老人与
海英语读后感
(
一
)
When
I
was
a
middle
school
student,
I
’
ve
finished
this book in when
I read it in English,I really gain
something new both in the way of
expression and the
spirit it shows to
be different ages to read the same
book
we will learn different things from least, for
my part, that is true.
Firstly,I would like to
review some information
about
this as
the
background,major
characters
and
the
topic of
it.
The
Old
Man
and
the
Sea
is
a
story
by
Ernest
Hemingway,
written
in
Cuba
in
1951
and
published
in
1952.
It was the last major
work of fiction to be produced
by
Hemingway and published in his lifetime. One of
his
most famous works, it centers upon
Santiago, an aging
Cuban fisherman who
struggles with a giant marlin far
out
in the Gulf Stream.
The Old Man and the Sea served to
reinvigorate
Hemingway's
literary
reputation
and
prompted
a
reexamination of his entire body of
work. The novella
was
initially
received
with
much
popularity;
it
restored
many
readers'
confidence
in
Hemingway's
capability
as
an
author.
Its
publisher,
Scribner's,
on
an
early
dust
jacket,
called
the
novella
a
classic,
such
works
as
William
Faulkner's
Bear
and
Herman
Melville's Moby-Dick.
This
book
gives
me
a
deep
impression
especially
the
description
about
the
man
’
s
braveness
and
persistence.
In this book, in order to suggest the
profundity
of the old
man
’
s sacrifice and the
glory that derives
from
it,
Hemingway
purposefully
likens
Santiago
to
Christ,
who,
according
to
Christian
theology,
gave
his
life for
the greater glory of humankind. Crucifixion
imagery is the most noticeable way in
which Hemingway
creates
the
symbolic
parallel
between
Santiago
and
Christ. When
Santiago
’
s palms are first
cut by his
fishing
line,
the
reader
cannot
help
but
think
of
Christ
suffering
his
stigmata.
Later,
when
the
sharks
arrive,
Hemingway portrays
the old man as a crucified martyr,
saying that he makes a noise similar to
that of a man
having
nails
driven
through
his
hands.
Furthermore,
the
image of the old man struggling up the
hill with his
mast
across
his
shoulders
recalls
Christ
’
s
march
toward
Calvary.
Even
the
position
in
which
Santiago
collapses
on his bed
—
face
down with his arms out straight and
the
palms of his hands up
—
brings
to mind the image of
Christ
suffering
on
the
cross.
Hemingway
employs
these
images in the final pages of the
novella in order to
link
Santiago
to
Christ,
who
exemplified
transcendence
by
turning
loss
into
gain,
defeat
into
triumph,
and
even
death into renewed
life.
The major
characters in this book are also vivid
and lively.
Santiago?,the old man of the
novella
’
s title,
Santiago is a Cuban fisherman who has
had an extended
run of bad luck.
Despite his expertise, he has been
unable to catch a fish for eighty-four
days. He is
humble,
yet
exhibits
a
justified
pride
in
his
abilities.
His knowledge of the sea and its
creatures, and of his
craft, is
unparalleled and helps him preserve a sense
of hope regardless of circumstance.
The
marlin?,Santiago hooks the marlin, which we
learn
at
the
end
of
the
novella
measures
eighteen
feet,
on
the
first
afternoon
of
his
fishing
expedition.
Manolin?,a boy presumably in his
adolescence, Manolin
is
Santiago
’
s apprentice and
devoted attendant. The
old
man
first
took
him
out
on
a
boat
when
he
was
merely
five years old. Due to
Santiago
’
s recent bad luck,
Manolin
’
s parents
have forced the boy to go out on a
different fishing boat. Manolin,
however, still cares
deeply for the old
man, to whom he continues to look
as a
mentor.
Joe
DiMaggio, although DiMaggio never appears in
the novel, he plays a significant role
nonetheless.
Santiago
worships
him
as
a
model
of
strength
and
commitment,
and
his
thoughts
turn
toward
DiMaggio
whenever
he
needs
to
reassure
himself
of
his
own
strength.
Perico
?,Perico,
the
reader
assumes,
owns
the
bodega
in
Santiago
’
s
village.
He
never
appears
in
the
novel,
but
he
serves
an
important
role
in
the
fisherman
’
s
life
by
providing
him
with
newspapers
that
report
the
baseball
scores.
This
act
establishes
him
as
a
kind
man
who helps the aging
Santiago.
Martin,like
Perico,
Martin,
a
caf
é
owner
in
Santiago
’
s
village,
does
not
appear
in
the
story.
The
reader
learns of him through Manolin, who often goes
to Martin for
Santiago
’
s supper. As the
old man says,
Martin is a man of
frequent kindness who deserves to
be
repaid.
From
the
very
first
paragraph,
Santiago
is
characterized
as
someone
struggling
against
defeat.
He
has
gone eighty-four days without catching a
fish
—
he will soon pass his
own record of eighty-seven days.
Almost
as
a
reminder
of
Santiago
’
s
struggle,
the
sail
of
his
skiff
resembles
“
the
flag
of
permanent
defeat.
”
But
the
old
man
refuses
defeat
at
every
turn:
he
resolves
to
sail
out
beyond
the
other
fishermen
to
where
the biggest fish
promise to be. He lands the marlin,
tying his record of eighty-seven days
after a brutal
three-day fight, and he
continues to ward off sharks
from
stealing
his
prey,
even
though
he
knows
the
battle
is useless.
Because
Santiago is pitted against the creatures
