The captain place is confidant in their ideas to make a sail out of his jacket that allow them sail. The correspondent and Oilier shows brotherhood by working together after the build the sail and only had one oar. Near the end of the story the captain exhibits so true brotherhood. The captain, though injured, remains clear-headed and makes the decisions, which the others unquestioningly obey. However, the captain and the other crew members were struggling to swim to shore, but the captain unselfishly told the local man to help the drowning correspondent “but the captain waved him away, and sent him to the correspondent.:.
Suffering is an important role in his battle with the fish. It adds intensity to the struggle. The anguish of losing the fish to the sharks is surprisingly underplayed; this is a type of pain, which can be controlled by sheer willpower. What the old man tries to tell its readers is that physical pain and suffering which one gets when trying to achieve something is a respectable act and that these achievements require struggle and willpower to overcome the small losses in life. “I may not be as stong as I think, but I know many tricks and I have resolution.” One interesting question in The Old Man and the Sea is whether physical strength is as important as skill and experience.
Perhaps because he reaches rock bottom with Covey, Douglass suddenly finds the strength to resist. Not long after the moment looking at the white sails on the Chesapeake Bay, he resolves that he would rather die than be beaten again. When he stands up to Covey and says so, he discovers something amazing: he doesn't die. And once he resolves to be free at any cost, things start to change. Defeating Covey doesn't make him free in a legal sense, of course, but standing up for himself makes him mentally
Comparison and Contrast “Gregory” with “Just Lather, That’s all” As the old saying goes “As long as carrying the blade of justice against, and weak arm will also is mighty.” There is many a boy here today who looks on war as all glory, but boys, it is all hell. Justice is happening anywhere, it makes the world safer and more peaceful. The protagonists in Panos Ioannidies’ “Gregory” and Hernando Tellez’s “Just Lather, that’s all” are both facing moral and justice dilemmas throughout the stories. Justice is like a piece of wood, which press it in the water, but in dilemma it will come out from the water. There are some good points and also has bad points in the two stories.
This quote means that in life, the choices we make create the mold for our lives. Sometimes the choices we make can improve our life to create a positive mold but the risks we take to get there are our own responsibilities. In the novel by Ernest Hemingway The Old Man and the Sea, the main character, Santiago, has a journey out at sea filled with an intense experience that ends his 84-day bad luck streak. This journey reveals a lot about Santiago and his traits that helped him continue this journey. Through his experience of catching a 1500 pound marlin enduringly, Santiago “creates the mold” for his life.
Leadership on the Final Frontier Inspiring people to take action is the mark of a true leader. Antoine de Saint-Exupery once said, “If you want to build a ship, don’t drum up the men to gather wood, divide the work, and give orders. Instead, teach them to yearn for the vast and endless sea.” James Tiberius Kirk in the movie Star Trek: Into Darkness exemplifies this characteristic of leadership. Kirk’s cumulative actions and behaviors as captain of the USS Enterprise inspire his crew to follow him through the perils of the last great frontier that is space. Kirk is a leader because he always wins.
The speaker is convinced that the devastating war or the quick-burning fires of war will destroy the living record of your memory. It states “Gainst death and all-oblivious enmity shall you pace forth; your praise shall still find room,” which means that you will continue on strongly in the face of death and dispassionate hostility. In this case, “permanence” is seen as a lasting thing with high hope for immortality and will live in this poetry as long as the lovers read this poem. On the other hand, Sonnet 65 has a different way of thinking when it comes to “permanence” because it states “since brass, nor stone, nor earth, nor boundless sea, but sad mortality o-‘er-sways their power,” so it is saying that it will not resist the power of mortality and will die over time. It is also saying that beauty’s power is no stronger than of a flower, so it doesn’t have a chance of resisting
In the last part of his speech he seems happy of his impending death so he doesn’t have to watch England be lost, he says “England, bound in with the triumphant sea, Whose rocky shore beats back the envious siege of wat’ry Neptune, is now bound in with shame, with inky blots and rotten parchment bonds. That England that was wont to conquer others hath made a shameful conquest of itself, ah would the scandal vanish with my life how happy then were my ensuing death!” (2.1.61-68) He seems to think that with the end of his old life will take the scandal with it
Second, Hemingway, through his writing, believes that you need to be proud of yourself but continue to work to be even better. The Old Man does exactly that and thinks of how everyone would be so proud of his catch, but he especially thinks of what DiMaggio, his hero, would think of his great achievement: “I think the great DiMaggio would be proud of me today.” (Hemingway 97) DiMaggio
‘’Now they have beaten me, he thought. I am too old to club sharks to death. But I will try it as long as I have the oars and the short club and the tiller.’’ Even though the old man admits his defeat, he is still set on not giving up. The sharks could also represent those who would tear apart anyone's successes. These repulsive, scavengers find delight in bringing torment, defeat or
