The old man and the sea bid farewell to weapons. This is a surprise. I originally wanted to see the old man and the sea, but I didn't expect the latter part to be Hemingway's novel A Farewell to Weapons.
The old man and Hai Yuan read some excerpts from textbooks, and then they met again on the reader's program.
I thought it was probably about: San Diego didn't catch any fish for a long time. On the last trip to sea, I met a very big fish. After fighting with it, I met a group of sharks and finally dragged the fish bones back to the fishing village.
sang the praises of San Diego's super willpower in the face of great challenges, and his super-firm belief and confidence that he dared to challenge without fear of failure and headed for victory.
that's what I thought before, and I learned something from these scattered ways. So I thought I didn't need to see it anymore. I didn't start reading this book until I realized after a period of reading and kept awe of everything.
After reading The Old Man and the Sea, I think it is really an excellent short story. It's really funny to see yourself in the mirror.
From this book, I can feel that the old man Santiago still has extremely rich fishing experience, which can be regarded as a master of a generation. On his 85th fishing trip, he made an evaluation on the behaviors of several fishermen nearby.
Although they fished the fish to a very deep place at first, with the swimming of their boat, the fishing position actually reached a very shallow position from the water surface, and many times in the book, it was described that the old man always kept his fish vertical in the sea, so as not to scare the fish.
On the other hand, Santiago compared the sea to a gentle woman, even if she made any mistakes, she had to. It can be seen that his love for the sea is beyond words, a very sincere feeling.
It is the basic condition for their survival and the material source for them to rely on the mountains to eat and the water to eat. Farmers, fishermen or foresters can always feel their deep love for the land, the sea or the forest. With great love for them, we can stand on the top of the mountain.
and among them, I admire and admire the excellent qualities that San Diego has shown in the face of many things, which is worth learning.
"I'm willing to do my preparation to the letter, so that once my luck comes, I'll be more sure to catch my prey." Opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared!
"Hey, if people hear me like this, they will think I'm crazy. However, since I am not crazy, I have to say something. " Go your own way and let others talk!
"He has proved it countless times in his previous fishing experience, but he thinks that none of them is as important as the current one. Moreover, according to the temperament of the old man, when he makes up his mind, he never thinks about the past. " The past belongs to death, and now belongs to yourself!
During catching the big fish, the old man's left hand convulsed several times, but he still said to himself that he would not lose to the dying fish, so try again! The old man's will is incredibly strong.
"Man is not born to fail. A man can be destroyed, but not defeated." Finally, this classic quote tells the story of Santiago's firm belief.
once a person's faith is defeated, he has already been defeated, so no matter what he faces, he must not let his faith die. Often will can pull people back from the brink of death.
There are many details in A Farewell to Arms, which can make readers feel the scene at that time and what the author wants to express. This work is proposing that no matter whether the troops win or fail, people will always suffer.
The wish of most people is that "the end of the war is not hopeless forever, but sometimes I feel that there is no hope. I always try my best to find hope, but sometimes I can't." Everyone is eager for the end of the war, but it seems that at that time, there was no hope at all.
People always say that hope is possible, and "hope" is often the strength that people can sustain. However, it seems that their hopes can't be realized at all, so it is conceivable how desperate people were at that time and how painful it was to live in despair. It can be said that the author vividly depicts the cruelty brought by the war.
Secondly, I also learned the difference between a major general and a captain from A Farewell to Arms. The higher the management position, the stronger the ability (under normal circumstances), so don't just look at the size of an official position, but it reflects a huge gap in professional ability. Therefore, we have to have strength to keep up with our ambitions.
Also, the performance of pregnant women before giving birth in this work is the most detailed process I have ever seen. The long wait made even the onlookers anxious.
Finally, A Farewell to Arms ends with a tragic love story between a lieutenant and a nurse. Their feelings gradually fell in love later. In fact, after the nurse said that the doctor said that her pelvis was narrow, it may have sealed her fate. Take this lieutenant as a clue and follow him to understand war, friendship and love. The most shocking thing is the cruelty of war!
