Article 1: Thoughts after reading "The Old Man and the Sea" by Hemingway
Hemingway's "The Old Man and the Sea" tells an extremely simple story. This is a story that moves everyone who has read it. Among them, I realized the story: An old fisherman named Santiago went fishing alone. After 84 days of catching nothing, I caught a huge marlin. This was a big fish that the old man had never seen or heard of, two feet bigger than his boat. The fish was so big and energetic that it dragged the boat drifting for two days and two nights. The old man went through an unprecedented difficult test during these two days and nights, and finally stabbed the big fish to death and tied it to the bow of the boat. However, he encountered a shark at this time. The old man fought with the shark to the death. As a result, the big marlin was eaten up by the shark. In the end, the old man dragged home only a bare fish skeleton.
Perhaps, the old fisherman in the book was not the final winner, because although he defeated the big marlin at first, he was eventually eaten by the shark. He only brought the fish bones ashore, but he always He did not compromise with the sea, the big marlin, or the shark. He was actually a winner who dared to challenge his own shortcomings and his own courage and confidence.
In the huge waves of the dark night, weak humans are fighting bravely against the powerful nature. Just like facing the unpredictable life of life, what can be destroyed is the body, but what cannot be conquered is the will and spirit. When he returned in the morning, the old man was not left with nothing. The freedom of life obtained by defeating nature and himself was a symbol of his victory.
It is undeniable that everyone has flaws. When a person admits this flaw and strives to overcome it instead of succumbing to it, no matter whether he can finally overcome this flaw in himself, he is a winner, because he has overcome his compromise with the flaw, and he is a winner. Be the winner of your own courage and confidence. The old fisherman is the winner who dares to challenge his own shortcomings and his own courage and confidence. From the perspective of the secular view of victory, the old fisherman was not the final winner, because although he defeated the big marlin at first, the big marlin was eaten by the shark in the end. He only took the white skeleton of the big marlin with him. Back on shore, that is to say, the shark is the winner. However, in the eyes of idealists, the old fisherman is the winner because he never compromised or surrendered to the sea, the big marlin, or the shark.
Human nature is strong, and humans have their own limits, but it is precisely because people like the old fisherman challenge the limits again and again and surpass them that this limit is expanded again and again, and again and again. Putting greater challenges before mankind. In this sense, heroes like the old fisherman Santiago deserve our eternal respect no matter whether they succeed or fail in challenging the limits. "A ship crosses the end of the world and sails towards the unknown sea. On the bow hangs a flag that has been weathered but still extremely gorgeous. On the flag, there are four shining words dancing like clouds and dragons - beyond the limit. !" The author Hemingway said of his work "The Old Man and the Sea".
When we read about the old man fighting hard in the sea and the fish trying to survive, we are willing to believe that this is the value of living, the value of proving one's own existence, and for Young people and middle-aged people should understand the connotation of this book more from this perspective. The struggle may have no results, and everything may be an empty "skeleton". However, there is one thing we must admit, the process of struggle is Admirable? Just like a book reviewer's interpretation of Sun Wukong in "Journey to the West", what readers like most is Sun Wukong in Journey to the West, not the fighting and victorious Buddha who has achieved enlightenment.
Life is like an ocean, very wide and very dangerous. It can push you to a height and make you lose all your happiness in an instant. In order to retain this glimmer of happiness, we will work hard to rush to the top of the waves and use our blood to resolve the sometimes angry ocean. You know, a good fisherman has the will and spirit of Santiago.
I think: Life is like an ocean, sometimes the waves are rough and sometimes the waves are calm.
You can feel perseverance in the wind, and excitement in the waves! These are the joys and pains that the process brings to us.
Part 2: Thoughts after reading "The Old Man and the Sea" by Hemingway
"Man is not born for failure. A person can be destroyed, but he cannot be defeated." In the text of "The Old Man and the Sea" once said so. People may fail, but what matters is how they face failure. After failure, stand up again, continue to fight, and fight for victory. Even if we fail to succeed in the end, we should still be a hero who is not afraid of failure. At least we can say: "We have been here, we have seen it, and we have tried it."
"The Old Man and the Sea" This story tells the story of an old fisherman who didn't catch any fish for eighty-four days and decided to go fishing alone in the open sea. A big marlin was hooked, but the old man could not conquer it in a short time. But the old man made up his mind and struggled with the big fish until it was tied to the side of the boat. Attracted by the smell of blood, the sharks attacked the carcass of the big marlin again and again, so that in the end only a skeleton remained of the old man's "trophy". The old man returned home and once again dreamed of the lion.
Struggle, the old man works hard towards hope.
On the vast sea, pain comes again and again, and difficulties become stumbling blocks again and again. But did the old man shrink back? No. Has he ever thought about giving up? Maybe, but with the support of courage and strong faith, he persisted. In the face of difficulties, the old man did not give in. The old man is a hero and an invincible giant!
Perseverance, the old man has strong perseverance.
He endured severe pain, but still fought against the big marlin and completed his mission. Perseverance is the guarantee of success. The road to success may not be smooth sailing. It may be full of difficulties or obstacles. But it cannot stop a perseverant person. "Difficulties are like springs. If you are weak, they will be strong. If you are strong, they will be weak." With perseverance, you have courage; with courage, you have the determination to overcome difficulties; with determination, no matter how big the difficulty is, it will not be a problem!
When the old man was delirious, his perseverance made him persevere. How can we fight a life-and-death struggle with a big marlin and fight desperately with sharks without strong perseverance and firm determination? When you clear away the fog of difficulties, you will see new glory. "If you don't go through wind and rain, how can you see a rainbow." After experiencing hardships, you will become more determined and brave, and you will see new hope. Looking back, I realize how bumpy the road I have traveled has been and how difficult it has been to do what I have done. And will be proud of myself and have no regrets. Seeing the footprints I left, I was so surprised. The old man would feel the same way when he saw the skeleton of a big marlin!
Persistence, the old man always persists and never gives up.
Part 3: Thoughts after reading "The Old Man and the Sea" by Hemingway
After a person experiences hardships and ups and downs, he will become stronger.
The strong will only become stronger, just like the story of Santiago, the protagonist of Hemingway's "The Old Man and the Sea" written by Hemingway in the 20th century, an old man burdened with fate, who encountered difficulties and coexisted at sea. Eventually lost at sea.
"The happiest thing in the world is to fight for your ideals." There is such a part in "The Old Man and the Sea". Santiago did not catch any fish for 84 consecutive days and went to sea on the 85th day. After three days and two nights of fighting, a big marlin of more than 500 pounds was caught, but in the end the big marlin was eaten, and Santiago came back alive. Santiago came back alive, but the big marlin he caught was eaten. One can imagine what he went through! However, just like some of my classmates now, they have suffered a little setback in life, study and thinking because of the poor running conditions of the school. They have to find a teacher or immerse themselves in that little setback all day long. There is no doubt that he is one of the most failed human beings. He blindly chooses to escape and wants to find a haven. However, this is a real problem. If he chooses to escape, he will never be able to solve this small problem. . So he can only face reality with Gaba.
"But a person is not born to be defeated," he said, "You can destroy him as much as you want, but you can't defeat him." This is what Santiago said that touched me the most. One sentence. Why do you say that? Because this sentence made me understand that life is like the sea, there are calm waves, waves, and even tsunamis! I cannot expect life to be smooth sailing, but peak waves cannot become an obstacle to our pursuit of ideals in life. After all, there are too many live cases in real life, and the same is true for today's richest man in Asia, Jack Ma. He has faced the college entrance examination three times, and the first two times ended in failure due to low math scores. When faced with such a small setback, it seems Not taking it lightly, he once again faced the college entrance examination and performed at an extraordinary level. His math score exceeded the scores of all ordinary exams. In the eyes of ordinary people, that score is nothing, but it is a huge turning point for Jack Ma, just because He has such a spirit of being able to face setbacks and overcome them. This alone is enough to make him a successful person. Remember a sentence: "When death smiles at us with its fangs, all we can do is Give me a smile!" Just like the old man Santiago, he was not afraid of the brave evil fish and gave the evil fish a smile. Yes, when we face various difficulties and setbacks in life, we should be fearless like Santiago, be magnanimous in victory, and bravely step over setbacks as stepping stones, giving way to setbacks. Smile back!
"The old man's mind is clear and normal now. He has strong determination, but he does not hold out much hope." Yes, at least the old man Santiago's mind is in such a critical situation. He is awake and normal, and he has strong determination to fight the evil fish. Messi, the giant on the football field who "doesn't grow taller", was smaller than other children since he was a child. Later, he was diagnosed with a lack of developmental hormones, which would hinder his growth. After that, he started treatment, and he would After giving himself an injection of growth hormone, he did not complain and adapted to this life. In 2007, he had been on the bench and achieved today's achievements with one kick. His success, in addition to talent, relies more on personal efforts and the spirit of daring to face difficulties. A person will encounter many difficulties, obstacles and adversities in his life. Only by facing setbacks bravely like Santiago It's your choice.
Thoughts after reading "The Old Man and the Sea" by Hemingway
The early autumn sunshine shines on the black text on the white paper, and the words are rendered extremely vividly. The salty sea breeze, the surging waves, the colorful fish, shrimp and algae in the clear water... little by little, they spread out in my mind like a parchment scroll, so vivid that they can be felt and touched. Like being there.
Hemingway's writing is calm, deep and silent, as full of wise and philosophical thoughts as an old man who has gone through vicissitudes of life. He spoke with a calm tone but full of enthusiasm, telling us a simple but profound story.
The brush strokes, which are as delicate as oil paints, depict the image of the protagonist in varying shades - thin but tough, old and sunny. Healthy skin with wrinkles. "Those eyes are optimistic and never give up, and the color is like the sea." The finishing touch is necessary. It is these eyes, like the windows to the soul, that immediately reflect the personality and soul of the old man.
The old man was confident, brave, optimistic and persistent. On the sea, he fought bravely with big and powerful fish and ferocious sharks. Although what he got in the end was just a pair of fish bones, his soul seemed very strong. There is vivid color and dignity.
"Every day is a new day." His heart is always full of sunshine and hope. This enthusiasm of the soul makes his eyes and even his whole person young and energetic. "It's nice to be lucky, but I'd rather be precise. That way when the opportunity comes, you'll be ready." It's said to do your best to wait for destiny. On the other hand, this sentence can also be regarded as saying that destiny is our own choice to go on. This does not violate. I think fate can arrange us, but we are more able to control fate. We have the ability to fight. The difference here is that the latter is active, while the former is somewhat passive.
Although we reach the same goal by different paths, there are some subtle differences in mentality. In principle, there is no right or wrong, but I am more inclined to take the initiative to fight. Maybe after all, we are young and should have an excited heart, active consciousness and impulsiveness. Power-impulse refers to courage and fighting spirit.
I like his words: "People are not born for failure. A person can be destroyed, but cannot be defeated." He is an old fisherman who has been running around in wind and waves all his life. But his heart is still like a child - those winds and waves have polished his soul to be stronger and more unyielding and shining, enough to confront the winds and waves with ten times a hundred times the enthusiasm, and he will live younger and younger. This also tells us that life is about striving for bright hope. It is meaningless to live with a negative attitude. We cannot shrink back even in the face of catastrophic disasters. Even destruction is a kind of glory. Use these powerful oaths to declare that he will never give up - wind and waves can destroy his body, but at least his mind is invincible. His strength is awe-inspiring, and he himself is so convinced.
It is precisely because of his belief that he regards the big fish as his real opponent. He prays for the fish before it dies and calls it "amazing" from the bottom of his heart. He is determined to defeat it. This is An irrevocable, great and glorious decision. This fish is calm, strong, confident and fearless. The relationship between them is not simply that of fishermen and prey, but a glorious battle. The battlefield is the sea, fighting for glorious dignity and the road to survival. So respect the fish as much as I respect him.
His heart is sincere and enthusiastic, bright and unyielding. He praises big fish but disdains jellyfish and sharks. Sharks are violent and evil things. They follow the smell of blood and sneak up on them without being afraid of them. In the end, they defeat them with courage and wisdom. As for jellyfish, they are false animals and sinister. He looks down on them. He likes to watch turtles eat them and completely eliminate them. And he sympathizes with and loves turtles - he himself is like turtles, even if they are slaughtered and chopped into several pieces, their hearts are still beating a few hours later - his unyielding heart and hands and feet are tenaciously fighting for the value of life. interest.
