1The Old Man and the Sea is the most classic and concernful novel of Hemmingway's. Its compendious expression and exciting fighting narrative attracts numerous readers. The author repeatedly emphasized his customary key thoughts in the story: despairing courage, struggling on both physically and psychologically, and the hero's brave, glory and noble character. One of the pivotal sentences, a man can be destroyed but not defeated draws our attention. This sentence is gorgeous in surface but a little doubtful in a certain angle. In the end of the story the old man told to the boy that he was a loser who beaten by the sharks. With his bloody hands and the skeleton of the fish, it was really difficult to judge that he was defeated or not. However, he was undoubtedly destroyed in the fighting at the hopeless sea. Therefore, the difference between destroy and defeated was just something untraceable. We are not expected to tell one word form another, but to feel the antinomy and contact of them. This sentence from the old man was also a reflection of the author himself. Sometimes we may treat a novel as some individual and emotional words. The old man and the sea were the symbols of the author and his life and destiny. As we know, Hemingway suffered a lot from his broken life during two ruthless world wars. In his late years, he was a successful litterateur but also a disable old man. He ended up his life with suicide. It's too arbitrary to say he was defeated from his fate, and also too shallow to use the word destroy in his experiences. In my opinion, the most splendid thing in Hemmingway and his the Old Man and the Sea is not the VICTORY OF DEFEAT, but the relationship between the two words defeat and destroy as well as the novel and the author.2I have read the American well-known Hemingway’s book ‘’ the old man and the sea’’, which came out in 1976. This is a true story about an old fisherman battling with a giant marlin in the sea.The old fisherman, who names Santiago, have not caught any fish for 84 days , other fishermen looks down him as a loser, but he never gives up. Finally 85th days, he fishes a big marlin fish which is bigger than his skiff and over fifteen hundred pounds. The fish begins to tow him farther and farther out to the sea, but he still holds onto the line, even though a hand is cramping, he don’t give up it. After two days and two nights’ crucifixion, at the end he kills the fish, and attaches the marlin to the outside of the skiff with rope, it’s blood leaves a trail in the water and attracts sharks in return journey, he comes to strike back against and uses to all tools which are harpoon, knife, and quant . When Santiago returns to harbor is left over with the fish head fishtail and one backbone. Although the flesh of fish has been got rid of all quilt barking, what also has no way to devastate his brave will. When he lay down on the bed at home, he makes a usual dream of lions at play on the beaches of Africa.This story happened in 1940th near a Gulf Stream in Cuba. The main character Santiago is an old man, who fishes alone in a skiff in the Gulf Stream and lives a small village. He is characterized as someone struggling against defeat. The second character Manolin is a young boy whom Santiago teaches to fish. The litter boy is his loyal friend. Language is great simplicity and power. The theme of courage in the face of defeat, of personal triumph won from loss. It is a song of praise of heroism. The Author, Ernest Miller Hemingway is a famous writer in the literary world. ‘’The old man and the sea’’ was written in 1952, and it is one of Hemingway’s most enduring works .It won the 1954 Nobel Prize for Literature. The author wants to told readers ,you will be supposed to like this old person same mind lofty aspiration, and will even better pursue even better, the bigger goal, don’t easy give up your goal in your life. The novel shows a view about struggle of life, even in the face of nature can’t be conquered, but still can be moral victory. Perhaps the result of a failure, but I n the struggle of process, the reader can see how a person become an indomitable spirit of man. I like the main character Santiago and the classic saying ‘’But man is not made for defeat. A man can be destroyed but not defeated’’, because this is Santiago’s faith of life, and the human will not fail also, the enterprise spirit of a carols. It is encouraging me to face up to life with smiles no matter what happens. It's a simple story, but offers the reader much to think about without lapsing into the didactic. I am strongly recommend that book.3THE OLD MAN AND THE SEA Ernest Hemingway New York: Charles Scribner?s Sons, 1952127 pages.Comments by Bob CorbettJanuary 2006Once again I return to the work of Ernest Hemingway after an almost 50 year hiatus. The Old Man and the Sea is a magnificent story. At one level it is the tale of a man and a fish, at another, a story of man versus nature, at yet another, the story of the culture of manhood, courage, bravery in the face of existence, and at yet another a history of what life was like when individuals were more the central actors on the human stage and not groups or organizations. At the most basic level the very elderly fisherman, Santiago, goes out in his small fishing boat after 84 days without hooking a decent fish. He goes far out, and hooks a gigantic 18 foot long sword fish. The battle then begins, and the fish drags the small boat and Santiago far out to sea. For two days they battle, and Santiago wins that battle, but then loses the great fish on the way home to the scavenger sharks who find him easy prey. Hemingway celebrates the courage and raw guts of this old man, even recounting a time in Casablanca when he had spent an entire day in an arm wrestling match with a much larger man in a seaside tavern. Hemingway celebrates a concept of humans as beings who go it alone, fierce, brave, courageous without even thinking about it, oozing strength from the nature of the best of the species. The story is told with incredible economy of words and description, yet nothing is sacrificed which drives home the power and inner strength of this man, who just takes it as what he does, what it is to be a serious fisherman. Hemingway?s world is not my world. I am no Santiago, no macho man. And the culture of today has little place left for the radical individual whom Hemingway celebrates and Santiago portrays. Yet the power of Hemingway?s telling is such that I couldn?t help but be on Santiago?s side, to admire him, to ache with his loss in the end to forces greater than he. There is a side tale as well. This great individual, the man who stands alone, is not alone completely by choice. He has developed a friendship, a working relationship, a love with a young boy who began fishing with him when the boy was only five. Now the boy has moved on to another boat, a more successful one, at his parents? behest, but he pines to work with Santiago, and when the battle with the great fish has been engaged, Santiago pleads over and over and over: ?I wish the boy were here.? Like many readers who might come upon this novel today, I live a life of citified ease and comfort. A life far removed from harsh confrontations with nature. But Hemingway forces me to remember and acknowledge the individual, the struggle for the most basic existence, the battle with nature for survival itself. But most importantly he makes one acknowledge the importance of the individual and the magnificence of courage, skill, art and endurance.5The Old Man and the SeaSimon & SchusterThe Old Man and the Sea was an enormous success for Ernest Hemingway when it was published in 1952. At first glance, the story appears to be an extremely simple story of an old Cuban fisherman (Santiago), who catches an enormously large fish then loses it again. But, there's much more to the story than that...The Old Man and the Sea helped to revive Hemingway's reputation as a writer of great acclaim. This slim volume also contributed enormously to Hemingway's recognition as a world-renowned writer--with the award of the Nobel Prize for literature. The popular reception of the novel comes from its part-parable, part-eulogy style--recollecting a by-gone age in this spiritual quest for discovery. Touching and powerful in turns, the story is told in Hemingway's simple, brittle style. The book reaches out to a very human need--for stability and certainty.Overview: The Old Man and the SeaSantiago is an old man, and many are starting to think that he can no longer fish. He has gone for many months without landing any kind of fish to speak of; and his apprentice, a young man named Manolin, has gone to work for a more prosperous boat. The fisherman sets out into the open sea and goes a little further out than he normally would in his desperation to catch a fish. At noon, a big Marlin takes hold of one of the lines, but the fish is far too big for him to handle.Hemingway pays great attention to the skill and dexterity that Santiago uses in coping with the fish. Santiago lets the fish have enough line, so that it won't break his pole; but he and his boat are dragged out to sea for three days. Finally, the fish--an enormous and worthy opponent--grows tired; and Santiago kills it. Even this final victory does not end the Santiago's journey; he is a still far, far out to sea. To make matters worse, Santiago drags the Marlin behind the boat (and the blood from the dead fish attracts sharks).Santiago does his best to beat the sharks away, but his efforts are not enough. The sharks eat the flesh off the Marlin, and Santiago is left with only the bones. Santiago gets back to shore--weary and tired--with nothing to show for his pains but the skeletal remains of a large Marlin. Even with just the bare remains of the fish, the experience has changed him, and altered the perception others have of him. Manolin wakes him the morning after his return and suggests that they once more fish together.6I was very surprised when I finally tried to read this, and discovered that it bored the living crap out of me. I just couldn't get into it, I don't know why, maybe it was just my mood or something....? I mean, I do like Hemingway. I love the sea, and baseball. I am relatively fond of both old men and little boys (not like that, you fool).... and this is supposed to be really terrific and all, but I just.... I mean, I could've finished it of course, it's short, and it wouldn't have been like torture at all, but I just wasn't feeling it.... so I stopped. Sometimes I think about making an okay-so-does-this-mean-i'm-stupid-or-something? shelf, but my ideological opposition to the idea has overridden that impulse every time.... so far.

老人這種面對困難毫不氣餒的精神很值得我們學(xué)習(xí)。

老人與海的讀后感
《老人與?!犯小 ∫粋€簡單的個平凡的老人,一條普通馬林魚,在茫茫大海上發(fā)生了看似平凡而又不平凡的經(jīng)歷。
也沒有大海,就沒有魚,沒有魚,也就沒有魚夫,同樣也就沒有折斷不凡的經(jīng)歷了。
正因為有了大海,才讓魚夫釣上了一條大馬林魚,但卻在海上拖了三天三夜才把魚殺死,但又遭到鯊魚的襲擊,賊后的結(jié)局可想而知,這條大馬林魚只剩下了魚頭魚尾和一條脊骨。
一切的肉體都不復(fù)存在了,剩下的只是一個軀殼,一個沒有靈魂的軀殼,任人擺布。
但是誰又愿意去操控它呢
它只不過是一堆毫無利用價值的骨架。
然而,一個悲劇性的故事里,卻折射出一個“英雄人物”——老人圣地亞哥。
連續(xù)八十四天沒有捕到魚,在別人眼中他是一個失敗者。
因為作為魚夫,捕不到魚,還能算是真正的魚夫嗎
而可貴的還是他卻能在第八十五天決心駛向遠(yuǎn)方的大海去釣魚,那種“知其不可為而為之”的勇氣,難道不令我佩服嗎
不論是魚叉,小刀,短棍。
一次一次被鯊魚帶走,但他始終用盡一切手段進行反擊,什么也無法摧殘他英勇的意志。
一句“我跟你奉陪到死”,夾雜在大海的咆哮聲中,回響在我耳旁。
一個人把生命都壓上去了,與敵人做殊死的博斗,能不算英勇嗎
我想鯊魚正是宇宙間一切破壞性力量的化身,而老人正是正義的使者。
在人的一身中隨時隨地都存在這股破壞力量,人生是不停地循環(huán)著,喜劇的落幕,不就是悲劇的上演;悲劇的落幕,也就意味著喜劇的再度登場。
老人將大馬林魚殺死看似是完美的結(jié)果,但同時他也還在“醞釀”這自己的悲劇。
鯊魚的襲擊,就是應(yīng)得的報應(yīng)。
一個人活在世上總是有所追求的,無論追求的東西是好是壞,追求的手段是正義,是卑劣,也許能夠得到就是最好的結(jié)果吧。
在充滿悲劇色彩的全之中,仍有一絲亮點,那就是孩子。
孩子帶回了老人的青春,使他找回了自我。
如果沒一個人都擁有一份童心,一份天真,那世界不再總是灰色,就算當(dāng)時你享有的是最后的晚餐,也不回忘記飯前洗手,飯后漱口了。
回想起文中老人的話“人不是為失敗而生的,一個人可以被毀滅,但不能給打敗”,不正道出了本文的主體嗎
人正的是很奇怪的動物,為何有勇氣面對死亡,卻沒有勇氣面對失敗呢
難道失敗真的如此可怕嗎
冷冷的海風(fēng)里夾雜著一股血腥,也許真正害怕的可能是這些吧
老人與海50字讀后感,要一段一段的。
就是片段的讀后感啦。
《老人與?!分校陋毜睦蠞O夫桑提亞哥已經(jīng)不僅僅是條硬漢,他身上所體現(xiàn)的精神價值,完全是古希臘悲劇精神的現(xiàn)代回響。
在《老人與?!分?,海明威終于為他所鐘愛的硬漢找到了靈魂,這靈魂就是人類亙古不變的永恒價值。
這價值中包括的就是人的自信。
桑提亞哥連續(xù)出海八十四天了,一條魚也沒捕到。
可是,“那雙眼睛啊,像海水一樣藍(lán),是愉快的,毫不沮喪的。
”原先跟隨桑提亞哥出海捕魚的小孩,談到他爸爸把他叫到別的船上去,說道:“他沒多大的自信。
”“是的。
”老頭兒說,“可是我們有,你說是不是
” 桑提亞哥的自信是絕對自信,是不以環(huán)境變化而變化的自信,是不用與他人比較的自信。
在桑提亞哥的生存哲學(xué)中,即使遭遇到了極點的背運,人也只能自信。
人活著,唯一能確定的必然,就是走向死亡。
除此之外,沒有任何必然的東西可以依靠。
既然人是靠偶然活著的,那么支撐人生存勇氣的,就只有自信了。
如果喪失了自信,在持續(xù)那么多天的背運之后,桑提亞哥還有勇氣和毅力出海捕魚嗎
因此人活著就必須自信,不自信是人消費不起的奢侈品。
正因為桑提亞哥有著絕對自信,他對小孩被叫走,表示了完全的寬容和理解。
在這里,海明威展現(xiàn)了自信與寬容之間的聯(lián)系。
從物質(zhì)上來說,老人搏斗了三天三夜的結(jié)果是失敗了;但從人的精神、從人的自信自尊,從人勇于和命運作竭盡全力的抗?fàn)巵碚f,桑提亞哥取得了勝利。
說到底,人的真正勝利也只能是精神的勝利。
人在物質(zhì)上無論取得多大的成就,都不能贏得我們崇高的敬意。
而只有精神和氣魄的勝利,才使我感動,才使我和追隨老人的孩子一樣,為他的悲壯落淚。
