Although Santiago is an old man with all wrinkles in his face but his eyes are still limpid like sea without any depressed. For Mandolin, the old man is the best fisherman .Even though many fishermen making fun of Santiago, he loves the old man. The old man teaches him how to fish and for them catching fish is not only a job but an important hobby. For example, the boy prepares dinner for him and discusses the old man’s favorite game , baseball , with him . Santiago thinks himself is aged and his strength is not strong anymore but he is determined with a lot of fish catching skills therefore he is still considered as a excellent fisherman.
Eventually , in the 85 day the old man finds a huge marlin which he never had meet in his life . The marlin is gigantic , bigger than he thought and even 2inchs more than the ship. The Marlin stimulates the old man’s determination to beat it.

In the beginning of the story, he is convinced and confident since he thinks that he is out of luck so causes to not catch any fish. Then, when he goes to fishing, although he knows he might not catch any fish due to his unfortunate but for him “Every day is a new day. It is better to be lucky. But [he] would rather be exact. Then when luck comes [he] are ready”. Furthermore , During enduring battle with marlin shows the old man is persevering, he has many changes to give up since the marlin is twice big than himself ,still he holds fast to it and even defeat the marlin .

“Man is not made for defeat. A man can be destroyed but not defeated” is the major theme of the story by showing the tough image of the characters. First of all , since five years old the young boy has been studying how to fish with the old man, so in a way the boy’s personality in which reflects the old man’s . Although the boy is young but not childlike; what he learns from the old man is not only the finishing skills but also the spirit of being a tough man and being responsible. Then, the old man who is brave in every difficulty he encounters . The author makes the old man unsuccessful but his faith and confidence are already overcome all the misfortunes and gains the victory in the end. Therefore, no matter what happens , with your confidence you will never be defeated.
I recommend the book “The old man and the sea” because after reading the book I find myself very cowardly. In reality, people telling us that we would not be successful even we try and no matter what we do the situation would not get better. However, after reading the book, it gives me the strength to keep going. The book describes that us human beings have incalculable powers, how a person mentally wins against the omnipotent nature. An interesting fact that I found out after reading the book is that the story is based on a true story. In fact, after the world war I , Hemingway was migrated to Cube and had met an old fisherman . By a chance, The fisherman saved Hemingway in a hurricane and told him the story. Therefore, Hemingway wrote the book based on the story the old fisherman told him.
This book explains people how to use our most "powerful power" our brain and its secret. The secret is the law of attraction: everything we have in our mind will come to us in someway. Different people in this book comment this law and they explain the reader some "experiments" in how to use it in everyday life. One of them really engaged me: a man made a collage of things he would love to have in his life, after a long time he founded this collage and he was exactly in the house he loved, two sons, a beautiful wife, and different other things! Byrne explains to us the law of attraction in various ways: nothing, good or bad, can come into your experience unless you summon it through persistent thoughts. Your thoughts are the primary cause of everything. Your current reality or your current life is a result of the thoughts you have been thinking. "This is the secret to unlimited joy, health, money, relationships, love, youth: everything you have ever wanted.
1: its called chines Cinderella because in the book all her family members treat her really badly,just like how cinderella had 2 step sisters and a step mother that was not treating her with love and respect..so her life was really bad and the book is very sad..jun-ling's brothers and sister blamed her for their mothers dead because she died right after giving birth to her,so thats why they didnt love her like their sister..
2:at the end of the book she goes to live with her aunt. and this all happend in china,thats also another reason why its called chinese cinderella.
