Writer: Ernest Hemingway
That book was published in 1952. That amazing book got Pulitzer prize in 1953 and in 1954 it got a noble prize. In that book, the main character was a fisherman whose name was Santiago. He was the most unlucky person among fishermen because he had spent 84 days without catching any fish. He was an old man and he had another companion whose name was Marlin. Marlin's parents took marlin from the old man's boat cause the old man was an unfortunate person but Marlin loved the old man because the old man first taught him how to hunt fish. He was a child that's why he did not take any decision against his parents. In the first part of the book, most of the readers found it boring but after finishing half of the book the main interesting part was started. The fisherman fought with a fish. The fish was so much big that it might be bigger than his boat. The size of the fish was 18 feet. It was so much big that the fisherman couldn't pull it. He was determined to catch the fish. He faced many struggles and he did not find time to eat because all of the time he was busy with a fishing rod. At that time the old man was thinking about a boy. If the boy was with him, he could not face difficulty eating food. The old man somehow ate a little bit of small fish which was stored in a boat. He felt pain in his body especially in his hand because his hand did not find any rest. The old man was curious to see the whole body of the fish. After struggling many hours surprisingly he saw the whole body of the fish when it was jumping on the sea. The eye of the fish was like a sea and it was cheerful. The fisherman was little bit afraid when he saw the fish. He told himself that I had to pretend to be strong as if the fish would not understand that I was only an old weak person. He waited until the fish would get weak. He was also thinking about him. His health condition was better than the fish. Finally, with his all experience and determination, he caught the fish. But another problem was happened after catching the fish. The size of the fish was huge so he could not pull it onto his boat that's why he bound it with his boat. After attaching the fish with his boat, he started the journey to come home. while he was going a shark attacked his fish.
Then he fought with that shark. He inserted his knife into the shark's head. Then the shark sank into the sea. But before sinking the shark ate some of the parts of the fish. As the shark ate some of the parts of the fish, the fish was bleeding. Because of bleeding another 2 sharks found a smell and attacked one more time. The old man fought with that 2 sharks and killed them with his knife. Finally, the old man reached the brink of the sea. He was too tired to sleep at the brink of the sea. At that time Marlin came and helped him. The old man was sleeping and in his sleep, he was dreaming of a lion.
