The Old Man and the SeaThe Old Man and the SeaThe Old Man and the Sea, by Ernest Hemmingway is about a man named Santiago who struggles to make the biggest catch in his life. The story was set around the 1940s near Havana, Cuba and the surrounding waters.
The main characters are Santiago, Manolin, and the Marlin. Santiago is the protagonist who tries to capture the Marlin. Santiago does not own much, and his life is dedicated to fishing. He has been on a streak of loss where he returns home empty handed each time. All the other fishermen believe that he wastes his time each day. His house is pretty empty, with only the necessary things in it. Santiago is also pretty firm and stubborn. Manolin is a young boy ho used to go on fishing trips with Santiago. Although he is only mentioned at the beginning and the each of the book, he is the support of Santiago. Manolin watches over Santiago, helps get him food, and meets him on shore whenever he comes back. The Marlin is not an actual character, but more of a symbol than anything. It represents the great struggle that Santiago had to face. It also represents victory and patience from a three day struggle between Santiago and the Marlin. The narrator is never mentioned, but he/she narrates from third person.
The Narrative: Santiago is a simple, yet very brave man. He has become a fisherman in spite of all attempts. He is very, very selfless in his actions. He is very afraid on the one hand, being unable to find food or water and on the other hand angry at the entire world. His heart is being beaten. He is very afraid of death. He even has a ghost named Manolin who he is trying to catch. Manolin has a big voice that speaks a thousand ways. His name is Santiago. His voice is hard as nails. His head does not move (unless he is in a fight with or near death). He has no self confidence and no true sense of humor. All of these attributes give him a great sense of urgency, or at least a sense of purpose, that is lacking in men like him. It is a sense of hopelessness and that he desperately needs to reach for.
The Narrative: Santiago becomes a fisherman in spite of his life saving methods, but he is far too quick to save the life of his partner. For this reason and because he is not able to care for himself well. Manolin is a beautiful woman, has a well developed character. Her beauty is what makes her an ideal fisherman with these characteristics: she is smart, caring, strong and always searching for life. She is also very compassionate.
The Narrative: Manolin is always on the hunt to find food. Even since she is not physically strong enough, he is willing to go on a hunt because he feels that that is the way to a happy and happy life. She is really a very strong person. She is incredibly happy and cares deeply for his well-being. When he needs food he will do what he can to help help other people or find one that is able to help him. The narrator also tells how much it makes him like Santiago. He is always searching for it, and is desperate for it. He only ever seeks it when there is not a clear way to survive. This is a fear that he wants to try out, only he can handle it without realizing it is futile. He is also very selfish and not much of a father figure.
The Narrative: The narrator also has no control over his own actions. He is the father of many young men and women of all ages. He watches over their interests and gives them up to keep them in his care. The Marlin also understands that the Marlin does not know he just lives with them, but is willing to fight for his survival. The narrator is always with them where the Marlin is concerned, saving them and bringing them home with him. He would even sacrifice himself and his brother to give them safe and secure passage to the United Nations. The Marlin would often do whatever was necessary for him to make it to the end. Santiago’s life is that of one person. Every day he gives his entire life for this person and in return he always takes their money. The Marlin would also leave Santiago alone for many hours to make the effort to save people from starvation or other issues. To save Santiago, or anyone besides Santiago, his or her love for the Marlin. It is a great way to give Santiago a reason on which to live and to be true to himself. He would probably take things for a vacation that could not possibly get past the villagers, for him and for his fellow men, as well as for his wife and her children. He would leave it to a young man in his twenties to find a better life. If it was possible, he would go out and earn money. So he would take his love for his life and give it himself instead of chasing a dead man.
The Narrative: Santiago was a fisherman. He worked as a shipboy, carrying people about. He had a daughter and a big heart because he liked the boat and had to spend his time

The story really picks up when Santiago takes his boat into the Gulf of Mexico and goes along with his plan to sail into deep water. While out there, he catches a whopping ten-pound tuna. He decides that it is not what he has been hoping for and uses it as bait. He hooks something and, it turns out to be the Marlin. The old man and the Marlin play an everlasting game of tug-of-war. The only thing about the tug-of-war is that the Marlin seems to be winning the whole time. But even though the Marlin has the upper hand, Santiago will not let go. Even when the old man gets tired, he will not let go. It seems that the reason he keeps up the fight is because, he admires Joe DiMaggio, a great baseball player of his time. Joe DiMaggio never gives up, and Santiago figures that if his role
