but it was attacked by sharks. It is conceivable that the thief ended up with only the head, tail and a spine. All the bodies are gone, leaving only a body, a body without a soul, at the mercy of others. But who wants to manipulate it? It's just a bunch of useless skeletons.
However, a tragic story reflects a "hero"-the old man Santiago. He didn't catch a fish for 84 days in a row, and in the eyes of others, he was a loser. Because as a fisherman, you can't catch fish. Can you still be a real fisherman? What is valuable is that he was determined to sail to the distant sea for fishing on the 85th day. Don't I admire the courage of "knowing what not to do"? Whether it's a harpoon, a knife or a short stick. He was taken away by sharks again and again, but he always tried every means to fight back, and nothing could destroy his heroic will. The phrase "I will accompany you to death" is mixed with the roar of the sea and echoes in my ear. Is it heroic for a person to put his life on the line and fight to the death with the enemy? I think the shark is the embodiment of all destructive forces in the universe, and the old man is the messenger of justice. This destructive force exists in people's body at any time and anywhere, and life is constantly circulating. The end of comedy is not a tragedy; The end of the tragedy also means the comedy reappears. It seems to be a perfect result that the old man killed the marlin, but at the same time he is still "brewing" his own tragedy. A shark attack is what you deserve. A person living in the world always has something to pursue, no matter what he pursues is good or bad, the means he pursues is justice or meanness, and maybe getting it is the best result. There is still a bright spot in the tragedy, that is, children. The child brought back the old man's youth and made him find himself. If everyone has a childlike innocence and innocence, the world will no longer be gray. Even if you enjoyed the last dinner at that time, you will never forget to wash your hands before meals and rinse your mouth after meals.
Recalling the old man's words in the article, "Man is not born for failure, and a man can be destroyed, but not defeated", isn't that the main body of this article? People are really strange animals. Why do they have the courage to face death, but not the courage to face failure? Is failure really so terrible? The cold sea breeze is mixed with a bloody, maybe these are the real fears!
Four thoughts after reading The Old Man and the Sea (4) Savor The Old Man and the Sea carefully, and slowly dispel the madness of the sea and the greed of sharks. It is impossible for the old man to have this perseverance because he is dull and uncivilized, because it will pay the price of his life. Self-confidence, as the noblest character of human beings, should be given to this indomitable old fisherman at that moment. Because, with self-confidence, once determined to do things, no matter how difficult it is, it is a cloud in his eyes. Self-confidence brings optimism, and optimism solves difficulties. There is a dialogue in the article. The child who used to go fishing with Santiago talked about his father calling him to another boat and said, "He doesn't have much confidence." "yes." The old man said, "but we do, don't you think?" Santiago's self-confidence is absolute self-confidence, self-confidence that does not change with environmental changes, and self-confidence that does not need to be compared with others. In Santiago's philosophy of existence, even if he encounters extreme bad luck, one can only be confident. Because his "eyes, as blue as the sea, are happy and not depressed." The only certainty when people are alive is to die. Besides, there is nothing inevitable to rely on. Since people live by accident, the only thing that supports people's courage to survive is self-confidence. If you lose self-confidence, will Santiago still have the courage and perseverance to go fishing after so many days of bad luck? Therefore, people must be confident when they are alive, and unconfidence is a luxury that people can't afford. It is precisely because of Santiago's absolute self-confidence that he showed complete tolerance and understanding for the children being called away. Here, self-confidence and tolerance show their connection.
Yes, our life is just like the road under our feet. It can't always be so flat, but it will always be full of gullies. It is always necessary for you to keep going, over the sand, over the mountains and over the deep valleys, in order to reach your destination and reap your share of comfort. The sea sometimes has her quiet side, the blue sky can let go of any thoughts, and you can fully appreciate the unrestrained femininity in her arms; But when the sea is manic, what is presented to you is the monstrous waves and dark clouds. Sometimes you will feel breathless and weighed a thousand pounds, but if you persist in these things, you will be able to survive and be confident, and the sea and air will always clear up. Therefore, there will always be difficulties, but if you persevere and face them, the difficulties will be solved. With self-confidence and striding forward, your life will be wonderful.
I recommend it carefully.
