It took me three days to read Hemingway's inspirational novel "The Old Man and the Sea". I was really shocked after reading it. Be impressed by the protagonist's strong, brave, optimistic and wise spirit.

The old man was alone, holding a small boat, sailing on the endless sea. With confidence in his own experience, courage and wisdom, he optimistically believed that the sea would give him fair feedback.

Then he really met a big fish and had a battle with the big fish that was not just about physical strength! It is also a contest of wisdom and perseverance. Although he was driving a small boat, although he was the only one going to sea, and although he was still an old man, he was confident and always optimistic. Even if all the facts prove that he is unlucky and has not caught a fish for 84 consecutive days, he has not lost confidence in himself. He has enough perseverance and courage to compete with that big fish, not only because of his many years of fishing. Fish experience, or because he believes that "people are not born to be defeated."

So, in the end he defeated the big fish. Although the fish caused him a lot of physical injuries, and he was exhausted, and even his mind was a little unclear and his eyes were blurred, but when he saw the big fish, he felt like he was dreaming The same, until the physical pain made him realize that this was not a dream, but that he was really lucky.

He also had a special battle with a big fish, which felt like all his strength was exhausted. But when facing the shark, he resolutely fought with all his strength. He used his wisdom and experience, as well as the only rudimentary tools on the boat, as weapons. He actually defeated those ferocious sharks one by one.

The book "The Old Man and the Sea" is an immortal work, and it is also one of the favorite materials for students to write their reflections after reading. Because the purpose of this book seems to have been clear for a long time, it is nothing more than praising some kind of tough guy, invincible and other Transformer-like thoughts. In addition, the book is very thin, only a novella with tens of thousands of words, and the text seems simple and easy to understand. So even if I really read it, I can't seem to get a clue, so I have to go over and over a few sentences that have been chewed by predecessors and express my feelings from the beginning.

It is mentioned in the preface of the book that Hemingway said, "The old man is the old man, and the child is the child. There is no special symbolic meaning..." The author of the preface said, "But obviously, we can still learn from it. There are a lot of symbolic meanings in "The Old Man and the Sea". "This can be regarded as an explanation, and I have another opinion on it.

Perhaps what people think of as "courage", "fearlessness" and "fighting spirit" is just a solution to the fate of mankind outlined by the author - fighting against fate with a tragic ending, or even That famous monologue: "Man can be destroyed, but he cannot be defeated..." can also be seen as a helpless confrontation. The old man's life is connected with the sea. Can it be said that the sea binds the old man? After a long wait but no reward, the old man is still looking forward to a big fish. What has the old man gained and how much has he lost?

Carrying that "flag that always seems to symbolize failure", what is the "victory" that the old man is waiting for? Even his final harvest, the big marlin, was eaten by sharks until only a skeleton and a skull were left for his children. The old man said that I vomited some strange things last night and felt that something in my chest was broken... At the end, looking at the fish bones floating with the garbage in the bay, the lady said, I never knew sharks were so beautiful. skeleton.

In addition to failure, it is still failure. As a reader, what I see is endless failure. The author seems to be revealing such a "secret": Humanity is failure. No matter how hard you work in one direction, you will eventually get a result that is inconsistent with your expectations due to various reasons. This imperfection is the source of suffering and the theme of "The Old Man and the Sea" as I see it.

Is this the end of the author’s intention? I don't think so. Hidden behind the eyes full of failure is the most sincere desire for victory. The simple world of the old man and the sea described by Hemingway may be a reflection of our complex modern society. The old man's failure seems to be the epitome of everyone's experience. This is like an alarm, always reminding people in the world to pay attention to themselves and the goals and meaning of their lives. After all, we still want to win.

Writing this, my thoughts are over. My perspective may be a little different. What I want to say is that as a modern work, its understanding must not be limited to one point. At the same time, no one can say that their understanding is perfect or correct. Any work can be analyzed at multiple levels. I think this approach is appropriate and appropriate.

After reading this story of "The Old Man and the Sea", I will never forget it for a long time. In the story, an old fisherman went fishing and lost his way at sea, looking for his way home. After a lot of hard work, he finally caught a fish bigger than his boat. At that time, he had been drifting on the boat for dozens of days, suffering from hunger and thirst.

After all, the old man had been wandering on the sea for so long and never wanted to give up. And I just encountered a small difficulty, so why should I give up?

This story reminds me of the Winter Olympics broadcast today, where the Chinese team entered the finals of Wu Dajing. In the semi-finals, when the referee just blew the whistle, Wu Dajing started running at full speed and grabbed the first position. When he had just completed more than two laps, the referee blew the whistle and signaled to stop the game. It turned out that the Canadian player collided with another player, and the blade under his foot was knocked off. This caused Wu Dajing, the Chinese opponent, to run more than two laps and consume a lot of energy, but this did not affect his motivation at all, and he finally successfully advanced to the finals. However, there were actually two players from the Korean team in the final. Wu Dajing had to defeat two Korean players. This was a huge challenge, but Wu Dajing was still so calm and collected.

Wu Dajing is proud of our China. It was not easy for Wu Dajing to achieve his results. How much sweat has gone into it! It’s true that one minute on stage takes ten years off stage.

After reading "The Old Man and the Sea" and watching Wu Dajing win the gold medal for his country, I was greatly inspired. Only perseverance, struggle, and hard work will lead to success. After reading "The Old Man and the Sea" Sample Essay 5 of about 1,000 words

I have read many famous works, but I have never dared to make any comments. This is not entirely due to cowardice, but more out of respect; because as a famous work In fact, they all have a profound side. What appears in the seemingly plain writing is that benevolent people have different opinions and wise people have different opinions. This is why most of the famous works handed down from ancient times are prose and novels. Poems and reviews are because of their distinctive personalities. and viewpoints, making him a hero of the moment, and in the end he was either used as a tool, or became a vase-like display as time went by. Looking at the comment of the author under the banyan tree about "a cloud floating in the distance", the youth of "a cloud" (I'm just talking about thoughts) made her/him see that "the iceberg moving on the sea looks majestic and majestic because of its "Only one-eighth of it is above the water."

After I first watched "The Old Man and the Sea", I only sighed, in the end, people don’t know what they need and what they have conquered; I still sighed like this. After 9.11 and before, Bush may never have The old man who saw his hometown gave him advice; the old man and the sea challenged him and conquered it unyieldingly. But have you ever thought about whether people are unyieldingly creating problems and then solving them? Who conquered whom in the end, what they did after conquering, why they conquered instead of... The connotation of ancient Chinese culture lies in affinity, rather than the power of conquest. Hemingway participated in American heroic thinking, which emphasized the power of conquest. , but after he lost his sight, he began to think about the meaning of conquest, so there was the old man and the sea; the result of the United States in the Vietnam War, Hemingway was the old man in the Vietnam War, and the human consciousness of survival is the sea.

The old man returned empty-handed: "A person is not born to be defeated. You can eliminate him, but he will never be defeated." Defeat him." Human beings are like this, but what about other lives?

"It's just that people are not born for failure", "A person can be destroyed, but not defeated" he said. He is a strong person who is not afraid of difficulties and not afraid of failure. Although he suffered repeated blows, he never gave up the idea of ??finding hope. Although he failed many times, he never became discouraged.
