        <description><![CDATA[Santiago's exact feelings and attitude toward the sea are never expressly mentioned in the text of this novel.  However, through context clues, we are able to determine that he loves his life as a fisherman (or at least had loved it when he was regularly catching fish and the other fishermen didn't look at him with pity as if Santiago were old and washed up), and he has a healthy respect for the sea and the creatures which live in it.
We know...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Santiago of "The Old Man and the Sea," is an aging Cuban fisherman now reduced to poverty as he lives alone.  He has lost his fisherman's "luck," having gone eighty-four days without catching a fish.  The boy who loves him has even gone to work on another boat.  Nevertheless, Santiago is positi and remains hopeful each day when he takes his skiff into the Gulf Stream in search of marlin.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[tamara-bailey,
The best way to write a thesis statement is to follow the following four steps:
1. A strong thesis statement takes some arguable position.
Decide what you want to argue in your thesis statement. If you think that the Christian symbolism reveals that people must struggle to live a fulfilling life, state that in your thesis.
2. A strong thesis statement further justifies support and analysis.
A strong thesis statement justifies...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The May/September reference does suggest more than literal interpretation. It definitely has connotative meaning in terms of Santiago's life. Santiago's youth was behind him. He was an old man, although his strength and vigor--as well as his attitude--show that he is not nearing his death. (Even after losing his "great fish," he plans to fish again.) Therefore, the marlin comes to Santiago in the autumn of his life (September) when he has...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[After the old man has caught the great fish, prepared it, and lashed it to his boat, he looks up at the sky.  He sees that "there (are) high cumulus clouds and enough cirrus above them so that the old man (knows) the breeze would last all night".  As he raises his sail into the gentle wind, he notes that it is "steady...it had backed a little further into the north-east and he (knows) that (means) that it (will) not fall off".

        <description><![CDATA[On the second day of his marathon battle with the big fish, the old man realizes that he must provide sustenance for his body if he is to continue the fight.  He eats half of a fillet of a dolphin he has caught, and a flying fish, "gutted and with its head cut off".  He reflects, "What an excellent fish dolphin is to eat cooked...and what a miserable fish raw".  Ruefully imagining how much better his meal would taste with just a little...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The old man clearly is very poor.  He lives in a "shack"; the mast of his small boat is "nearly as long as the one room of (his) shack", the walls of which are made of "the tough budshields of the royal palm".  In his humble dwelling are only "a bed, a table, one chair, and a place on the dirt floor to cook with charcoal".  He owns only one other shirt beyond the one he is wearing, and the one he is wearing has "been patched so many times...]]></description>
