Reading the old man and the sea About the author Ernest Hemingway, one of the greatest American writers in 20th century, is the representative of “lost generation” writer. He was born on July 21, 1899, in Oak Park, Illinois. worked as a reporter after graduating from high school in 1917.,amd served as an ambulance driver in the Italian infantry and was wounded just before his 19th birthday. Hospitalized, Hemingway fell in love with an older nurse. In 1954, Hemingway was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature. In his life, Hemingway married four times and wrote numerous essays, short stories and novels. The effects of Hemingway's lifelong depressions, illnesses and accidents caught up with him. In July 1961, he committed suicide in Ketchum, Idaho. About the book The old man and the sea is one of Hemingway’s most enduring works. Told in language of great simplicity and power , it is the story of an old Cuban fisherman ,down on his luck ,and his supreme ordeal ---a relentless , agonizing battle with a giant marlin far out in the Gulf Stream . Here Hemingway recasts , in strikingly contemporary style, the classic theme of courage in the face of defeat , of personal triumph won from loss . Written in 1952 ,this hugely successfully novella confirmed his power and presence in the literary world and anywhere . I admire him not only because these but also his regarding these as the things he had to do , the rules he had to obey . Such a man is really a man , a marvelous man . All the characters of him is worth being learned not only in Hemingway’s times ,but for ever ; not only for a certain kind of man , but for all of us .Let’s always remember his word “But man is not made for defeat,” he said. “A man can be destroyed but not defeated.”
if we have a book ,we will not be felling of being longly
When I'm free or in trouble,I always take out a book and read quietly.In notime,I've put my heart into it so that I'll forget all the troubles.It's in thisway that I've formed the habit of reading in any time.
Little boys as I was,I was interest in picture books and storybooks.I wasstruck by them.No sooner had I entered the middle school than I began to readnovel,plays,essays and so on.I found I could get much from them.Little by littleI took great interest in literature and last term I won the first prize in thecomposition contest among middle-school students in Zhe Jiang.
Reading “The Emperor's New Clothes”,I had to let out a burst of laughterover his fool.“The Little Match Girl” couldn't keep me from crying for hermisery.“ Robinson Crusoe” took me into a strange world full of danger.And I wasalso deeply impressed by Helen Keller's patience and perseverance… Besidesthese,books also tell me other thing -how to be a man and how to tell thedifference between right and wrong.In a word,good books can make me know what Ididn't before.So I think of a good book as my best friend.
I'll never forget this famous saying,“ Good books are best friends whonever turn their backs upon us.”
