"A person can be destroyed, but cannot be defeated." The words of an old man echoed in my ears, and the fight between the old man and the sea seemed to be unfolding before my eyes... An old fisherman named Santiago went fishing alone. After enduring hunger for 84 days, he caught nothing and caught a huge marlin, which was even longer than his boat. . After dragging the big fish on the sea for many days, the old man finally stabbed the big fish to death.

Unexpectedly, the blood attracted swarms of sharks. The old man and the sharks started a desperate struggle, but what was dragged ashore was a devoured fish skeleton. On the surface, the old man is not the final winner. He just brought back the skeleton of the big marlin. The shark is the winner. But the old man always insisted not to give in to the sea, marlins, and sharks. In the eyes of readers, he is the winner. The old man once thought: This place is too close to the coast. Maybe there will be bigger fish further away... I admire this old man's courage and pursuit, because he is not satisfied with the current situation, but strives for bigger fish. goal forward. When I saw "the old man held the steel fork high in his right hand, and threw it towards its heart as hard as he could the moment it jumped out of the water. He screamed all his life and ended the life of the big fish. It floated quietly on the water..." At this time, my hanging heart also fell to the ground. I admire the old man's spirit of fearlessness and perseverance. He knew that his opponent was very strong, but he still faced the difficulties. It was precisely because of this spirit that the old fisherman won this life-and-death contest. Human nature is strong, and humans themselves have their own limits, but it is precisely because people like the old fisherman challenge the limits time and time again and surpass themselves. In this sense, heroes like the old fisherman Santiago who never give up, no matter whether the result of their challenge is success or failure, are worthy of our eternal respect. Thousands of difficulties, thousands of courages! Falling down thousands of times, standing up thousands of times! The fight between the old man and the sea is shocking! This human spirit of pursuing higher and stronger promotes the continuous progress of society. Excellent reading review of "The Old Man and the Sea" 2

In March this year, I read the novel "The Old Man and the Sea" by the famous American writer Hemingway. I admire the will of the old fisherman in the novel very much. He made me understand that a person must have the spirit of perseverance in order to achieve success.

The novel describes an old fisherman who was nearly sixty years old. When he went fishing alone, he caught a big fish but could not pull it up. After dealing with the fish for several days, the old fisherman discovered that it was a big marlin several times larger than his own fishing boat. Although he knew it was difficult to win, he still did not give up. Later, the fishy smell on the big marlin's wound attracted several groups of sharks to eat, but the old man still refused to give up. He finally broke through and brought the big fish back to the fishing port, which impressed other fishermen. When I read "The old fisherman thought: This is really too close to the coast, maybe there will be bigger fish further away...", I admired the old fisherman very much, because he had already caught it. Lots of fish, but instead of resting on his laurels, he moved toward bigger goals.

We should be as ambitious as this old man and pursue better and larger goals. The bloody smell of the big fish was smelled by a group of sharks, and they swam over to grab the food. The old man's left hand happened to be cramping, so he could only use his right hand, using wooden sticks, the mouths of caught swordfish, and other weapons that could be used to attack. self-defense and eventually drove off the group of sharks. But most of the meat of the big fish had been eaten, and the old man humorously criticized his left hand for "resting when it should be working." I was also impressed by the old man's optimistic spirit. In life, some losses are inevitable. We should treat them with an optimistic attitude and not be careless. The novel praises the spirit of the old fisherman who is not afraid of hardships and hard work. We should be like him, not satisfied with the status quo, but positive and perseverant in everything we do. When encountering difficulties, we must face them and never give up halfway. Only in this way can we achieve greater success and victory. Excellent reading review of "The Old Man and the Sea" 3

"A man is not born to be defeated. You can eliminate him as much as you can, but you can't defeat him." This wise saying is from Hemingway's work Santiago said it in "The Old Man and the Sea". His perseverance deeply infected me.

"The Old Man and the Sea" tells the story of an old fisherman named Santiago who failed to catch a fish for 84 days. In order to prove himself, he went to sea again. On the sea, he encountered a marlin that was bigger than his boat. He kept dealing with the fish and spent three days finally killing it. However, on the way back, the marlin attracted a swarm of sharks. So, he started fighting against the shark group again. In the end, when he returned to Hong Kong, only the skeleton of a big marlin was left. A short story, but it creates an image of a tough guy who fights tenaciously.

We think the old man is a failure, but in fact he is a winner!

In the article, the old man experienced many difficulties, such as hunger, thirst, fatigue, cramps, sharks... But the old man kept strengthening his belief. During two days and two nights, he did not give up; When fighting the big marlin, he didn't give up; when fighting the shark, he didn't give up even more. We admire the old man's will.

Looking at the image of the old man and the tough guy in the book, I couldn't help but think of myself, a cowardly self. My English foundation was poor, so I often failed in exams, so I made up my mind to memorize English words and read and memorize them every day, hoping to get good grades in the exams. Finally, it was time for the English unit test. I thought I could get a high score, but when the test paper was handed out, I found that I only had a score of 67. Holding the test paper, I was very upset. I felt that no matter how hard I worked, my grades would not improve. So for a long time, I gave up English and my grades plummeted. It wasn't until I read the book "The Old Man and the Sea" that I realized that Santiago encountered many more difficulties than I did, so we can't lose confidence when we encounter a little difficulty in life, and we can't fall because of it. We won't go any further. Osterling once summed up the main theme of the novel well: "This story is an ode. He advocates the spirit of never surrendering even if the result is nothing, and praises the moral triumph in failure."

We must bear in mind the inspiration given to us by the novel "The Old Man and the Sea": life is an endless pursuit, the road is long and difficult, and full of thorns and ups and downs, but as long as we have a confident heart and be brave If we meet the challenge faithfully, we will surely become the real winner! "The Old Man and the Sea" Excellent Reading Review 4

The novel "The Old Man and the Sea" creates a classic tough guy image. An old fisherman named Santiago from Cuba went fishing alone and caught an extremely huge marlin after 84 days of catching nothing. This was a big fish that the old man had never seen or heard of that was two feet longer than his boat. The fish was so big and powerful that it dragged the boat drifting for two whole days and two nights. During these two days and two nights, the old man experienced a difficult test that he had never experienced before. The next day, he finally stabbed the big fish to death and tied it to the bow of the boat. However, at this time, he encountered a ferocious shark. The old man fought with the shark to the death. As a result, the big marlin was eaten by the shark. In the end, the old man dragged home only a bare fish skeleton.

Why didn’t the author let the old man win in the end? To use an old saying in novels: A person can be destroyed, but he can never be defeated. This is the philosophy that "The Old Man and the Sea" wants to reveal. There is no denying that everyone has flaws. When a person admits this flaw and strives to overcome it instead of succumbing to it, no matter whether he can finally overcome this flaw in himself, he is a winner, because he has overcome his inferiority complex about the flaw, and he is a winner. Be the winner of your own soul.

The old fisherman is the winner who dares to challenge his own shortcomings and his own courage. From the perspective of victory, the old fisherman was not the final winner, because although he defeated the big marlin at first, in the end the big marlin was eaten by the shark, and he just returned with the white skeleton of the big marlin. Once on shore, that is to say, the shark is the winner. However, in my eyes, he is the winner because he has never been surrendered by the sea, the big marlin or the shark.

Heroes like the old fisherman, no matter whether they succeed or fail in challenging the limit, are worthy of our eternal respect.

Because it is a challenge to your flaws and your own limits. Excellent reading review of "The Old Man and the Sea" 5

It can take you to travel in the ocean of books; it can take you to fly into the blue sky of knowledge; it can tell you real and moving stories. It is your good teacher and helpful friend - books. A simple story, an ordinary fisherman, an ordinary salmon, a seemingly ordinary but extraordinary story happened on the vast sea. I read the book "The Old Man and the Sea" carefully. Each picture is shocking and every sentence is endless, which has benefited me a lot. This book tells the story of an ordinary old fisherman who has entered his seventies and fishes alone at sea all year round. For eighty-four days, I didn't catch a big fish once. Finally one time, he caught a salmon, but unfortunately on his way home, he encountered a swarm of sharks. Faced with the delicious food in front of him, the shark was moved and started a fierce fight with the old fisherman for three days and three nights.

In the end, the swarms of sharks ate up all the edible meat on the salmon, and all the old fisherman dragged back was a big fish skeleton. In this rather tragic story, a "heroic figure" old fisherman is reflected.

He failed to catch fish for eighty-four consecutive days. In the eyes of others, he was a failure. But he still didn't give up, even though it had been eighty-four days since he caught a fish. His perseverance, never giving up, and unyielding spirit are admirable. In ancient times, both at home and abroad, there were many people like the old fisherman. Foolish Old Man moves mountains. Everyone knows that Yu Gong knows that digging mountains and digging rocks is not an easy task, nor can it be accomplished overnight. It requires descendants to continue doing it from generation to generation, but didn’t he do it too? People nowadays have a wide range of interests, but they just "fish for three days and dry the net for two days" and give up halfway.

Don’t these people need the same perseverance as the old fisherman and Yu Gong? Only perseverance is not enough, you must also have the noble quality of being strong and unyielding, so that you can overcome all difficulties. The book "The Old Man and the Sea" contains profound truths, which made me understand the principles of being a human being and the true meaning of life, which deeply touched me.
