Hemingway's The Old Man and the Sea? The hero-Santiago, an old man, struggled tirelessly with the fierce and brave evil fish for 8 1 day! He won! He won openly! He is like a standard, standing on the coast, facing the vast sea and rough waves, speechless, just holding his chest and hunting against the sea breeze with a shocking spirit! "One can be defeated, but not defeated." Powerful notes come from Santiago's mouth, no, from his heart. Although he is a fictional character, his spirit is real, his spirit is vivid and shocking! Santiago, an old man who has experienced many vicissitudes, explained his oath with practical actions: one can be defeated, but not defeated! The old man in the novel is like this. What about us? Where are our real people? Life is like a stream, which is dull, radical and deterred. Life is like the sea, there are calm, stormy waves and tsunamis! We can't expect smooth sailing in life, after all, it's too unrealistic. Why pursue unrealistic things? When setbacks come, we should not be afraid! I remember a saying: "When death smiles at me with his fangs, all I can do is smile back!" " "I appreciate the author's demeanor very much, and I want to learn to sing: When setbacks are approaching step by step, what we can do is to face them bravely with confident spears and strong shields! As a tough guy, Santiago uses this image to express the theme of "the brave are fearless". The spirit of Santiago shown in the novel is the fighting spirit of standing up and dying fearlessly, knowing that there is failure ahead. This is the true fearless.
