Undeniably, as long as one would have defects. When a person recognizes this shortcoming and tried to overcome it and not go to it, no matter finally caught a full marlin or an empty skeleton, which have not really matter, because a person's life has value in the hunt Marlins in the process of fully embodied.

However, in the eyes of idealists, the old fisherman is a winner, because he has never been to sea to the big marlin sharks more compromise and not to surrender. As music master Beethoven said, I can be destroyed, but can never be conquered.Human nature is a powerful, humanity itself has its own limits, but it is because of the old fisherman such people again and again to challenge the limits, beyond them, this limit was extended again and again, and again a greater challenge in front of human beings. In this sense, the old fisherman sangdeya brother this hero, whether they challenge limit is success or failure, is always worthy of our respect. Because, he brings us is the most noble human self-confidence!Life is an endless pursuit. It is the road long, difficult and full of ups and downs, but, as long as he has a brave and confident heart to meet the challenge, he will always be a real winner!《老人与海》塑造了一个经典的硬汉形象。
古巴的一个名叫桑地亚哥的老渔夫，独自一个人出海打鱼，在一无所获的48天之后钓到了一条无比巨大的马林鱼。
这是老人从来没见过也没听说过的比他的船还长两英尺的一条大鱼。
鱼大劲也大，拖着小船漂流了整整两天两夜，老人在这两天两夜中经历了从未经受的艰难考验，终于把大鱼刺死，拴在船头。
然而这时却遇上了鲨鱼，老人与鲨鱼进行了殊死搏斗，结果大马林鱼还是被鲨鱼吃光了，老人最后拖回家的只剩下一副光秃秃的鱼骨架。
海明威为什么没有让老人最终胜利呢? 用小说中老人的话来说：“一个人并不是生来就要被打败的”，“人尽可以被毁灭，但却不能被打败。
”这就是《老人与海》想揭示的哲理。
不可否认，只要是人就都会有缺陷。
当一个人承认了这个缺陷并努力去战胜它而不是去屈从它的时候，无论最后是捕到一条完整的马林鱼还是一副空骨架，这都已经无所谓了，因为一个人的生命价值已在那追捕马林鱼的过程中充分地体现了。
曾经为自己的理想努力追求过、奋斗过，难道他不是一个胜利者吗
老渔夫就是敢于挑战自身缺陷及自己勇气和信心的胜利者。
从世俗胜利观的角度看，老渔夫不是最后的胜利者，因为尽管开始他战胜了大马林鱼，但是最终大马林鱼还是让鲨鱼吃了，他只是带着大马林鱼的白骨架子回到了岸上，也就是说，鲨鱼才是胜利者。
可是，在理想主义者眼里，老渔夫就是胜利者，因为他始终没有向大海没有向大马林鱼更没有向鲨鱼妥协和投降。
就如音乐大师贝多芬所说“我可以被摧毁，但我不能被征服”。
人性是强悍的，人类本身有自己的限度，但正是因为有了老渔夫这样的人一次又一次地向限度挑战，超越它们，这个限度才一次次扩大，一次次把更大的挑战摆在了人类面前。
在这个意义上，老渔夫桑地亚哥这样的英雄，不管他们挑战限度是成功还是失败，都是值得我们永远敬重的。
因为，他带给我们的是人类最为高贵的自信
人生本来就是一种无止境的追求。
它的道路漫长、艰难，而且充满坎坷，但只要自己勇敢顽强地以一颗自信的心去迎接挑战，他将永远是一个真正的胜利者

1The Old Man and the Sea is the most classic and concernful novel of Hemmingway's. Its compendious expression and exciting fighting narrative attracts numerous readers. The author repeatedly emphasized his customary key thoughts in the story: despairing courage, struggling on both physically and psychologically, and the hero's brave, glory and noble character. One of the pivotal sentences, a man can be destroyed but not defeated draws our attention. This sentence is gorgeous in surface but a little doubtful in a certain angle. In the end of the story the old man told to the boy that he was a loser who beaten by the sharks. With his bloody hands and the skeleton of the fish, it was really difficult to judge that he was defeated or not. However, he was undoubtedly destroyed in the fighting at the hopeless sea. Therefore, the difference between destroy and defeated was just something untraceable. We are not expected to tell one word form another, but to feel the antinomy and contact of them. This sentence from the old man was also a reflection of the author himself. Sometimes we may treat a novel as some individual and emotional words. The old man and the sea were the symbols of the author and his life and destiny. As we know, Hemingway suffered a lot from his broken life during two ruthless world wars. In his late years, he was a successful litterateur but also a disable old man. He ended up his life with suicide. It's too arbitrary to say he was defeated from his fate, and also too shallow to use the word destroy in his experiences. In my opinion, the most splendid thing in Hemmingway and his the Old Man and the Sea is not the VICTORY OF DEFEAT, but the relationship between the two words defeat and destroy as well as the novel and the author.2I have read the American well-known Hemingway’s book ‘’ the old man and the sea’’, which came out in 1976. This is a true story about an old fisherman battling with a giant marlin in the sea.The old fisherman, who names Santiago, have not caught any fish for 84 days , other fishermen looks down him as a loser, but he never gives up. Finally 85th days, he fishes a big marlin fish which is bigger than his skiff and over fifteen hundred pounds. The fish begins to tow him farther and farther out to the sea, but he still holds onto the line, even though a hand is cramping, he don’t give up it. After two days and two nights’ crucifixion, at the end he kills the fish, and attaches the marlin to the outside of the skiff with rope, it’s blood leaves a trail in the water and attracts sharks in return journey, he comes to strike back against and uses to all tools which are harpoon, knife, and quant . When Santiago returns to harbor is left over with the fish head fishtail and one backbone. Although the flesh of fish has been got rid of all quilt barking, what also has no way to devastate his brave will. When he lay down on the bed at home, he makes a usual dream of lions at play on the beaches of Africa.This story happened in 1940th near a Gulf Stream in Cuba. The main character Santiago is an old man, who fishes alone in a skiff in the Gulf Stream and lives a small village. He is characterized as someone struggling against defeat. The second character Manolin is a young boy whom Santiago teaches to fish. The litter boy is his loyal friend. Language is great simplicity and power. The theme of courage in the face of defeat, of personal triumph won from loss. It is a song of praise of heroism. The Author, Ernest Miller Hemingway is a famous writer in the literary world. ‘’The old man and the sea’’ was written in 1952, and it is one of Hemingway’s most enduring works .It won the 1954 Nobel Prize for Literature. The author wants to told readers ,you will be supposed to like this old person same mind lofty aspiration, and will even better pursue even better, the bigger goal, don’t easy give up your goal in your life. The novel shows a view about struggle of life, even in the face of nature can’t be conquered, but still can be moral victory. Perhaps the result of a failure, but I n the struggle of process, the reader can see how a person become an indomitable spirit of man. I like the main character Santiago and the classic saying ‘’But man is not made for defeat. A man can be destroyed but not defeated’’, because this is Santiago’s faith of life, and the human will not fail also, the enterprise spirit of a carols. It is encouraging me to face up to life with smiles no matter what happens. It's a simple story, but offers the reader much to think about without lapsing into the didactic. I am strongly recommend that book.3THE OLD MAN AND THE SEA Ernest Hemingway New York: Charles Scribner�s Sons, 1952127 pages.Comments by Bob CorbettJanuary 2006Once again I return to the work of Ernest Hemingway after an almost 50 year hiatus. The Old Man and the Sea is a magnificent story. At one level it is the tale of a man and a fish, at another, a story of man versus nature, at yet another, the story of the culture of manhood, courage, bravery in the face of existence, and at yet another a history of what life was like when individuals were more the central actors on the human stage and not groups or organizations. At the most basic level the very elderly fisherman, Santiago, goes out in his small fishing boat after 84 days without hooking a decent fish. He goes far out, and hooks a gigantic 18 foot long sword fish. The battle then begins, and the fish drags the small boat and Santiago far out to sea. For two days they battle, and Santiago wins that battle, but then loses the great fish on the way home to the scavenger sharks who find him easy prey. Hemingway celebrates the courage and raw guts of this old man, even recounting a time in Casablanca when he had spent an entire day in an arm wrestling match with a much larger man in a seaside tavern. Hemingway celebrates a concept of humans as beings who go it alone, fierce, brave, courageous without even thinking about it, oozing strength from the nature of the best of the species. The story is told with incredible economy of words and description, yet nothing is sacrificed which drives home the power and inner strength of this man, who just takes it as what he does, what it is to be a serious fisherman. Hemingway�s world is not my world. I am no Santiago, no macho man. And the culture of today has little place left for the radical individual whom Hemingway celebrates and Santiago portrays. Yet the power of Hemingway�s telling is such that I couldn�t help but be on Santiago�s side, to admire him, to ache with his loss in the end to forces greater than he. There is a side tale as well. This great individual, the man who stands alone, is not alone completely by choice. He has developed a friendship, a working relationship, a love with a young boy who began fishing with him when the boy was only five. Now the boy has moved on to another boat, a more successful one, at his parents� behest, but he pines to work with Santiago, and when the battle with the great fish has been engaged, Santiago pleads over and over and over: �I wish the boy were here.� Like many readers who might come upon this novel today, I live a life of citified ease and comfort. A life far removed from harsh confrontations with nature. But Hemingway forces me to remember and acknowledge the individual, the struggle for the most basic existence, the battle with nature for survival itself. But most importantly he makes one acknowledge the importance of the individual and the magnificence of courage, skill, art and endurance.5The Old Man and the SeaSimon & SchusterThe Old Man and the Sea was an enormous success for Ernest Hemingway when it was published in 1952. At first glance, the story appears to be an extremely simple story of an old Cuban fisherman (Santiago), who catches an enormously large fish then loses it again. But, there's much more to the story than that...The Old Man and the Sea helped to revive Hemingway's reputation as a writer of great acclaim. This slim volume also contributed enormously to Hemingway's recognition as a world-renowned writer--with the award of the Nobel Prize for literature. The popular reception of the novel comes from its part-parable, part-eulogy style--recollecting a by-gone age in this spiritual quest for discovery. Touching and powerful in turns, the story is told in Hemingway's simple, brittle style. The book reaches out to a very human need--for stability and certainty.Overview: The Old Man and the SeaSantiago is an old man, and many are starting to think that he can no longer fish. He has gone for many months without landing any kind of fish to speak of; and his apprentice, a young man named Manolin, has gone to work for a more prosperous boat. The fisherman sets out into the open sea and goes a little further out than he normally would in his desperation to catch a fish. At noon, a big Marlin takes hold of one of the lines, but the fish is far too big for him to handle.Hemingway pays great attention to the skill and dexterity that Santiago uses in coping with the fish. Santiago lets the fish have enough line, so that it won't break his pole; but he and his boat are dragged out to sea for three days. Finally, the fish--an enormous and worthy opponent--grows tired; and Santiago kills it. Even this final victory does not end the Santiago's journey; he is a still far, far out to sea. To make matters worse, Santiago drags the Marlin behind the boat (and the blood from the dead fish attracts sharks).Santiago does his best to beat the sharks away, but his efforts are not enough. The sharks eat the flesh off the Marlin, and Santiago is left with only the bones. Santiago gets back to shore--weary and tired--with nothing to show for his pains but the skeletal remains of a large Marlin. Even with just the bare remains of the fish, the experience has changed him, and altered the perception others have of him. Manolin wakes him the morning after his return and suggests that they once more fish together.6I was very surprised when I finally tried to read this, and discovered that it bored the living crap out of me. I just couldn't get into it, I don't know why, maybe it was just my mood or something....? I mean, I do like Hemingway. I love the sea, and baseball. I am relatively fond of both old men and little boys (not like that, you fool).... and this is supposed to be really terrific and all, but I just.... I mean, I could've finished it of course, it's short, and it wouldn't have been like torture at all, but I just wasn't feeling it.... so I stopped. Sometimes I think about making an okay-so-does-this-mean-i'm-stupid-or-something? shelf, but my ideological opposition to the idea has overridden that impulse every time.... so far.

The Old Man and the Sea is one of Hemingway's most enduring works and may very well become one of the true classics of this generation. It played a great part in his winning the Pulizer Prize in 1953 and the 1954 Novel Prize for Literature and confirmed his power and presence in the literary world. Hemingway is also one of my favorite writers. Besides The Old Man And the Sea, I have read some of his other works, such as The Sun Also Rises, A Farewell to Arms and The Snow of Kilimanijaro. But The Old Man and the Sea is the one that left the deepest impression on me. I first read this book when I was in my fifteens. And now I remember it just as well as if I had read it yesterday. 《老人与海》英文读后感 On summer vacation of this year, I studied in novel old man and sea of Hemingway , famous writer of U.S.A. ,.

After tough fisherman and fish have socialized for a few days, just find this is a big Malin's fish which exceeds several times of one's own fishing boat, though know perfectly well that it is very difficult to win , does not give up yet. Because big Malin fish fishlike smell of wound attract odd herds of shark vie for the food again later, but the old man is still unwilling to give up like this, stress the tight encirclement finally , take the large fish back to fishing port , let other fishmen admire it endlessly. The old fisherman thinks that as I read : It is really too close from here to coast, perhaps there are bigger fish in the farther place …… When,admire very much because this old fisherman in the persons, because play not for some fishing he already at this moment I, but he is not satisfied with the existing state of affairs , but advance towards greater goal. Seeing us again, meet some little difficulties at ordinary times , all of us complain bitterly. We are the future of the motherland, should be as ambitious as this old man, go to pursue well , greater goal. Read as me big Malin fish is it enclose light fishing boat move about , is it get mast to twine cable fast to begin, old man right hand hold steel fork high , jump out in a flash , affording to try one's best above water in it, a sound of wail has finished the life of the loud fish, it floats on the surface of water silently ……When,the I one heart is too fall like pieces of stone not big. I admire that kind of fearing of the old man at all , unremitting spirit very much, though know rival's strength is very strong , but he has not shrunk back at all , meets the difficulty. Just because there is this kind of spirit, the old fisherman has obtained the victory of the trial of strength of this life and death. We should study the old fisherman's spirit too in life, do the thing and is not afraid of the difficulty , could achieve success . Read big blood offensive smell of fish smell one shark , fall over each other to visit to vie for the food, left hand of old man pull a muscle just, he can only use right hand, can weapon attacked to used for defend oneself with stick , mouth of swordfish that catch everything, and has driven away this herd of shark finally. But big meat of fish take into big half already, but old man criticize one's own left hand when the work this when have a rest humorously also, I am subdued by old man's optimistic spirit too. In life, some losses are unavoidable, we should treat the optimistic attitude , can't worry about petty gain or loss . Finally, the novel sees with a teenager that old fisherman has 18 feet of big long Malin's fish totally in the tolerance , the ones that have described this fish are enormous again, prove that old fisherman's difficulty overcome is big, than ordinary.

The theme is deep, and it is a song of praise of heroism. “But man is not made for defeat. A man can be destroyed but not defeated” has been the classic saying and the old man also has been the most typical and the most representative of the Hemingway’s “tough guy”. When Hemingway talked about the successful factors later, the little boy was mentioned in the same breath with the old man.This paper starts with the details and it is divided into two main parts to discuss the indispensable roles of the little boy in the novel. It is him who helps to perform the theme of “grace under pressure”: during 40 days, the old man with the little boy went to fish but without taking a fish, when his situation was getting worse step by step, the little boy’s leaving was the heavy pressure that achieved the extreme stern for certain. However , it was so “heavy pressure” that his manner was graceful when the old man faced afterwards defeat and his optimistic, generous life attitude was worthy tasting by people carefully; it is him who plays the role of leading, inspiring to the readers, and increasing the appeal of the work, enriching the content of the work: although the little boy appears only at the beginning and the ending in the novel, there is nothing in his inner state but the old man, so his attitude and emotions towards the old man affects the readers’ emotions for the old man quietly and gradually. And it is unavoidable that his inner feeling leads and impacts the readers’ emotions.Key words: roles; the little boy; the old man; grace under pressure; The Old Man and the Sea
求老人与海英文读后感，长一些
老人与海》读书笔记 今年，我读了美国著名作家海明威的小说《老人与海》。
我十分佩服小说中老渔夫的意志，他让我懂得了一个人一定要有坚持不懈的精神，才能获得成功。
小说描写的是一个年近六旬的老渔夫，在一次单身出海打鱼时，钓到了一条大鱼，却拉不上来。
老渔夫同鱼周旋了几天后，才发现这是一条超过自己渔船数倍的大马林鱼，虽然明知很难取胜，但仍不放弃。
后来又因大马林鱼伤口上的鱼腥味引来了几群鲨鱼抢食，但老人仍不愿就这样放弃，最终突出重围，将大鱼带回了渔港，让其他渔夫佩服不已。
当我读到“老渔夫想：这里离海岸实在是太近了，也许在更远的地方会有更大的鱼……”时，我十分佩服这位老渔夫，因为他这时已经打到了一些鱼，但他没有安于现状，而是向着更大的目标前进。
再看看我们，平时遇到一点小困难，我们都叫苦连天。
我们是祖国的未来，应该像这位老人一样胸怀大志，去追求更好、更大的目标。
当我读到“大马林鱼开始快速地围着小渔船游动，将缆绳缠绕到了桅杆上，老人右手高举着钢叉，在它跃出水面的一瞬间，竭尽全力地向它的心脏掷去，一声哀鸣结束了大鱼的生命，它静静地浮在水面上……”时，我的心也像一块大石头落了地。
我非常钦佩老人那种毫不畏惧、坚持不懈的精神，虽然知道对手实力很强，但他没有丝毫退缩，而是迎难而上。
正因为有了这种精神，老渔夫才获得了这场生死较量的胜利。
我们在生活中也要学习老渔夫的精神，做事情不怕困难，才能取得成功。
在读到大鱼的血腥味被一群鲨鱼嗅到了，争相游来抢食，老人的左手正好在抽筋，他只能使用右手，用木棒、捕到的剑鱼的嘴等一切可以用来攻击的武器自卫，并最终赶走了这群鲨鱼。
但大鱼的肉已经被吃了一大半，而老人还风趣地批评自己的左手“该工作的时候却在休息”的时候，我也被老人乐观的精神所折服。
在生活中，有些损失是不可避免的，我们应该以乐观的态度来对待，不能斤斤计较。
最后，小说以一个少年看到老渔夫在度量足有十八英尺长的大马林鱼，再次描写了这条鱼的巨大，说明老渔夫所克服的困难之大，非比寻常。
小说歌颂了老渔夫不畏艰险努力奋斗的精神，我们也应该像他那样，不能满足于现状，应该积极向上，做任何事都要坚持不懈，遇到困难要迎难而上，决不能半途而废。
只有这样，我们才能获得更大的成功和胜利。

老人与海的读后感
《老人与海》感 一个简单的个平凡的老人，一条普通马林鱼，在茫茫大海上发生了看似平凡而又不平凡的经历。
也没有大海，就没有鱼，没有鱼，也就没有鱼夫，同样也就没有折断不凡的经历了。
正因为有了大海，才让鱼夫钓上了一条大马林鱼，但却在海上拖了三天三夜才把鱼杀死，但又遭到鲨鱼的袭击，贼后的结局可想而知，这条大马林鱼只剩下了鱼头鱼尾和一条脊骨。
一切的肉体都不复存在了，剩下的只是一个躯壳，一个没有灵魂的躯壳，任人摆布。
但是谁又愿意去操控它呢
它只不过是一堆毫无利用价值的骨架。
然而，一个悲剧性的故事里，却折射出一个“英雄人物”——老人圣地亚哥。
连续八十四天没有捕到鱼，在别人眼中他是一个失败者。
因为作为鱼夫，捕不到鱼，还能算是真正的鱼夫吗
而可贵的还是他却能在第八十五天决心驶向远方的大海去钓鱼，那种“知其不可为而为之”的勇气，难道不令我佩服吗
不论是鱼叉，小刀，短棍。
一次一次被鲨鱼带走，但他始终用尽一切手段进行反击，什么也无法摧残他英勇的意志。
一句“我跟你奉陪到死”，夹杂在大海的咆哮声中，回响在我耳旁。
一个人把生命都压上去了，与敌人做殊死的博斗，能不算英勇吗
我想鲨鱼正是宇宙间一切破坏性力量的化身，而老人正是正义的使者。
在人的一身中随时随地都存在这股破坏力量，人生是不停地循环着，喜剧的落幕，不就是悲剧的上演；悲剧的落幕，也就意味着喜剧的再度登场。
老人将大马林鱼杀死看似是完美的结果，但同时他也还在“酝酿”这自己的悲剧。
鲨鱼的袭击，就是应得的报应。
一个人活在世上总是有所追求的，无论追求的东西是好是坏，追求的手段是正义，是卑劣，也许能够得到就是最好的结果吧。
在充满悲剧色彩的全之中，仍有一丝亮点，那就是孩子。
孩子带回了老人的青春，使他找回了自我。
如果没一个人都拥有一份童心，一份天真，那世界不再总是灰色，就算当时你享有的是最后的晚餐，也不回忘记饭前洗手，饭后漱口了。
回想起文中老人的话“人不是为失败而生的，一个人可以被毁灭，但不能给打败”，不正道出了本文的主体吗
人正的是很奇怪的动物，为何有勇气面对死亡，却没有勇气面对失败呢
难道失败真的如此可怕吗
冷冷的海风里夹杂着一股血腥，也许真正害怕的可能是这些吧

《老人与海》读后感 说到《老人与海》，那么不得不提的一个人，就是作者海明威。
“一艘船越过世界的尽头，驶向未知的大海，船头上悬挂着一面虽然饱经风雨剥蚀却依旧艳丽无比的旗帜，旗帜上，舞动着云龙一般的四个字闪闪发光——超越极限
”作者海明威是这样评价他的作品《老人与海》的。
《老人与海》是他于1951年在古巴写的一篇中篇小说。
是海明威最著名的作品之一。
《老人与海》奠定了海明威在世界文学中的突出地位，对于他1954年获得诺贝尔文学奖也起了重要作用。
《老人与海》中的主人公是古巴老渔夫桑提亚哥，他已经八十四天没打到鱼了，平时帮他忙的男孩也被父母所迫不再帮他捕鱼了。
第八十五天，老人依旧不气不馁独的自出远海打鱼。
与以往不同的是，他这次交了好运。
一条巨大的马林鱼上了钩，这条鱼把老人和船拖到了很远很远的海面，经过老人三天三夜的搏斗，终于捕到了这条巨大的马林鱼，老人把鱼绑在了船边，准备回到岸上去，但是就在半道上，血腥味招来了各种鲨鱼，它们咬掉马林鱼的鱼肉，虽然老人用尽了各种办法击退了鲨鱼，但是鲨鱼来了一拨又一拨，把鱼肉吃了个精光，等老人进港返回陆地的时候，那条鱼只剩下“又粗又长的白色脊骨”。
看完《老人与海》，我对老渔夫桑提亚哥的印象很深。
他出海多天虽然只捕回一具鱼骨，但依然有人为他喝彩，有人感动的落泪，有人为他端来多加了牛奶和糖的热腾腾的咖啡。
小说的故事情节很平淡，但是却跟人很大的生活启迪。
正如老人在遇到第一条鲨鱼时所说的：“不过人毕竟不是为失败而生，一个人可以被毁灭，但不能给打败。
”这句话道出了本书的主题。
而桑提亚哥，他所具有的不仅是坚强的毅力，还有在远海面处遇到巨大马林鱼时超凡的体力、技艺以及昂扬的斗志。
鲨鱼一再来袭，他用尽一切个人手段来反击：鱼叉丢了，他把小刀绑在桨上，“自制”鱼叉；刀子折断了，他用短棍来袭击对手；短棍也折掉了，他用舵把来打。
尽管最终大马林鱼只剩了骨头，但什么也无法摧残他的英勇意志。
甚至于在艰难的斗争中，他偶尔也会给自己来点儿“小幽默”。
他会想到“美国职业棒球联赛”，会想到“一只佼佼领先的扬基队”，也会用“要沉着，要有力，老头儿。
”这样半带讽刺的话来安慰自己。
即便有几次没有保证头脑清醒而睡着了，他也会梦见幼时曾经见到的非洲，长长的金色海滩和白色海滩，白的耀眼，还有高耸的海峡和褐色的大山，在梦中听见拍案海浪的隆隆声，看见土人驾船穿浪而行。
那是他对童年的怀念。
而对于现实中所面对的困难，他似乎并不感到担心，因为他知道，他有足够的信心与力量战胜大马哈鱼。
对此我们不得不承认，桑提亚哥，是一个在精神上不可战胜的硬汉子。
而另一个给我印象很深的人物是那个被桑提亚哥成为“孩子”的马诺林。
他像爱着父亲一样爱着桑提亚哥，他深知，桑提亚哥照顾他的那个时代已经过去，现在该他来照顾桑提亚哥了。
尽管他为父母所迫，不得已离开了老人，但他还是接近自己的所能来帮助桑提亚哥，他细心的照顾老桑提亚哥，为他准备食物，照顾他的起居，为他准备出海用的新鲜沙丁鱼，他知道桑提亚哥老了，不中用了，但是他安慰他，给他信心，给他希望。
读罢《老人与海》，老渔夫桑提亚哥给了我很大启示。
他出海捕鱼，费了很大力气，但是并没有交上好运，就像我们，在学习中，尽自己所能的努力，却不一定会有成效。
但是我们都清楚，努力不一定成功，但是不努力一定不会成功，对于桑提亚哥来说就是出海不一定捕的到鱼，但是不出海一定捕不到鱼。
也许结果不一定又什么不同，但是过程却大不相同，成功的几率也不相同，而这些，就是全世界最大的不同。
这一点，我知道，老桑提亚哥知道，海明威也知道。
我想，读一本书的目的，不是了解这个故事，而是要从中得到道理和启发，所以我们应该像桑提亚哥学习，学习他的无谓的勇气和奋斗的精神，尽管他并不是一个现实生活中的人物，但是他的精神值得我们运用到现实生活中去。
最后，请允许我用桑提亚哥那令人深受启发的朴实话语作为结束——“人不是为失败而生的，一个人可以被毁灭，但不能给打败。
”
