Firstly, I would like to express my sincere

comments on my thesis. It is with
his
valuable assistance that I have finally
accomplished this thesis.

The Old Man and the Sea
The
whole thesis consists of 3 parts. The first part
will give brief introductions
on the
background which contains the social and cultural
aspects and the introduction
to the
author of the masterpiece. In The second part is
going to have a brief
introduction of
the old man and the sea
and
analyze the masculine spirits in
the
old
man and the sea
such as
the faith optimistic and the wisdom of the hero.
In the third
part, it is the natural
conclusion and the deep consideration.
I choose this as my topic due to the
following reasons. Firstly, I am fond of
literature
works. Secondly, I am quite
familiar with this novel as this is one of the
texts in our in
tensive teaching course
and I have taught this text for more than 3 times.
Last but not t
he least,
I’
m deeply appreciated to
the masculine spirit and hope I can get and
practice
it in my future.
For the above facts, I select the subject of The
Masculine Spirit of
The Old Man and the
Sea
as the title of my paper.
I hope by studying this novel we can
know more about the author Hemingway
and his honorable masculine spirit.
“A
man can be destroyed but
not be defeated.
”
Such kind of spirit can
help
us raise our independence and confidence and show
more concern for our mental
health.
That
’
s
all.
Thank you!
