When I read " the senior fisherman think: Here to the seacoast really was too near, perhaps could have a bigger fish in a farther place... " When, I extremely admire this senior fisherman, because he by now already projected on some fish, but he had not settled to the present situation, but was approaches the bigger goal advance. Again has a look us, usually meets one slightly is difficult, we all complain incessantly. We will be the motherland future, will be supposed to like this old person same mind lofty aspiration, will even better pursue even better, the bigger goal.
When I read " the big marlin start fast to gather round the young fishing boat hover, twined the cable on the mast, the old person right hand lifted up high the steel fork, leapt the water surface in it the flash, did utmost throws to its heart, one wail ended the big fish’s life, it was static static floats on the water surface... " When, my heart also liked together the big stone falls. I extremely admire old person that kind do not dread, the relentless spirit, although knows the match strength is very strong, but he not slightly flinches, but is welcomes difficultly above. Just because had this kind of spirit, the senior fisherman only then achieved this life and death contest success.
We also must study senior fisherman’s spirit in life, handles the matter does not fear the difficulty, only then can obtain successfully.
The novel told a story about how the old fisherman Santiago struggled with the sea. Santiago gained a huge fish called Marlin after having drifted in the sea for 84 days. It was a fish that is 2 feet longer than the boat and that had dragged his boat for two days before being stabbed to death. It seemed that the old man wasn’t so successful, because he encountered a shark, struggled with the serious environments, even the only spoil——Marlin just left a skeleton. However, the most important thing is that Santiago had never given up for a moment.
In this novel, I am dee*** impressed by his persevering. I admire the old fisherman for his steel-like mind and persistence. I think there’s a real young man inside him, although he is at an old age and no longer goes back to his youth. From the strong comparison between the old look and the young heart, we can easily find that it is the positive firm spirits that make us hold our hopes and keep trying all the time and finally guide the roads towards success.
Through the vivid description about the struggle between human and nature, Hemingway expresses his opinion that the courage inside human beings can help us face any failure and overcome any difficulty. In the book, the hero Santiago was beat by the shark, which we regard as a symbol of doom, but he chose to struggle with the fortune instead of losing faith in his life. Just the same as the hero Santiago, all of us will meet with various kinds of difficulties in our daily life, which is a rule of human’s fate. So how can we adjust our attitudes toward these and what should we do with so many problems? The old fisherman tell us the truth——“Man is not made for defeat. A man can be destroyed but not be defeated”.
When I was a middle school student, I’ve finished this book in Chinese.But when I read it in English,I really gain something new both in the way of expression and the spirit it shows to us.May be different ages to read the same book we will learn different things from it.At least, for my part, that is true.
Firstly,I would like to review some information about this book.Such as the background,major characters and the topic of it.
The Old Man and the Sea is a story by Ernest Hemingway, written in Cuba in 1951 and published in 1952. It was the last major work of fiction to be produced by Hemingway and published in his lifetime. One of his most famous works, it centers upon Santiago, an aging Cuban fisherman who struggles with a giant marlin far out in the Gulf Stream.
The Old Man and the Sea served to reinvigorate Hemingway's literary reputation and prompted a reexamination of his entire body of work. The novella was initially received with much popularity; it restored many readers' confidence in Hemingway's capability as an author. Its publisher, Scribner's, on an early dust jacket, called the novella a "new classic," and many critics favorably compared it with such works as William Faulkner's "The Bear" and Herman Melville's Moby-Dick.
This book gives me a deep impression especially the description about the man’s braveness and persistence.
In this book, in order to suggest the profundity of the old man’s sacrifice and the glory that derives from it, Hemingway purposefully likens Santiago to Christ, who, according to Christian theology, gave his life for the greater glory of humankind. Crucifixion imagery is the most noticeable way in which Hemingway creates the symbolic parallel between Santiago and Christ. When Santiago’s palms are first cut by his fishing line, the reader cannot help but think of Christ suffering his stigmata. Later, when the sharks arrive, Hemingway portrays the old man as a crucified martyr, saying that he makes a noise similar to that of a man having nails driven through his hands. Furthermore, the image of the old man struggling up the hill with his mast across his shoulders recalls Christ’s march toward Calvary. Even the position in which Santiago collapses on his bed—face down with his arms out straight and the palms of his hands up—brings to mind the image of Christ suffering on the cross. Hemingway employs these images in the final pages of the novella in order to link Santiago to Christ, who exemplified transcendence by turning loss into gain, defeat into triumph, and even death into renewed life.
The major characters in this book are also vivid and lively.
Santiago?,the old man of the novella’s title, Santiago is a Cuban fisherman who has had an extended run of bad luck. Despite his expertise, he has been unable to catch a fish for eighty-four days. He is humble, yet exhibits a justified pride in his abilities. His knowledge of the sea and its creatures, and of his craft, is unparalleled and helps him preserve a sense of hope regardless of circumstance.
The marlin?,Santiago hooks the marlin, which we learn at the end of the novella measures eighteen feet, on the first afternoon of his fishing expedition. Manolin?,a boy presumably in his adolescence, Manolin is Santiago’s apprentice and devoted attendant. The old man first took him out on a boat when he was merely five years old. Due to Santiago’s recent bad luck, Manolin’s parents have forced the boy to go out on a different fishing boat. Manolin, however, still cares dee*** for the old man, to whom he continues to look as a mentor.
Joe DiMaggio, although DiMaggio never appears in the novel, he plays a significant role nonetheless. Santiago worships him as a model of strength and commitment, and his thoughts turn toward DiMaggio whenever he needs to reassure himself of his own strength. Perico ?,Perico, the reader assumes, owns the bodega in Santiago’s village. He never appears in the novel, but he serves an important role in the fisherman’s life by providing him with newspapers that report the baseball scores. This act establishes him as a kind man who helps the aging Santiago.
Martin,like Perico, Martin, a café owner in Santiago’s village, does not appear in the story. The reader learns of him through Manolin, who often goes to Martin for Santiago’s supper. As the old man says, Martin is a man of frequent kindness who deserves to be repaid.
From the very first paragraph, Santiago is characterized as someone struggling against defeat. He has gone eighty-four days without catching a fish—he will soon pass his own record of eighty-seven days. Almost as a reminder of Santiago’s struggle, the sail of his skiff resembles “the flag of permanent defeat.” But the old man refuses defeat at every turn: he resolves to sail out beyond the other fishermen to where the biggest fish promise to be. He lands the marlin, tying his record of eighty-seven days after a brutal three-day fight, and he continues to ward off sharks from stealing his prey, even though he knows the battle is useless.
Because Santiago is pitted against the creatures of the sea, some readers choose to view the tale as a chronicle of man’s battle against the natural world, but the novella is, more accurately, the story of man’s place within nature. Both Santiago and the marlin display qualities of pride, honor, and bravery, and both are subject to the same eternal law: they must kill or be killed. As Santiago reflects when he watches the weary warbler fly toward shore, where it will inevitably meet the hawk, the world is filled with predators, and no living thing can escape the inevitable struggle that will lead to its death. Santiago lives according to his own observation: “man is not made for defeat . . . [a] man can be destroyed but not defeated.” In Hemingway’s portrait of the world, death is inevitable, but the best men （and animals） will nonetheless refuse to give in to its power. Accordingly, man and fish will struggle to the death, just as hungry sharks will lay waste to an old man’s trophy catch.
The novel suggests that it is possible to transcend this natural law. In fact, the very inevitability of destruction creates the terms that allow a worthy man or beast to transcend it. It is precisely through the effort to battle the inevitable that a man can prove himself. Indeed, a man can prove this determination over and over through the worthiness of the opponents he chooses to face. Santiago finds the marlin worthy of a fight, just as he once found “the great negro of Cienfuegos” worthy. HSantiago, though destroyed at the end of the novella, is never defeated. Instead, he emerges as a hero. Santiago’s struggle does not enable him to change man’s place in the world. Rather, it enables him to meet his most dignified destiny.
While it is certainly true that Santiago’s eighty-four-day run of bad luck is an affront to his pride as a masterful fisherman, and that his attempt to bear out his skills by sailing far into the gulf waters leads to disaster, Hemingway does not condemn his protagonist for being full of pride. On the contrary, Santiago stands as proof that pride motivates men to greatness. Because the old man acknowledges that he killed the mighty marlin largely out of pride, and because his capture of the marlin leads in turn to his heroic transcendence of defeat, pride becomes the source of Santiago’s greatest strength. Without a ferocious sense of pride, that battle would never have been fought, or more likely, it would have been abandoned before the end.
Santiago’s pride also motivates his desire to transcend the destructive forces of nature. Throughout the novel, no matter how baleful his circumstances become, the old man exhibits an unflagging determination to catch the marlin and bring it to shore. When the first shark arrives, Santiago’s resolve is mentioned twice in the space of just a few paragraphs. Even if the old man had returned with the marlin intact, his moment of glory, like the marlin’s meat, would have been short-lived. The glory and honor Santiago accrues comes not from his battle itself but from his pride and determination to fight.
Santiago dreams his pleasant dream of the lions at play on the beaches of Africa three times. The first time is the night before he departs on his three-day fishing expedition, the second occurs when he sleeps on the boat for a few hours in the middle of his struggle with the marlin, and the third takes place at the very end of the book. In fact, the sober promise of the triumph and regeneration with which the novella closes is supported by the final image of the lions. Because Santiago associates the lions with his youth, the dream suggests the circular nature of life. Additionally, because Santiago imagines the lions, fierce predators, playing, his dream suggests a harmony between the opposing forces—life and death, love and hate, destruction and regeneration—of nature.
This book gives me courage of conquering all kinds of difficulties .And I have the belief that the most beautiful thing is the process that we make our best to achieve our dream,and never say give up .
Have you heard or readYes,it is one of Hemingway’s most enduring works. It is the story of an old Cuban fisherman went to the sea, fought with a giant marlin far out in the Gulf Stream. After a few of cruel fights ,he won. Though he was so beaten with the trip, he still full of brave. He was a hero.
is a famous book and it was awarded the 1954 Nobel Prize for Literature. There is a eminent sentence in the book—“But man is not made for defeat,” he said ,‘A man can be destroyed but not defeated.’
When I was a little girl, I was timid. In summer, I always went swimming with friends. We played happily and swam quickly. The border of the swimming pool is 1.2 metres deep,but the center is 1.8 metres. My friends were so brave to swim though the swimming pool but I was so afriad that I can’t .My friends told me it was only a little difficulties.‘ You must overcome it.There were more big difficulties in our lives and waiting we to slove . If we were afraid these little problem, how can we face to setback? So we must be brave and try our best to overcome the problems.’ After their words, I was full of courage. I did some ready exercise and tired to swim though. Finally, I succeed. We all felt excited and they celebrated to me. Yes, we should be brave and try out best to overcome difficult problems. We can’t give up easily.
We all know the big earthquake which had reached eight on the Richter scale in Wenchuan. It was a sad and shock earthquake. All things lay in ruins in a few seconds. The suffering of the people was extreme. There were many people been dead. Many people were wounded under the falling building.People felt painful but they were staunch. They waited rescue persons to save them. A 60-year-old woman , she was so great that she had insisted 196 hours. A pig,it had insisted 36 days. Many people were saved afters 4 days. They were all heros. They were brave and staunch,so they were still living. In this earthquake, we can realize the government’s strong responsibility and 1.3million people were united and kind. The people who injured showed the willpower and they were firm as the fishman.
is a good book.I learn many from the book.It teach me a person should be firm and brave in our live. We can’t be afraid and give up the difficultics. We must try our best to overcome the problems. We should trust ourself we can do it. Nothing is impossible.
The filling of
I read
Santiago was old just as Hemingway said “Everything about him was old except his eyes and they were the same color as the sea and were cheerful and undefeated.” He think every day is a new day. No matter how old he is. He said “It’s better to be lucky. But I would rather be exact. Then when luck comes you are ready.”
Santiago was poor; he had nothing except a little boat and harpoon. But he said “Now is no time to think of what you do not have. Think of what you can do with what there is.” Santiago was alone. Mandolin can not go to sea with him because of his parents. He catches fishes alone. He fights with sharks alone. He can talk to nobody except himself. No one will help him. But even though he faced hungry; weary and difficulty alone, he does not give up.
Somebody said Santiago was a failure. Because at last he said he wishes that it had been a dream and the boy cried for him can really approve it. In this way I think Santiago was a lucky person. Because he still had Mandolin. The boy loved him and pitied him. If Mandolin had no money his own, he begged or stole to make sure that Santiago had enough to eat and fresh baits for his lines. The old man accepts his kindness with humility that was like a quiet kind of pride. I think Santiago is a hero and he is not a failure. Because catch fish is a part of his life and it is the memory of his mind and he catch a really big fish back at last. The value of his life was completely reflected in the way he catch fish. He is the real winner in his own world. After I think about this book and Santiago. I realized that I’m not brave enough. I can not stay hopeful when I face laugh and indifferent. And I don’t have enough courage to do what I want to do. I’m so afraid of this world. I’m so afraid of the people’s words who speak it behind my back. I’m so cowardly and that’s the reason I always lose. Now I know what to do. Don’t mind others. Be myself. I need possess the quality of reason and shay cheerful and undefeated. Be kind and happy. Be strong and optimistic.
This year summer vacation i read the american well-known writer hemingway's novel " old person and sea ". i extremely admire in the novel the senior fisherman's will he let me understand one person certainly must have relentless spirit only then could obtain successfully.
the novel description is one year near sixty years of age senior fisherman when alone goes to sea in one fishing fished one big fish actually did not pull. the senior fisherman socialized several days after the fish only then discovered this was the big marlin which one surpassed the oneself fishing boat several fold although knew perfectly well very difficult to win but still did not give up. afterwards and further because in the big marlin wound fish fishy smell brought in several crowds of shark fish snatches the food but the old person still did not hope like this to give up finally highlighted encircles tightly returned to the big fish belt the fishing port lets other fishermen not admire already.
when i read " the senior fisherman think: here to the seacoast really was too near perhaps could have a bigger fish in a farther place... " when i extremely admire this senior fisherman because he by now already projected on some fish but he had not settled to the present situation but was approaches the bigger goal advance. again has a look us usually meets one slightly is difficult we all complain incessantly. we will be the motherland future will be supposed to like this old person same mind lofty aspiration will even better pursue even better the bigger goal.
when i read " the big marlin start fast to gather round the young fishing boat hover twined the cable on the mast the old person right hand lifted up high the steel fork leapt the water surface in it the flash did utmost throws to its heart one wail ended the big fish's life it was static static floats on the water surface... " when my heart also liked together the big stone falls. i extremely admire old person that kind do not dread the relentless spirit although knows the match strength is very strong but he not slightly flinches but is welcomes difficultly above. just because had this kind of spirit the senior fisherman only then achieved this life and death contest success. we also must study senior fisherman's spirit in life handles the matter does not fear the difficulty only then can obtain successfully.
After I read the book that is called “The old man and the sea” I was dee*** moved by the old man and his spirit.
The book written by Hemingway tells us a story that an old man whose name is Santiago went out to do some fishing on the sea on his own but down on his luck he hadn’t caught any fish for 84 days. Next day he caught a huge marlin which is bigger than his boat and took a formidable battle with it. He beat it at the end. When he was on the way home the smells of blood of the marlin draw a lot of sharks’ attention and they fought for it. In order to protect the marlin and him theold man tried his best to fight with them. After a cruel fight he won it and cameback home tiredly. Although he only got a skeleton of the giant marlin at last he is also a great hero in many people’s heart.
In the article the old man is a great man. Although he failed for many time in his lifehe never gave up. He is a steel-willing man who insisted his dream and work hard. You can destroy him but you can’t beat him. Whatever he faced to he would never yield to the difficult which shows a strong spirit.
In our lives I think we should learn something from the old man which will make us have a more valuable life. Whenever and wherever we meet trouble we should never give up and try our best to overcome it. We should always keep on our dream and make it come true. Every one has his backbone which can’t be bended by anyone which is very important for everyone in his whole life. If we meet difficulty in our life we should face it bravely and work out some way to solve theproblem whatever would happen at last. We can be destroyed but we can’t bebeat by anything or anyone. If you failed for many times in your life you wouldn’t surrender because if you try to do it you may succeed in your life but if you do not do it you would not be succeed forever. Everyone has his advantages and disadvantages in his life but we should face to our disadvantages and we must beconfident which would also make us be confident of our life. We should have faith in what we do in our life we will have a more beautiful life in the future and our dream will come true. We should pay more attention to what we do during our liferather than what we will get at the end because I think it is more important than any thing you get finally. If you enjoy you life not something you get you will have a meaningful life and a noble spirit. It will hurt you when you pay more attention to what you get in the future. It will also make you do something wrong which is bad for other people our society and our country.
I’m impressed by the sentence which is “We can be destroyed but we can’t bebeat.” I think everyone should do it no matter what happen in our life. This book makes me know something I didn’t know in the past. The book and the old man have a great influence in my life. I love this book.
I was very favor of a section of music in its balls. It’s pretty brisk, liked a wonderful song of a bird. Regarding to the characters, I liked Elizabeth, the he-ro-in-e,though I didn’t think she’s beautiful. But she’s smart. However, I didn’t pay much attention to the plot. I thought it’s so long that it made me impatient and bored. By now, I haven’t read the whole story in English or its Chinese version, either. I owe it to my prejudice. In fact, I didn’t understand the story at that time. I didn’t know why it called Pride and Prejudice. Of course someone was pride, but I didn’t find where’ s the prejudice. I thought it’s normal, the way people treated each other in that. I considered prejudice would be very disgusting. But to the movieeverthing was OK in my minds, except its length. Now, I think I have understood more about it. I’m a prejudiced person so I can’t find where’s wrong.
I merely like to do the things I like. Everytime I meet somebody or something,my thinking about he or it all depends on my foregone experience and my mood of thetime.
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!

Firstly,I would like to review some information about this book.Such as the background,major characters and the topic of it.
The Old Man and the Sea is a story by Ernest Hemingway, written in Cuba in 1951 and published in 1952. It was the last major work of fiction to be produced by Hemingway and published in his lifetime. One of his most famous works, it centers upon Santiago, an aging Cuban fisherman who struggles with a giant marlin far out in the Gulf Stream.
The Old Man and the Sea served to reinvigorate Hemingways literary reputation and prompted a reexamination of his entire body of work. The novella was initially received with much popularity; it restored many readers confidence in Hemingways capability as an author. Its publisher, Scribners, on an early dust jacket, called the novella a "new classic," and many critics favorably compared it with such works as William Faulkners "The Bear" and Herman Melvilles Moby-Dick.
This book gives me a deep impression especially the description about the man’s braveness and persistence.
In this book, in order to suggest the profundity of the old man’s sacrifice and the glory that derives from it, Hemingway purposefully likens Santiago to Christ, who, according to Christian theology, gave his life for the greater glory of humankind. Crucifixion imagery is the most noticeable way in which Hemingway creates the symbolic parallel between Santiago and Christ. When Santiago’s palms are first cut by his fishing line, the reader cannot help but think of Christ suffering his stigmata. Later, when the sharks arrive, Hemingway portrays the old man as a crucified martyr, saying that he makes a noise similar to that of a man having nails driven through his hands. Furthermore, the image of the old man struggling up the hill with his mast across his shoulders recalls Christ’s march toward Calvary. Even the position in which Santiago collapses on his bed-face down with his arms out straight and the palms of his hands up-brings to mind the image of Christ suffering on the cross. Hemingway employs these images in the final pages of the novella in order to link Santiago to Christ, who exemplified transcendence by turning loss into gain, defeat into triumph, and even death into renewed life.
The major characters in this book are also vivid and lively.
Santiago?,the old man of the novella’s title, Santiago is a Cuban fisherman who has had an extended run of bad luck. Despite his expertise, he has been unable to catch a fish for eighty-four days. He is humble, yet exhibits a justified pride in his abilities. His knowledge of the sea and its creatures, and of his craft, is unparalleled and helps him preserve a sense of hope regardless of circumstance.
The marlin?,Santiago hooks the marlin, which we learn at the end of the novella measures eighteen feet, on the first afternoon of his fishing expedition. Manolin?,a boy presumably in his adolescence, Manolin is Santiago’s apprentice and devoted attendant. The old man first took him out on a boat when he was merely five years old. Due to Santiago’s recent bad luck, Manolin’s parents have forced the boy to go out on a different fishing boat. Manolin, however, still cares dee* for the old man, to whom he continues to look as a mentor.
Joe DiMaggio, although DiMaggio never appears in the novel, he plays a significant role nonetheless. Santiago worships him as a model of strength and commitment, and his thoughts turn toward DiMaggio whenever he needs to reassure himself of his own strength. Perico ?,Perico, the reader assumes, owns the bodega in Santiago’s village. He never appears in the novel, but he serves an important role in the fisherman’s life by providing him with newspapers that report the baseball scores. This act establishes him as a kind man who helps the aging Santiago.
Martin,like Perico, Martin, a café owner in Santiago’s village, does not appear in the story. The reader learns of him through Manolin, who often goes to Martin for Santiago’s supper. As the old man says, Martin is a man of frequent kindness who deserves to be repaid.
From the very first paragraph, Santiago is characterized as someone struggling against defeat. He has gone eighty-four days without catching a fish-he will soon pass his own record of eighty-seven days. Almost as a reminder of Santiago’s struggle, the sail of his skiff resembles “the flag of permanent defeat.” But the old man refuses defeat at every turn: he resolves to sail out beyond the other fishermen to where the biggest fish promise to be. He lands the marlin, tying his record of eighty-seven days after a brutal three-day fight, and he continues to ward off sharks from stealing his prey, even though he knows the battle is useless.
Because Santiago is pitted against the creatures of the sea, some readers choose to view the tale as a chronicle of man’s battle against the natural world, but the novella is, more accurately, the story of man’s place within nature. Both Santiago and the marlin display qualities of pride, honor, and bravery, and both are subject to the same eternal law: they must kill or be killed. As Santiago reflects when he watches the weary warbler fly toward shore, where it will inevitably meet the hawk, the world is filled with predators, and no living thing can escape the inevitable struggle that will lead to its death. Santiago lives according to his own observation: “man is not made for defeat . . . [a] man can be destroyed but not defeated.” In Hemingway’s portrait of the world, death is inevitable, but the best men (and animals) will nonetheless refuse to give in to its power. Accordingly, man and fish will struggle to the death, just as hungry sharks will lay waste to an old man’s trophy catch.
The novel suggests that it is possible to transcend this natural law. In fact, the very inevitability of destruction creates the terms that allow a worthy man or beast to transcend it. It is precisely through the effort to battle the inevitable that a man can prove himself. Indeed, a man can prove this determination over and over through the worthiness of the opponents he chooses to face. Santiago finds the marlin worthy of a fight, just as he once found “the great negro of Cienfuegos” worthy. HSantiago, though destroyed at the end of the novella, is never defeated. Instead, he emerges as a hero. Santiago’s struggle does not enable him to change man’s place in the world. Rather, it enables him to meet his most dignified destiny.
While it is certainly true that Santiago’s eighty-four-day run of bad luck is an affront to his pride as a masterful fisherman, and that his attempt to bear out his skills by sailing far into the gulf waters leads to disaster, Hemingway does not condemn his protagonist for being full of pride. On the contrary, Santiago stands as proof that pride motivates men to greatness. Because the old man acknowledges that he killed the mighty marlin largely out of pride, and because his capture of the marlin leads in turn to his heroic transcendence of defeat, pride becomes the source of Santiago’s greatest strength. Without a ferocious sense of pride, that battle would never have been fought, or more likely, it would have been abandoned before the end.
Santiago’s pride also motivates his desire to transcend the destructive forces of nature. Throughout the novel, no matter how baleful his circumstances become, the old man exhibits an unflagging determination to catch the marlin and bring it to shore. When the first shark arrives, Santiago’s resolve is mentioned twice in the space of just a few paragraphs. Even if the old man had returned with the marlin intact, his moment of glory, like the marlin’s meat, would have been short-lived. The glory and honor Santiago accrues comes not from his battle itself but from his pride and determination to fight.
Santiago dreams his pleasant dream of the lions at play on the beaches of Africa three times. The first time is the night before he departs on his three-day fishing expedition, the second occurs when he sleeps on the boat for a few hours in the middle of his struggle with the marlin, and the third takes place at the very end of the book. In fact, the sober promise of the triumph and regeneration with which the novella closes is supported by the final image of the lions. Because Santiago associates the lions with his youth, the dream suggests the circular nature of life. Additionally, because Santiago imagines the lions, fierce predators, playing, his dream suggests a harmony between the opposing forces-life and death, love and hate, destruction and regeneration-of nature.
This book gives me courage of conquering all kinds of difficulties .And I have the belief that the most beautiful thing is the process that we make our best to achieve our dream,and never say give up .
On summer vacation of this year I studied in novel " old man and sea " of Hemingway famous writer of U.S.A. . I admire the old fishermans will in the novel very much he lets me understand that a person must have unremitting spirit could succeed . What the novel is described is an old fisherman almost the sixty years old when go to sea and fish alone once have angled to a big fish but can not draw. After tough fisherman and fish have socialized for a few days just find this is a big Malins fish which exceeds several times of ones 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 ……" Whenadmire 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 ones 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 ……"Whenthe 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 rivals 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 fishermans 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 ones own left hand " when the work this when have a rest " humorously also I am subdued by old mans optimistic spirit too. In life some losses are unavoidable we should treat the optimistic attitude cant worry about petty gain or loss .
Finally the novel sees with a teenager that old fisherman has 18 feet of big long Malins fish totally in the tolerance the ones that have described this fish are enormous again prove that old fishermans difficulty overcome is big than ordinary. Old fishermans spirit that makes great efforts to struggle fearless of danger and difficulty that the novel has been extolled we should be like him too can t be satisfied with the current situation should be positive upwards it should be unremitting to do anything it must not give up halfway to meeting difficulty should meet the difficulty. Only in this way we could obtain greater success and victory .

这是部浪漫又现实的爱情。爱情没有浪漫就失去其美好的色彩了。但是小说中种种关于门当户对,以及财富对婚姻的考量却充斥其中。
伊丽莎白为自己家人的行为给自己带来的影响万分懊恼,达西也因此劝宾利先生离开 简,后来自己也是在理智与情感较量之后万分矛盾地向伊丽莎白吐露心事。所以说什么是爱情？那种纯粹的感情,爱的不顾一切,单纯的洁白如雪的爱情是不是真如镜中花水中月,是不是只不过是人们心中的美好幻想和追求罢了,而现实生活中人们总是寻找二者之间的最佳*衡点。
伊丽莎白在知道威克姆的真实面目前对其充满好感,她的姨妈却说这样的青年托付终身不会幸福,因为他没有财产没有稳定收入,伊丽莎白接受这样的看法,并且主动克制了自己的感情。小说描写了一位老渔夫在海上捕鱼,经过了84天,他还没有捕到一条鱼,大家都说他运气不好,不吉利,等到第85天,他决定去渔夫们从未去过的深海去打鱼,以证明自己的能力和勇气。在海上,老人发现了一条很大的马林鱼,它克服了重重困难,经过艰难的搏斗,终于在第三天早晨,把鱼叉刺进了马林鱼的心脏。在返回的途中,老人与到了鲨鱼的五次袭击,他用鱼叉、船桨和刀子勇敢反击。当他驾驶小船回到港口时,马林鱼只剩下一幅巨大的白骨架。
“一个人可以被消灭,可你就是打不败他”。

After a week's insistence, I finally finished reading "the old man and the sea" this foreign name.The book left a deep impression on me, I can't forget it.This novel mainly wrote one old man fishing in the sea alone.He caught a big fish, the fish head and upper body tied to the edge of the boat.But he met the shark, the old man pulled out all the stops and shark struggle, sharks eat fish can eat to all live to 800 pounds.
Look at the book, my heart can't be calm once in a long time, the common and respectable old man made me dee*** understood: "perchance life should not be any difficulties, should do their best efforts and hardships do indomitable struggle of life.
Santiago ALGOL grandpa's stubborn spirit really makes me admire.Whenever I read about grandpa during a fierce battle with the sharks, I feel I do not know want nervous or worry about grandpa, grandpa, however, is always the spirit of optimism to face some great difficulties.See here, I couldn't help thinking of yourself, when I met with some difficulties, I always feel very frustrated, feel very tired, really want to escape from reality.Look at somebody else's Santiago ALGOL grandpa, undeterred by whether encounter any difficulty, but bravely to face!
So it should be human, not a death mask, to have confidence in myself.Even if we encounter difficulties, should not let it to beat, should bravely to destroy it.
I believe that with my efforts, I will become like Santiago ALGOL grandpa so brave, so brave to fight.
经过一星期的坚持,我终于读完了《老人与海》这本外国名著。这本书给我留下了深刻印象,使我无法忘记它。这本小说主要写了一位老人独自在海上打鱼。他钓到了一条大鱼,把鱼头和上半身绑在小船边上。但是他遇上了鲨鱼,老人使出了浑身解数和鲨鱼搏斗,鲨鱼把能吃到的鱼肉都吃了却还有800磅左右。
看了这本书,我的心久久不能*静,这位普通而又可敬的老人使我深深的懂得了：“做人不应该被任何困难所压服,应该尽自己最大的努力与生活中的磨难做不屈不挠的斗争。
桑提阿果爷爷的硬骨头精神实在令我佩服。每当我读到爷爷与鲨鱼进行激烈的搏斗时,我的心情不知是要紧张还是要为爷爷担心,可是爷爷,总是保持着乐观的精神去面对一些极大的困难。看到这里,我不由得想起了自己,每当我遇到了一些困难时,总是觉得很不顺心,觉得很烦,很想逃避现实。再看看人家桑提阿果爷爷,不管遇到任何困难也毫不退缩,而是勇敢地去面对!
做人也应该这样,不要一副贪生怕死的样子,要对自己有信心。即使我们遇到重重困难,也绝不应该让它给打倒,应该勇敢地去消灭它。
我相信,在我的努力下,我一定会变得像桑提阿果爷爷那样勇敢,那样勇于拼搏。
The old man and the sea creates a classic image of a tough guy. Santiago, an old fisherman in Cuba, went out to sea alone and caught a huge Marlin after 84 days of nothing. This is a big fish two feet longer than his boat that the old man has never seen or heard of. The fish is strong and dragging
Why didnt Hemingway let the old man win in the end? In the words of the old man in the novel, "a man is not born to be defeated", "a man can be destroyed, but he cant be defeated." This is the philosophy of the old man and the sea. Theres no denying that as long as its human, its flawed. When a person admits this defect and tries to overcome it instead of succumbing to it, whether he can finally overcome his own defect, he is a winner, because he has overcome his own compromise on the defect, he is the winner of his own courage and confidence. The old fisherman is the winner who dares to challenge his own defects and courage and confidence. From the perspective of worldly view of victory, the old fisherman is not the final winner, because although he defeated the great Marlin at first, the great Marlin was finally eaten by the sharks. He just returned to the shore with the white bone shelf of the great marlin, that is to say, the sharks are the winners. However, in the eyes of idealists, the old fisherman is the winner, because he has never been to the sea, not to the great marlin, not to the shark compromise and surrender. As music master Beethoven said, "I can be destroyed, but I cant be conquered.".
Human nature is strong, and human beings have their own limits, but it is precisely because people like the old fishermen challenge the limits again and again, and surpass them that the limits are expanded again and again, placing greater challenges in front of human beings. In this sense, such heroes as the old fisherman Santiago, whether they challenge the limit of success or failure, are worthy of our eternal respect.
Because what he brings us is the most noble confidence of human beings!

I was very favor of a section of music in its balls. It’s pretty brisk, liked a wonderful song of a bird. Regarding to the characters, I liked Elizabeth, the he-ro-in-e,though I didn’t think she’s beautiful. But she’s smart. However, I didn’t pay much attention to the plot. I thought it’s so long that it made me impatient and bored. By now, I haven’t read the whole story in English or its Chinese version, either. I owe it to my prejudice. In fact, I didn’t understand the story at that time.
I didn’t know why it called Pride and Prejudice. Of course someone was pride, but I didn’t find where’ s the prejudice. I thought it’s normal, the way people treated each other in that. I considered prejudice would be very disgusting. But to the movie everthing was OK in my minds, except its length. Now, I think I have understood more about it. I’m a prejudiced person so I can’t find where’s wrong.
I merely like to do the things I like. Everytime I meet somebody or something,my thinking about he or it all depends on my foregone experience and my mood of the time.
When I was a middle school student, I’ve finished this book in Chinese.But when I read it in English,I really gain something new both in the way of expression and the spirit it shows to us.May be different ages to read the same book we will learn different things from it.At least, for my part, that is true.
Firstly,I would like to review some information about this book.Such as the background,major characters and the topic of it.
The Old Man and the Sea is a story by Ernest Hemingway, written in Cuba in 1951 and published in 1952. It was the last major work of fiction to be produced by Hemingway and published in his lifetime. One of his most famous works, it centers upon Santiago, an aging Cuban fisherman who struggles with a giant marlin far out in the Gulf Stream.
The Old Man and the Sea served to reinvigorate Hemingways literary reputation and prompted a reexamination of his entire body of work. The novella was initially received with much popularity; it restored many readers confidence in Hemingways capability as an author. Its publisher, Scribners, on an early dust jacket, called the novella a "new classic," and many critics favorably compared it with such works as William Faulkners "The Bear" and Herman Melvilles Moby-Dick.
This book gives me a deep impression especially the description about the man’s braveness and persistence.
In this book, in order to suggest the profundity of the old man’s sacrifice and the glory that derives from it, Hemingway purposefully likens Santiago to Christ, who, according to Christian theology, gave his life for the greater glory of humankind. Crucifixion imagery is the most noticeable way in which Hemingway creates the symbolic parallel between Santiago and Christ. When Santiago’s palms are first cut by his fishing line, the reader cannot help but think of Christ suffering his stigmata. Later, when the sharks arrive, Hemingway portrays the old man as a crucified martyr, saying that he makes a noise similar to that of a man having nails driven through his hands. Furthermore, the image of the old man struggling up the hill with his mast across his shoulders recalls Christ’s march toward Calvary. Even the position in which Santiago collapses on his bed-face down with his arms out straight and the palms of his hands up-brings to mind the image of Christ suffering on the cross. Hemingway employs these images in the final pages of the novella in order to link Santiago to Christ, who exemplified transcendence by turning loss into gain, defeat into triumph, and even death into renewed life.
The major characters in this book are also vivid and lively.
Santiago?,the old man of the novella’s title, Santiago is a Cuban fisherman who has had an extended run of bad luck. Despite his expertise, he has been unable to catch a fish for eighty-four days. He is humble, yet exhibits a justified pride in his abilities. His knowledge of the sea and its creatures, and of his craft, is unparalleled and helps him preserve a sense of hope regardless of circumstance.
The marlin?,Santiago hooks the marlin, which we learn at the end of the novella measures eighteen feet, on the first afternoon of his fishing expedition. Manolin?,a boy presumably in his adolescence, Manolin is Santiago’s apprentice and devoted attendant. The old man first took him out on a boat when he was merely five years old. Due to Santiago’s recent bad luck, Manolin’s parents have forced the boy to go out on a different fishing boat. Manolin, however, still cares dee* for the old man, to whom he continues to look as a mentor.
Joe DiMaggio, although DiMaggio never appears in the novel, he plays a significant role nonetheless. Santiago worships him as a model of strength and commitment, and his thoughts turn toward DiMaggio whenever he needs to reassure himself of his own strength. Perico ?,Perico, the reader assumes, owns the bodega in Santiago’s village. He never appears in the novel, but he serves an important role in the fisherman’s life by providing him with newspapers that report the baseball scores. This act establishes him as a kind man who helps the aging Santiago.
Martin,like Perico, Martin, a café owner in Santiago’s village, does not appear in the story. The reader learns of him through Manolin, who often goes to Martin for Santiago’s supper. As the old man says, Martin is a man of frequent kindness who deserves to be repaid.
From the very first paragraph, Santiago is characterized as someone struggling against defeat. He has gone eighty-four days without catching a fish-he will soon pass his own record of eighty-seven days. Almost as a reminder of Santiago’s struggle, the sail of his skiff resembles “the flag of permanent defeat.” But the old man refuses defeat at every turn: he resolves to sail out beyond the other fishermen to where the biggest fish promise to be. He lands the marlin, tying his record of eighty-seven days after a brutal three-day fight, and he continues to ward off sharks from stealing his prey, even though he knows the battle is useless.
Because Santiago is pitted against the creatures of the sea, some readers choose to view the tale as a chronicle of man’s battle against the natural world, but the novella is, more accurately, the story of man’s place within nature. Both Santiago and the marlin display qualities of pride, honor, and bravery, and both are subject to the same eternal law: they must kill or be killed. As Santiago reflects when he watches the weary warbler fly toward shore, where it will inevitably meet the hawk, the world is filled with predators, and no living thing can escape the inevitable struggle that will lead to its death. Santiago lives according to his own observation: “man is not made for defeat . . . [a] man can be destroyed but not defeated.” In Hemingway’s portrait of the world, death is inevitable, but the best men (and animals) will nonetheless refuse to give in to its power. Accordingly, man and fish will struggle to the death, just as hungry sharks will lay waste to an old man’s trophy catch.
The novel suggests that it is possible to transcend this natural law. In fact, the very inevitability of destruction creates the terms that allow a worthy man or beast to transcend it. It is precisely through the effort to battle the inevitable that a man can prove himself. Indeed, a man can prove this determination over and over through the worthiness of the opponents he chooses to face. Santiago finds the marlin worthy of a fight, just as he once found “the great negro of Cienfuegos” worthy. HSantiago, though destroyed at the end of the novella, is never defeated. Instead, he emerges as a hero. Santiago’s struggle does not enable him to change man’s place in the world. Rather, it enables him to meet his most dignified destiny.
While it is certainly true that Santiago’s eighty-four-day run of bad luck is an affront to his pride as a masterful fisherman, and that his attempt to bear out his skills by sailing far into the gulf waters leads to disaster, Hemingway does not condemn his protagonist for being full of pride. On the contrary, Santiago stands as proof that pride motivates men to greatness. Because the old man acknowledges that he killed the mighty marlin largely out of pride, and because his capture of the marlin leads in turn to his heroic transcendence of defeat, pride becomes the source of Santiago’s greatest strength. Without a ferocious sense of pride, that battle would never have been fought, or more likely, it would have been abandoned before the end.
Santiago’s pride also motivates his desire to transcend the destructive forces of nature. Throughout the novel, no matter how baleful his circumstances become, the old man exhibits an unflagging determination to catch the marlin and bring it to shore. When the first shark arrives, Santiago’s resolve is mentioned twice in the space of just a few paragraphs. Even if the old man had returned with the marlin intact, his moment of glory, like the marlin’s meat, would have been short-lived. The glory and honor Santiago accrues comes not from his battle itself but from his pride and determination to fight.
Santiago dreams his pleasant dream of the lions at play on the beaches of Africa three times. The first time is the night before he departs on his three-day fishing expedition, the second occurs when he sleeps on the boat for a few hours in the middle of his struggle with the marlin, and the third takes place at the very end of the book. In fact, the sober promise of the triumph and regeneration with which the novella closes is supported by the final image of the lions. Because Santiago associates the lions with his youth, the dream suggests the circular nature of life. Additionally, because Santiago imagines the lions, fierce predators, playing, his dream suggests a harmony between the opposing forces-life and death, love and hate, destruction and regeneration-of nature.
This book gives me courage of conquering all kinds of difficulties .And I have the belief that the most beautiful thing is the process that we make our best to achieve our dream,and never say give up .
On summer vacation of this year I studied in novel " old man and sea " of Hemingway famous writer of U.S.A. . I admire the old fishermans will in the novel very much he lets me understand that a person must have unremitting spirit could succeed . What the novel is described is an old fisherman almost the sixty years old when go to sea and fish alone once have angled to a big fish but can not draw. After tough fisherman and fish have socialized for a few days just find this is a big Malins fish which exceeds several times of ones 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 ……" Whenadmire 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 ones 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 ……"Whenthe 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 rivals 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 fishermans 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 ones own left hand " when the work this when have a rest " humorously also I am subdued by old mans optimistic spirit too. In life some losses are unavoidable we should treat the optimistic attitude cant worry about petty gain or loss .
Finally the novel sees with a teenager that old fisherman has 18 feet of big long Malins fish totally in the tolerance the ones that have described this fish are enormous again prove that old fishermans difficulty overcome is big than ordinary. Old fishermans spirit that makes great efforts to struggle fearless of danger and difficulty that the novel has been extolled we should be like him too can t be satisfied with the current situation should be positive upwards it should be unremitting to do anything it must not give up halfway to meeting difficulty should meet the difficulty. Only in this way we could obtain greater success and victory .

【热门】《老人与海》读后感
当品读完一部作品后，大家对人生或者事物一定产生了许多感想，需要好好地就所收获的东西写一篇读后感了。那么如何写读后感才能更有感染力呢？以下是小编为大家整理的《老人与海》读后感，仅供参考，希望能够帮助到大家。
最*几天，我把《老人与海》这本书读完了。并从中得到了许多感悟。
本书的主人是生活在古巴的一名叫圣地亚哥的渔夫。他在一次捕鱼中与一条巨大的马林鱼相搏斗，最后失败而又沮丧地回到了家。
“一个人并不是生来要给打败的，你尽可以把它消灭掉，可就是打不败它。”这句话既是对圣地亚哥永不服输，顽强拼搏精神的赞扬，也是给我了诸多启示。“冷冷的海风不停地吹着号角，海风中夹杂着一股咸咸的血腥。”在这样恶劣的环境下，圣地亚哥竟然还能够以顽强的毅力坚持下去，这实际上就是一种硬汉精神，他正是凭着这种性格，才能够在鲨鱼群与恶劣的天气中全身而退，安全回家。
我们在生活中也是这样，很多事情并不是一帆风顺就能够做好的，都是我们要靠顽强的毅力与勇气苦苦支撑下去，最终才可能收获成功的果实。像我们考试时，如果没有背会、背熟知识点，那么我们在考试中怎么可能会考出比较好的成绩呢？没有按时完成老师布置的作业，到时候知识点掌握不牢靠又该怎么办呢？
只有顽强与拼搏一把，我们才可能在初中的舞台上绣出我们最独特的风采。这是我从《老人与海》中感悟到的。
为了自己这学期的期末考试而冲刺吧！
人可以被毁灭，但不可以被击败！

本书讲了一位古巴渔夫独自出海捕鱼，钓到了一只马林鱼，回港途中遇上了鲨鱼，一场恶战后，鲨鱼死了，但它们也把老人的大鱼吃得只剩下一具骨架，老人疲倦地回了港。我合上书，渔夫圣地亚哥的顽强和毅力已深深打动了我，他对生活有着美好的希望，他有时甚至感谢磨难，因为磨难，让他的生活更精彩！
老人与鲨鱼搏斗的情节给我留下深刻的印象，他信心满满地与鲨鱼拼搏，老人正手拿鱼叉，神情凝重地盯着鲨鱼，使劲一叉，一条鲨鱼**掉了，接着，老人又杀死了几条鲨鱼，老人经过坚持不懈的努力，终于杀了鲨鱼群。文中，老人与孩子关系的描述也给我留下深刻的印象，老人四次大喴“要是孩子在，就好了！”
在和大鱼拼搏时，老人大喊，他的信心，就可以加倍，并且，可以将大鱼很快拉上来，老人一个人在船上休息时大喊，可以让老人不寂寞，可以老人希望和安慰。啊！圣地亚哥，你靠自己的努力而胜利了！我佩服你！
《老人与海鸥》是邓启耀写的一篇文章，这篇文章给我了非一般的感动。
这篇文章讲了：老人把海鸥当成自己的亲人看待，给他们取名字，并每天给海鸥喂食，是海鸥的好朋友。老人去世后，海鸥们围着老人的遗像前翻飞盘旋，大声鸣叫，像是为老人守灵的白翼天使，不忍心离开这个每天给它们喂食的亲人。他们也许已经知道老人已经去世了，在他们面前的老人其实是一张遗像，真正的老人已经不在了……但他们依然在一声声呼唤着老人，他们一定是认为自己的一声声呼唤能把老人复活。当然这是不可能的事情。
老人为什么要每天走二十余里来给海鸥门喂食呢？向他这样的老人应该在家里靠在摇椅上安享晚年，可他为什么每天来给海鸥们喂食呢？我反复的读了这篇文章，明白了，老人认为海鸥是吉祥鸟、幸福鸟，海鸥在哪，就给哪带来福气。
读了老人与海鸥，我明白了：人与动物之间，要有真挚深厚的情谊。我突然想起了一个博友写的一句话：爱，往往能创造出一个奇迹！
失败，在许多人的眼里是可怕的，它一旦疯起来，就可以让人悲伤，失去生活中的希望。如果失败战胜不了你，而是被你踩在脚下那么成功就是你的。
著名作家海明威在《老人与海》中写的那位老人就是一个敢于与失败作斗争的人。
《老人与海》主要讲了一位名叫桑提亚哥的老渔翁，一次特别的打鱼经历。在连续八十四天没有打到渔后的第二天，他非常幸运地捕到了一条比他的船还大的鱼——大马林鱼。这鱼大，自然力气也大，它拖着老人和小船在海上漂流了两天两夜。后来老人用了全身力气才把鱼刺死，可不幸的是，鱼的血却把鲨鱼引来了，老人只好用剩下的力气和鲨鱼决斗。后来老人的命是保下了，可是鱼却只剩下骨架。
作者为什么没让老人胜利？因为他要向我们说明一个道理，就是小说中的老人的话：“人尽可以被毁灭，却不能被打败。”
意思是人们可以被毁掉，但不可以向别人屈服，任人摆布。
《红楼梦》看完之后回味无穷，我又开始读起了世界名著之一的《老人与海》。
本书讲述的主要内容是：一位老人孤身一人在海上捕鱼，八十四天一无所获，等终于钓到了大鱼，用了两天两夜才将其刺死。返航的途中遭遇鲨鱼的袭击，经过一天一夜的缠斗，大鱼仅剩骨架。但老人并未失去希望和信心，休整之后，准备再次出海。
“人可以被毁灭，但不能被打败。”书中的老人钓到了大鱼，大鱼使劲的想挣脱，但老人也不给它机会，尽管鱼线把手划伤，老人也坚持了两天两夜，这样的品质不正是“持之以恒”吗？不像我们，干什么事干了一点觉得太难了，半途而废，知难而退。还有，老人虽然八十四天连个鱼影都没见着，但是他永远保持一颗自信心，坚信自己一定能钓到鱼。同学们，难道书中的老人不值得我们学*吗？
看完这本书，使我明白:做事情不仅要有自信心，而且也要持之以恒、知难而上！
在*常的生活中，我看到许许多多的书，这些书有的让我知道了生活中遇到的困难怎么样面对，有的让我知道了许多人生的道理，其中著名作家海明威写的《老人与海》让我体会很深。
这本书说了一个这样的故事：古巴有一位老渔夫名叫圣地亚哥，有一次他连续84天都没有打到一条鱼。于是他坚持不懈，终于钓到了一大马林鱼，绑在自己的小船边。在回港的路途中，遇到了无数次鲨鱼，他用了一切办法去反击。最后，在到港以后，那只大马林鱼就剩下一条脊骨了。虽然只剩下一条脊骨，这种精神也无法摧毁他英勇的意志。
我以前一遇到一些无法解决的困难，就打退堂鼓，不想把这件困难圆满地解决掉。当我读完这本书后，每当我想退缩时，就能想到圣地亚哥那种永不放弃的精神，激励我坚持不懈，干什么事情都要有恒心，有意力，不能被困难吓倒。我要感谢这本书，让我及时找到了自己的缺点，在她的帮助下，在以后的学*和生活中我都将是授益非浅的。
六年级上学期教师教了我们《老人与海鸥》这篇课文。
我为其中人与海鸥心中的那份真诚的友谊所感动，老人将海鸥当作自我的子女看待，而海鸥也把老人当成自我的亲人，以致在老人死去时它们愿意做老人的“白翼天使”成为他唯一的守陵人。
我也疑惑过为什么海鸥与老人能建立起一段这么感人的友谊呢?
经过了解我明白了原因，那不仅仅是因为老人对海鸥的喜爱。
老人每一天要步行十余里路往返来喂海鸥，就连5毛钱一趟的班车他也不做，而4元5角一斤的饼干他却毫不犹豫的买给海鸥，而他自我的唯一奢侈品就是那两角一包的金沙江香烟。
从这篇课文中我得到一个结论：你对动物好;动物也会对你好。每种动物它都是有灵性的，你对它的好它都能感觉得到。
有人救了一只受伤的小麻雀，即使它的伤口好了，它也会重新飞回来。
读这篇文章我见证了老人与海鸥之间真挚的友谊，也明白了动物也有情感只要你对它好，它就会加倍的来报答你的恩情。
暑假的一天，我和妈妈到图书馆里借书，突然看到了这本书——《老人与海》。
《老人与海》这本书的作者是海明威，我以前没有读过海明威写的书，这是我第一次读他的作品，就让我感到大吃一惊。在故事里，主人公的性格，特点被作者描写的淋漓尽致。
故事中的老人八十四天没打到鱼了，在第八十五天的时候，他仍然独自出海，在海里终于遇到了一条大鱼，老人和鱼整整拼搏了三天两夜，终于把这条比船还大的鱼捉住了。再回去的路上，因大鱼的血腥味太大，引来了六只巨大而又凶残的鲨鱼，他使出浑身解数跟鲨鱼搏斗，最后终于杀死了这六条鲨鱼。虽然这条大鱼被鲨鱼吃得只剩下了鱼骨头，但是它还有大约800磅重。
这就是《老人与海》，老人没有被任何困难压服，他尽自己最大的努力与生活中的磨难做不屈不挠的斗争。
这永不言败的精神不正是我们要学*的吗？
暑假里，我读了由美国作家海明威所写的《老人与海》。
这本书主要讲述了一位名叫桑提阿果的老人出海打鱼的故事：老人在最初的84天里一无所获，连一条小鱼都没有抓到，但他依旧不灰心，决定在85天继续出海打鱼，好心的邻居给他拿来了一些鱼饵，随后他就划着船就出海了。皇天不负有心人，这天他终于钓到了一条鱼，这条鱼真大呀！老人跟它经过了三天三夜的搏斗，终于把它制服了，但由于这条鱼太大了，比船还大，老人只好把鱼绑在船尾，准备拖回去。在回来的路上，遇到了鲨鱼群，鲨鱼发现了这条大鱼想饱餐一顿，老人想尽办法和鲨鱼搏斗，在击退了最后一条鲨鱼后，他发现大鱼也被鲨鱼啃的只剩一副骨架和一个鱼头了。老人累坏了，他躺在船上顺着海流回到了村子。村里的人从来没有看到过这么大的一副鱼骨架，都很吃惊，大家都很佩服老人。
读了这篇故事后，我也很佩服老人，他是一个勇敢、遇到任何困难都沉着冷静、永不放弃的人，他坚信人只要努力付出及一定会有收获。我要好好学*他的高贵品质，以后不管在学*上或者生活中，遇到难题都要仔细思考解决办法，就一定能有好的收获。
寒假里我读了《老人与海》，这个故事非常的吸引我。
有一个叫圣地亚哥的渔民，他连续八十四天天天出海，可是却没有捕到一条鱼，别人都说他运气实在太差了。第八十五天，有一条比他的船都大的马林鱼上钩了。他用了好几天时间，终于将这条马林鱼制服。老人的麻烦并未结束，鱼的血招来了鲨鱼，来抢鱼肉，他又与鲨鱼搏斗，可是，那条大鱼也已残缺不全。
我很佩服他，连续八十四天没打到鱼，他也不灰心，很乐观。遇到困难他也不泄气、努力克服。就算遇到了比他的船还要大的马林鱼，他也不畏强大、勇于拼搏，勇敢地制服了它。最后，他在被一群鲨鱼攻击的时候，也不怕困难，坚强地抵抗着鲨鱼的进攻，即使丢掉了自己的武器。虽然最后他没有带回鲜美的鱼肉，只带回了一具巨大的鱼的骨架，但是他没有向困难低头，没有向挫折屈服！
老人这种面对困难也要勇往直前，不向困难低头的精神，值得我们去学*！
读过《老人与海鸥》后，我深有感悟，一个叫吴庆恒的老人住在昆明，这里的翠湖公园是红嘴鹤最多的地方，老人与这群海鸥结下了深情的友谊，一月三百零八元的工资一半以上是给海鸥买最喜欢的饼干，四元五角一斤，老人唯一的好东西是两毛钱的金沙江香烟。
在与海鸥相处的11年中，他与海鸥亲密无间，每逢冬天，带着褪了色的装鸥食的塑料袋来翠湖公园给海鸥喂食，还给海鸥起了名字，“独脚”“公主”“老沙”“灰头”……。
忽然有一天，那位老人去世了。游客把老人的遗像放在公园上，海鸥像炸了营一样，急速旋转翅膀，离我们是那样的*，我们让出了一些空地来，他们在遗像前站成两排，像守灵的白翼天使一样。

高中老人与海读后感
当赏读完一本名著后，大家心中一定有很多感想，需要写一篇读后感好好地作记录了。那么我们该怎么去写读后感呢？下面是小编为大家收集的高中老人与海读后感，欢迎阅读，希望大家能够喜欢。
在《老人与海》中，海明威终于为他所钟爱的硬汉找到了灵魂，这灵魂就是人类亘古不变的永恒价值。因此，在《老人与海》中，硬汉桑提亚哥的刚毅性格，已经成为小说的表面。通过桑提亚哥硬汉性格来礼赞人类的永恒价值，才成为小说的真正主题。《老人与海》中展现了哪些永恒的价值呢？
首先就是人的自信。
桑提亚哥连续出海八十四天了，一条鱼也没捕到。可是，“那双眼睛啊，像海水一样蓝，是愉快的，毫不沮丧的。”原先跟随桑提亚哥出海捕鱼的小孩，谈到他爸爸把他叫到别的船上去，说道：“他没多大的自信。”“是的。”老头儿说，“可是我们有，你说是不是？”
桑提亚哥的自信是绝对自信，是不以环境变化而变化的自信，是不用与他人比较的自信。在桑提亚哥的生存哲学中，即使遭遇到了极点的背运，人也只能自信。
人活着，唯一能确定的必然，就是走向死亡。除此之外，没有任何必然的东西可以依靠。既然人是靠偶然活着的，那么支撑人生存勇气的，就只有自信了。如果丧失了自信，在持续那么多天的背运之后，桑提亚哥还有勇气和毅力出海捕鱼吗？因此人活着就必须自信，不自信是人消费不起的奢侈品。正因为桑提亚哥有着绝对自信，他对小孩被叫走，表示了完全的宽容和理解。在这里，海明威展现了自信与宽容之间的联系。《老人与海》的主要篇幅，是描写孤独的老渔夫桑提亚哥，在茫茫大海上和大马林鱼和各种鲨鱼纠缠、搏斗了三天三夜的经历。通过海明威淋漓尽致的描写，我们充分感受到了桑提亚哥与命运作殊死抗争的悲壮与崇高。老人最后拖回家的只是一副十八英尺长的鱼的骨架，骨架上唯一完整的是鱼头和漂亮的鱼尾巴。
从物质上来说，老人搏斗了三天三夜的结果是失败了；但从人的精神、从人的自信自尊，从人勇于和命运作竭尽全力的抗争来说，桑提亚哥取得了胜利。
说到底，人的真正胜利也只能是精神的胜利。人在物质上无论取得多大的成就，都不能赢得我们崇高的敬意。而只有精神和气魄的胜利，才使我们感动，才使我们和追随老人的'孩子一样，为他的悲壮落泪。
看了几个晚上，我终于把海明威的中篇小说——《老人与海》看了一遍。故事里的每一个人物都令我感触很深。
这个故事写了古巴的老渔夫圣地亚哥在连续八十四天没钓到鱼的情况下，终于钓起了一条大马林鱼。但这条鱼实在太大了，它把老渔夫圣地亚哥的小船在海上拖了三天三夜才筋疲力尽，这时圣地亚哥就用鱼叉把这条鱼杀死了，绑在小船的一边。但在归程中，一再遭到鲨鱼的袭击。最后回港时，只剩下鱼头鱼尾和一条脊骨了。
首先是那个老渔夫，他有一种永不言败的精神。在钓起大马林鱼的那几天，那条顽固的鱼拉着圣地亚哥跑来跑去，尽管他的左手一再抽筋，可为了自己的生活，他使劲的拽住鱼竿；尽管他的手被鱼线划出一道道血痕，但他还是永不言败，继续坚持着；尽管他辛苦钓起的鱼就要被鲨鱼吃了个干净，他还是顽强地跟鲨鱼们斗智斗勇；尽管他八十多天没有收获，可他还是天天拥有着希望与自信：一定可以钓起一些鱼的！我十分敬佩这个老渔夫。*常我们遇到一些小困难就叫苦连天。可他从来就没有说过自己失败了，要放弃这个事业了，他从来没有说过他再也不愿意当渔夫了，他只是一直坚持着，坚持着……
其次是那一条鱼，虽然它一不小心上了钩，可它就是不愿意承认自己输了。它拖着老渔夫走了三天三夜。你不知道这三天三夜是有多累的，也许它刚拖了半天不到就已经累了，可生的希望还是有的，它告诉自己，永不言败！
我还非常喜欢那个小男孩，他不会因为老渔夫什么都没有、一事无成，就去嘲笑他、讥讽他。而是快快乐乐地和老渔夫做着无话不谈的好朋友。他有一颗金子般的心！
我觉得我也很需要永不言败的精神。这次的数学期末考试，我因为粗心大意，丢了许多许多的分。当时我就觉得很沮丧，我已经是第二次考砸了，就觉得自己好像很没用。后来我看了一个故事，就是说，爱迪生发明灯泡的时候，用了一千多种材料才找到一种很好用的。每一次失败了的时候，他只是轻描谈写地说：“我并没有失败，我只是又找到了一种行不通的材料而已。”比起爱迪生和老渔夫，我那点小困难并不算什么，只要把粗心大意这个坏毛病改了就好了，只要我学会永不言败就一定能成功！
永不言败，这就是《老人与海》告诉我们的。
这是一部令人深思的著作。作者海明威以不同于凡人的笔触，创作了这样一个看似简单却内涵丰富的作品。
故事的开篇便不同寻常，一改海明威作品往昔那宏大壮观的场景，也没有烽火硝烟的战争。只是一个小渔村。作者重点刻画的人物是一个叫桑提亚哥的渔夫。在八十四天没有打到鱼后，周围的人对他充满善意的嘲讽，都认为老人再也打不到鱼了。
但第二天，老人独自出海了。这次，他的鱼钩成功地进入了一条大马林鱼的脏腑。它太大了，竟反客为主，拉着渔船在海上四入游荡。而老人只是紧紧地握着鱼线，在渔船上安然若素，没有一丝慌张。在周旋了几天之后，终于将大鱼杀死，并系在船边。
读到这一段时，我为老人的勇敢所动容。试想，如果老人是“手拿鱼叉吼叫着向大鱼刺去”，那样血腥的场面，只会让人感觉到他的虚弱，甚至是矫情。而海明威笔下的老人截然不同。他表情安静，孤身一人，但似乎一切都在他的掌握之中。我不禁为他的勇气和信心折服。
小说的后面部分是个悲剧。在返回时，鱼的血腥引来了许多鲨鱼，它们不断撕咬大鱼的肉。老人奋起抗争，用鱼叉、木棍、铁棒击退凶猛的鲨鱼。不幸的是，老人用尽全力，大马林鱼还是被撕咬得只剩下一副巨大的骨架。老人筋疲力尽地回到家，安然睡去。而游客却认为那只是普通的鱼骨，无不为老人可惜。
也许，对于那些急功*利的人来说，这副鱼骨会令他们伤心欲绝。可其中老人的故事谁又了解呢？书中有一句堪称经典的文字：一个人，可以被消灭，但不可以被打败。
是啊，老人曾遭了多少困难：几日的周旋他没有了食物，只能生吞鱼肉，手掌也在对付鲨鱼时划破。但老人始终没有向大马林鱼、鲨鱼屈服，没有向大海屈服。其实老人是个胜利者，那鱼骨便是见证。即使现实残酷，但在困难面前，从不屈服，不低头，奋勇反击，他就已经赢了。
老人睡去，他梦到了少年时见过的雄狮，这无疑是个积极的信号，我愿相信，老人的明天会更加美好。
让我们一同来回味那句话：一个人，可以被消灭，但绝对不可以被打败。
教师点评：老渔夫桑提亚哥以他的勇气和自信征服了亿万读者，小作者从桑提亚哥的精神方面入手，阐释了人生途中，精神之于人的宝贵。语言简洁，论述深刻，发人深省。
我轻轻合上《老人与海》这本书，心中感慨万千。老人与海这本书讲的是一位叫圣地亚哥的老渔夫，连续八十四天没有钓到一条鱼，被同行看成失败者，但他仍不放弃。坚持出海，最后在85天钓到一条大马林鱼。但是这条大马林鱼实在太大了，他花了两天两夜才将其杀死。但在返航的过程中，又遇上了许多鲨鱼。最终，大马林鱼被鲨鱼吃光，只剩下了一副鱼骨架。老渔夫只能带着一副鱼骨架回家。
这是一本古典式的悲剧小说，也是一部英雄主义的交响曲。文中的老渔夫就是一位硬汉。即使厄运降临，他依旧怀着信心出海。面对大海，面对大自然的力量，他依然不退缩，勇敢地与其斗争。老人的每一个胜利都付出了巨大的代价，最后还遭遇了无可挽救的失败。但从另一种意义上来说，老人又是一位胜利者，他不向命运屈服，遇到任何困难都不退缩，凭借自己的勇气和智慧进行抗争，总的来说来，他是一个胜利的失败者，一个虽败犹荣的英雄。
老人出海，不远千里难道只是为了一条鱼吗？其实人的真正胜利并不在于物质上取得了多大的成就，而是在于他的精神，只有精神上获得了胜利，才让人尊敬和敬佩。虽然从世俗的眼光来看，没有将大马林鱼完整带回来的老渔夫并不是胜利者，但我在眼中，老渔夫没有向大自然妥协，没有向大马林鱼妥协，更没有向鲨鱼妥协，面对一次次的挑战，他始终都怀有信心和勇气，所以他才是真正的胜利者，他的精神更让我敬佩。
在日常生活中，我们常常会遇到一些挫折和失败，从而感到失落和失去自信，但这本书中，我感觉到生活中的那些事与老渔夫面对的一切相比，简直不值一提。我们有着更加年轻的和更加健康的体魄。不用为生活而烦恼，每天回家都可以吃到父母准备好的饭菜，我们更不用为生活而奔波忙碌，我们还有身边的亲人朋友的关怀。而老渔夫呢？他年纪又大还是孤身人，需要为生存而努力，但他却从来没有放弃过，总是满怀着信心，即使生活艰辛，他依然对生活怀满信心和热情。
是啊，谁的人生没有失败过呢？那个时候，我们要做的就是站起来，勇敢的去面对他，即便最后失败了，但我们的精神是不可战胜的，我们要永不言败，走向成功！
主人公是个靠一条小船打鱼为生的孤独老人。整整84天，他在海上的漂泊一无所获，人们说他已经“厄运缠身”了，在连续四十天一无所获时，连唯一一个陪着他的男孩也离开他去别处寻找机会了。最后他鼓起勇气航行到很远的地方，费尽力气钓到一条很大很大的鱼，却在返航的路上遭遇了一条一条偷鱼肉的鲨鱼，经过和鲨鱼的殊死搏斗老人*安归来，但是大鱼却被蚕食得仅剩白白的骨架。
这样一本薄薄的书我读了很久，每次想拿起书来读一小段都发现实在读不下去。我有疑惑，为什么老人不能在钓到大鱼时理智点，判断一下自己能否把这条大鱼完完整整带回去，或者只把一部分鱼肉割下来装在船上，果断放弃一部分带不走的鱼肉，而不是把整条鱼拖在小船后面，任凭鲜血从大鱼的伤口上流出来，在小船后面留下一道鲜美诱人的踪迹，招来一条条鲨鱼和源源不断的麻烦。是他太贪心了，当他终于钓到一条大鱼的时候他就只想完完整整地占有它，而完全没有考虑实际的情况是自己孤身一人，并且已经不再年轻，双手用力太猛时会不受控制地开始抽筋，另外他的小船也过于单薄，小小风浪就能把它掀翻。这是一个贪欲大过实力的老人，再去看他为了钓到大鱼做的种种努力，都有一点点无奈，想去提醒他或者警告他。他不是一个聪明的老人，看他在大海上拼尽全力作无畏的挣扎我又着急又没有办法。
有很多事情不能用上帝视角去解读它，应该原谅那时那刻人的种种局限性，即使这种局限性有可能通过读书、深入的交谈和思考被打破，接着人会被困在一个更大的局限性里。就像小说中的老人，处在整整84天一无所获的处境中，终于钓到一条大鱼他没法理智权衡自己的力量与带这条鱼回家的难度，他能思考的事情就是尽力而为。
小说讲了一个挣扎奋斗最后一无所获的故事，主人公是面对困难不低头、不妥协、不退让的老人，他既不聪明也没有力量。总会碰到一段时间或者一件事情不得后退，只能前进，无法看透它的本质，找到聪明化解的办法，只能见招拆招地过，老人的故事算是一种信念的支持吧。
——《老人与海》读后感1000字(10)份
“人可以被毁灭，但不能被打败。”
《老人与海》故事背景是在二十世纪中叶的古巴。一位名叫桑地亚哥的风烛残年的老渔夫，一连八十四天都没有钓到一条鱼，但他仍不肯认输，终于在第八十五天钓到一条身长十八英尺，体重一千五百磅的大马林鱼。没有水，没有食物，没有武器，没有助手，经过两天两夜之后，他终于杀死大鱼，把它拴在船边，但又有许多鲨鱼立刻前来抢夺他的战利品，他不得不与它们奋力搏斗。最终，老人筋疲力竭地拖回一副鱼骨头。老渔夫虽然老迈，且运气不佳，未能收获，但他从未屈服，从未放弃。无论经历怎样的失落与挫折，桑地亚哥始终保持着战斗的热情，他的体力可以被消磨殆尽，他的战利品可以被抢夺一空，但他的精神之火仍旧在熊熊燃烧，他的意志永远不会被打败。
人生不如意事十之八九，在波涛汹涌的生活大海里，我们时常会遇到风浪与暗礁，坎坷如影随形，有风有雨是常态。在航行路上，我们往往以为克服眼前的困难就可以松口气，却没想到新的困难接踵而至；好不容易消化了昨天的烦恼，却没想到新的烦恼第二天迎面赶来。苦苦追寻了许久，也许换来的是颗粒无收；努力坚持终于有所收获，又难免不会遇到抢夺战利品的“鲨鱼”......我们总会遇到大大小小的低谷。但每个人对此做出的应对和选择又有所不同，有人怨天尤人，备受打击，以至于浑浑噩噩，陷入迷茫无法自拔；有人却坦然笑之，不动声色，积极调整状态。尼采曾经说过：
“但凡不能杀死你的，最终都会使你更强大。”我们每个人并没有什么生理上的不同，都是渺小的，脆弱的，没有人天生便是无往不利的，也没有真正无畏无惧的人。一个真正的强者与其他人的区别就在于面对困难与厄运是否能够不逃避不妥协，迎难而上，直面人生。书中，桑地亚哥多次在睡梦中梦到狮子，这个力量的象征给了他无畏的勇气，也是整篇故事中桑地亚哥的完美写照。这个世界上的事，有许多是你逃也逃不掉，躲也躲不过的，这就需要面对，极其勇敢的掀开迷雾冲上去。沉默寡言，默默蓄力，永不言弃，这样无论被击倒多少次，总有从头再来的气魄，终将实现成功与救赎。
我们总会遭遇苦难，经历煎熬，在长夜跋涉千山万水，才能到达心中的梦与远方。过程也许会很痛苦，道路可能会很曲折，但只要不放弃希望，顽强拼搏，终将拨云见日，柳暗花明。
“一个人可以被毁灭，但是不可以被打败。”对个人来说，勇敢是一种精神；对一个民族来说，勇敢更是一种力量。
如果你是一位渔夫，却连续八十四天没有打到任何一条鱼，你还会选择继续吗？如果你是一位渔夫，在海上钓住了一条比自己的渔船还要大许多的大马林鱼，你会与它殊死拼搏连天两夜吗？如果你是一位渔夫，当你历尽千辛万苦捕获的鱼被鲨鱼袭击，最终只剩下了一副骨架时，你还会重新燃起生的希望吗？
《老人与海》这本书中其实并没有什么华丽的语言来衬托人物的性格特点，也没有什么气势磅礴的语句来渲染气氛，只简简单单的*铺直叙，却足以打动人心，给人一种慷慨激昂的力量。这个其貌不扬的老人看似普通，却又不同于常人，他拥有超越常人的毅力和令人叹为观止的勇气，尽管他心知肚明，他所要面临的对手比他强大，但他还是决定放手一搏，勇敢地战斗下去。
拜读了美国大作家海明威所写的《老人与海》后，我发现文中的圣地亚哥就是这样一个坚强、勇敢、乐观的老人。有人说，海明威先生的作品有两个永恒的主题：勇气和死亡。在这部小说的主人公身上，我看到了两个主题的纵横交错。的确，拥有勇气，你才会有面对一切困难都会前行的动力，没有了勇气，就像没有了帆随波逐流的航船。
如今的我们，是否正缺失勇敢这样的品质。前些天在网上看到了一个新闻，一位女士扶起了摔倒的老人，却被老人冤枉是撞人者，通过翻看录像才得知是被冤枉的。这件事过去之后，有人问这位女士：“你以后还会再像这样去扶起摔倒的老人吗？”她沉默了一会才答：“我依然还会去扶，因为这是做人的基本道德。”在现在这个社会中，敢于扶起摔倒的老人其实也是一种勇敢。这些敢于扶起老人的好心人拥有一种正义的勇气，他们敢于担当，敢于做那些懦弱之人不敢去做的事情。现在的社会缺失道德，缺乏正义的勇敢。而他们，拥有这种勇敢，也给这个社会增添了温暖，给我们做出了榜样。
勇敢这种品质，不仅影响着个人，还影响着整个民族。XX年前，日寇侵略中国，中国人民在装备和武器远远抵不上侵略者的情况下，依然挺起胸膛，不畏牺牲，拿起一切武器和侵略者斗争。他们知道，一旦上了战场，就可能是九死一生，就可能是一去不复返，再也见不到自己的亲人。但是，他们表现得异常勇敢，他们在战场上浴血奋战，奋勇杀敌，为了祖国、为了民族、为了自己的家园和亲人，他们用枪击毙了一个个的.敌人，用刀砍杀了一个个的侵略者，不屈不挠、义无反顾。这种勇敢，这种敢于在生死之间徘徊的勇敢，因为是一种正义的勇敢，中国人民才打败了实力强大的日本军队。每个人的勇敢精神换取来了整个民族的胜利。
我以为，敢于和大鱼殊死搏斗是一种勇敢；敢于为祖国拿起武器战斗是一种勇敢。而那些在我们周围，放弃优越的生活去参军也是一种勇敢；敢于扶起摔倒的老人更是一种勇敢，让这些勇敢激励我们，温暖我们，让我们不再感到冰冷和消沉。
轻轻合上书《老人与海》，不禁回忆起书中的情节。总有一句话，走不开，赶不走。“即使一个人被消灭了，也不应该被打败。人从来不是为失败而生的。”
《老人与海》讲述的是圣地亚哥在84天没有抓到任何鱼的情况下独自抓到了一条大马林鱼，最终在与这条大马林鱼僵持了三天后成功抓到了这条大马林鱼。但是大自然总喜欢和人开玩笑吧？大马林鱼吸引鲨鱼。圣地亚哥与鲨鱼搏斗至死，最终战胜了鲨鱼。然而，那条大马林鱼被鲨鱼吃光了，只剩下一副光秃秃的骨架和一处伤口被拖回家。但是圣地亚哥也是被大家欣赏的。
“即使一个人被消灭了，也不应该被打败。人从来不是为失败而生的。”这句话是圣地亚哥精神的体现。我想他一定是个顶天立地的老人。他一定不要害怕任何挑战或困难。他相信他会成功。圣地亚哥一个人在海上的时候，他很孤独。他没有助手，也没有可以交谈的人。他正遭**神折磨。圣地亚哥从来没有放弃过，也从来没有想过放弃，当他的手抽筋，手被割伤，肩膀被钓鱼擦伤，和鲨鱼搏斗，遭受身体上的折磨。你会在圣地亚哥的情况下放弃吗？你想过放弃吗？如果是我，我想我会放弃。
圣地亚哥的毅力、勇气和毅力精神是我们的青少年今天所缺乏的。当我们遇到困难时，第一反应是什么？抱怨，放弃还是独立思考？遇到800米运动测试，我们的第一反应是什么？抱怨，处理事情，还是粘牙？当我们遇到体力劳动时，第一反应是什么？抱怨，辩解还是尽力？
“不经历风雨，就长不出大树，就没脾气，炼钢难。”“发明之王”爱迪生花了整整十年的时间研发电池，其间屡遭失败，但他坚持咬牙切齿，经过大约5万次实验终于成功。十年说是长是短，可又有几个人能坚持下去呢？华，中国著名的数学家，没有文凭，也没有导师，但他可以成功。为什么？正是因为他的毅力，他在床上躺了三个月，翻了书。
这些例子告诉我们，不管你是谁，做什么，坚持不懈是成功的基础。你看，圣地亚哥虽然老了，但最终还是打败了巨型马林鱼。他不是靠助手，而是靠自己的双手，力量和意志。书中还有一个情节让我印象深刻。圣地亚哥和一个大个子黑人摔跤。48小时内，他们不会让任何人。最后，圣地亚哥尽最大努力把大黑人的手按在桌子上。面对强大的对手，圣地亚哥依然不服输，坚持到最后，奋勇作战，终于成功。比起圣地亚哥，我们有更多的未知和可能吗，为什么要放弃？你为什么不尽力呢？即使伤痕累累，也无愧于自己，无愧于青春，无愧于生命！
让我们在青春的美好岁月里尽自己最大的努力，即使伤痕累累，也不会退缩，因为“一个人即使被毁灭，也不应该被打败，他从来不是为失败而生的”。
老人桑提亚歌已经一连84天都没有捕到一条鱼了。别的渔夫都认为他“倒了血霉”，都把他看成失败者。老人看起来很消瘦很憔悴，手上留有很深的伤疤。他没有买吃的东西，靠小男孩曼诺林给他送来。靠大海为生很难，可是老人没有半点畏惧孤独一人与大海斗争着，天天坚持出海。终于，在第85天，老人钓到了一条身长18英尺，体重1500磅的大马林鱼。大鱼拖着船往大海深处游走，但老人依然死拉者不放。即使没有食物，没有武器，没有助手，而且左手又抽筋，他也丝毫不灰心，依旧充满着奋斗的精神。老人的手背，眼皮都流血了，手抽筋，背脊僵硬，双眼眩晕。三天两夜后，他终于杀死了大鱼，并把它栓在船边。
大鱼死了，但流出来的鲜血引来了一群鲨鱼。筋疲力尽的老人不得不再次振作精神与鲨鱼展开了激烈的搏斗。老人用尽了一切手段来反击。鱼叉被鲨鱼带走了，他用小刀绑在浆把上乱扎；刀子折断了，他用短棍朝它们的头上打去；短棍也丢掉了，他把舵把从舵上拽掉，用它去打……
战斗结束了，鱼肉都被咬去了坚持到最后，筋疲力尽的老人只拖回了一副鱼骨头。但是什么也无法摧残他的英勇意志，一副鱼骨架足以让所有的人赞叹不已！因为他得到了精神上的胜利。再老人奋斗的过程中，我们所看到的是一个顶天立地的大丈夫！
《老人与海》是一部悲剧小说，但老渔夫在同样象征着厄运的鲨鱼面前，那不向命运屈服的精神，永远自强、自信的乐观精神，给这本书灰暗的主题抹上了几分明亮的色彩。
老人的自信与乐观首先体现在与大马林鱼的搏斗中。当老人的船被大马林鱼拉着向远处飘去的时候，老人意识到了危险，但却没有想过要放弃，当鱼肉被抢去的时候，老人仍然表现出了他的主义精神。
当然，老人乐观的精神还体现在他的梦想中。他总是在失败的时候梦见小时侯在非洲海滩上见到的狮子。海滩上玩耍的狮子，显示出了强壮、力量与快乐，老人胜利归来，什么也没有，只有一副鱼骨架。他很累了，他睡去了，他仍梦见了狮子。狮子代表了旺盛的生命力和青春，只要梦见狮子就还有希望，老人始终乐观地坚信这一点。
这就是《老人与海》。老人没有被任何困难压服，他尽自己最大的努力与生活中的磨难做不屈不挠的斗争。他说：“一个人并不是生来就要给打败的，你可以消灭他，却不能打败他。”这种永不言败的精神感动并激励着我们每个人。
“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在闪闪发光——超越极限！”重读《老人与海》，我的心灵受到极大震动。它让我开始思索，我们每个人应该过一种什么样的人生，到底经历过什么样的生命才有价值。
《老人与海》讲述的是一个被渔夫们认为是“倒了血霉”的老人圣地亚哥，连续八十四天没有捕捉到一条鱼甚至只是一条小鱼，全镇上的渔夫无不取笑他。老人老了，已经不再像当年一样强健有力，当他看到那些满载而归的少年像英雄一样在欢呼的人群之中的时候，他只能独在角落里落寞的回忆着：在二十年前，他也……也许，就是因为那些遗忘了他的人们，也许，是因为当年的骄傲与荣耀。为了钓到一条前所未有的大鱼，为了证明自己还依然宝刀未老，为了证明自己依然是之前的冠军圣地亚哥。终于，第八十五天，他坚定地驶向远方。
他在更加遥远的海面上静静地等待着，几个小时过去了，海底传来了铁丝撞击船舷的声音，是条大鱼！＂我跟你奉陪到死。＂老人说。此时生命不是筹码，而是一种抗衡。老人在对付鱼的同时，他还要和自己的身体抗争。伤痛、寒冷、饥饿、晕眩的感觉不断袭来，可是他都顽强地挺了过来。在每一次勇气、毅力和坚韧的较量中，老人都凭着自己的经验与智慧苦苦支撑着，白天过去了，晚上也过去了，大鱼依然从容的拽着老人。
为什么他不放弃？毕竟这条鱼太过于强大，毕竟出海的距离已经远远超出了之前的范围。舍不得这条大鱼吗？舍不得这份荣耀吗？舍不得的也许是这八十多天以来的唯一希望！老人依然不倦的坚持着。
终于，老人胜利了，他打败了那一条大马林鱼，他把他坚持的成果绑在了他的船舷上，可是，他的幸运女神好像又离开了，就好像在敲错了门之后的匆匆别离。当鱼殷红的血在海水中弥漫的时候，海中的霸主鲨鱼出现了，“跟他们斗”“我要跟他们斗到底”，老人用尽了所有的手段，而鲨鱼也进了又退，退了又进，不知过去了多久，老人又回到了那个熟悉的港湾，可惜他的努力的成就却只剩下一具庞大的骨架，但也正是这具骨架，向人们诉说了老人的坚持与勇敢。
就像这篇文章中所说的，人不是为了失败而生的，一个人可以被毁灭，但是不可以被打败，老人一直在海面上坚持着，没有向那条大马林鱼，更没有向那些鲨鱼妥协与认输。正如贝多芬所说，我可以被摧毁，但我不可以被征服。
人性是强悍的，正是因为有了老人这样的人一次又一次地向限度挑战，超越它们，这个限度才一次次被超越，再一次次把更大的挑战摆在了我们面前。正是因为如此，像老渔夫圣地亚哥这样的英雄，不管他们的挑战是成功还是失败，都是永远值得我们敬重的。
因为，他带给我们了的是人类最永恒的信念与精神！
人生本来就是一种无止境的追求。它的道路漫长、艰难，并且充满坎坷，但只要自己勇敢顽强地以一颗自信的心去迎接挑战，我们每个人都将永远是一个真正的胜利者！
作者是欧内斯特·米勒尔·海明威，他是美国小说家。海明威出生于美国伊利诺伊州芝加哥市郊区的奥克帕克，晚年在爱达荷州凯彻姆的家中自杀身亡。海明威代表作有《老人与海》、《太阳照样升起》、《永别了，武器》、《丧钟为谁而鸣》等，凭借《老人与海》获得1953年普利策奖及1954年诺贝尔文学奖。海明威被誉为美利坚民族的精神丰碑，并且是“新闻体”小说的创始人，他的笔锋一向以“文坛硬汉”着称。海明威的写作风格以简洁着称，对美国文学及20世纪文学的发展有极深远的影响。
《老人与海》的主要内容是：老渔夫圣地亚哥在海上连续84天没有捕到鱼。起初，有一个叫曼诺林的男孩跟他一道出海，可是过了40天还没有钓到鱼，孩子就被父母安排到另一条船上去了，因为他们认为孩子跟着老头不会交好运。第85天，老头儿一清早就把船划出很远，他出乎意料地钓到了一条比船还大的马林鱼。老头儿和这条鱼周旋了两天，终于叉中了它。但受伤的鱼在海上留下了一道腥踪，引来无数鲨鱼的争抢，老人奋力与鲨鱼搏斗，但回到海港时，马林鱼只剩下一副巨大的骨架，老人也精疲力尽地一头栽倒在陆地上。孩子来看老头儿，他认为圣地亚哥没有被打败。那天下午，圣地亚哥在茅棚中睡着了，梦中他见到了狮子。“一个人并不是生来要被打败的，你尽可以把他消灭掉，可就是打不败他。”
我很佩服老人这种永不言败，面对困难毫不退缩的精神，而我正缺少这种精神与挑战困难的勇气。这本书的思想感情是：“一个人并不是生来要被打败的，你尽可以把他消灭掉，可就是打不败他。”这是圣地亚哥的生活信念，也是《老人与海》中作者要表明的思想。通过圣地亚哥的形象，作者热情地赞颂了人类面对艰难困苦时所显示的坚不可摧的精神力量。孩子准备和老人再度出海，他要学会老人的一切“本领”，这象征着人类这种“打不败”的精神将代代相传。
当我们读到在大海中苦苦鏖战的老人和拼死也要活口的鱼类的时候，我们愿意相信这就是活着之所以应该活着的价值，证明自身存在的价值，对于年轻人以及中年人来说更应该多从这个角度来理会本书的内涵，奋斗可能没有结果，可能一切都会是一场空空的“骨架”，但是，有一点我们必须承认，奋斗的过程是何其令人赞赏？正像某书评作家解读《西游记》中的孙悟空一样，读者最喜欢的还是西行中的孙行者，而不是已经修成正果的斗战胜佛。
在今后的学*中，会有许许多多的困难与挫折等着我们，只有像那位老人那样尽自己最大的努力克服困难，遇到困难锲而不舍、永不言败才能闯过这些暗礁险滩，战胜困难这只拦路虎，创造美好的明天。
《老人与海》故事的主人公是一位圣地亚哥的老渔夫，这位风烛残年的渔夫一连八十四天都没有钓到一条鱼，就连一起出海的小孩马诺林也去了别的船上。但他仍然不肯认输，终于在第八十五天钓到一条身长十八尺，体重一千五百磅的大马林鱼。经过两天两夜的奋战，他终于杀死大鱼，但许多小鲨鱼前来抢夺战利品。他一一地杀死它们，到最后只剩下一支折断的舵作为武器。最终，老人筋疲力尽，却只拖回了一副残破的鱼骨头而已。
细细品读，我发现这字里行间，都流露出一种精神：即使一个人已经在绝境之中了，但也不要放弃，越是艰难，就越是要迎刃而上。如果你做到了这些，那么在那个时候，你会迸发出一种神奇的力量，令你孕育出那不可思议的奇迹。就算那股力量耗尽了，最起码也得到了精神上的胜利。而这种精神，也让我改变了自己人生的轨道。
第一次考试，象征着我即将正式迈进知识的门槛，可我的成绩却并不理想，甚至可以称之为糟糕。父母的严格要求，已然成为了我的负担。考试的失利，令我背负上了沉重的压力，父母的期望像丝一样紧紧包裹着我。“好难过，这就是成长吗？这就是我的未来吗？”我喃喃而摇头。空旷的房间，灯光为其打上暗黄的底色。在一个昏暗的角落，隐约蜷缩着一个女孩儿。走*看，眼底是满满的忧伤，与不属于这个年纪的成熟，稚嫩的脸庞上是憔悴，那个阳光稚气的女孩儿仿佛已不复存在，取而代之的是忧郁的我。“只是不适应而已……”我自我安慰着，却依旧茫然地盯着天花板，眼里是彷徨，以及对未来深深的恐惧。情绪渐渐好转，可再一次到来的试卷，狠狠撕裂了，我还未完全愈合的伤口，把我从自己创造的那虚无飘渺的梦境中拉了出来，逼迫我面对这残酷的现实。
就这样恍恍惚惚得过了几天，这本书被朋友送到了我的手上。起初只是心不在焉地看了几眼，可在不经意间看了几眼后，便感到妙趣横生，反复思考这其中所蕴含的人生哲理。书本中，老人不服输的硬汉精神令我感到由衷的佩服，敬意油然而生，与此同时，我也感到了前所未有的羞愧：面对没有水、没有食物、身体疲惫的困境下，老人也不放弃，继续抗争着。而我仅仅是两次考试失利，就整日怨天尤人，顾影自怜，不懂得找出失败的原因，不懂得要努力去改变，才能得到胜利。“多简单的道理呀。”我久久地凝视着这本书，轻笑出声。
这本书让我那已经偏离航线的小船，重新回到了原来的地方。
“一个人并不是生来就要被打败的,你尽可以消灭他，可就是不能打败他。”
——题记
“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。
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：“人不是为失败而生的，一个人可以被毁灭，但不可以被打败。”这就是《老人与海》想揭示的哲理。不可否认，只要是人就都会有自身的局限。当一个人承认了这个局限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和与鲨鱼群搏斗的过程中充分地体现出来了。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？老渔夫就是有勇气有信心敢于挑战自身局限的胜利者。从世俗眼光和功利思想的角度看，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空骨架子回到了岸上，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妥协，没有向大马林鱼屈服，更没有向鲨鱼群投降。就如音乐大师贝多芬所说“我可以被摧毁，但我不能被征服。”
小说中既没有跌宕起伏的故事情节，也没有宏伟大气的间架结构；既没有针锋相对的矛盾冲突，也没有缠绵悱恻的爱情传说，有的只是一位老渔夫、一条大马林鱼和一个深邃的大海，仅此而已。那么是什么神奇的力量使《老人与海》成为经久不衰、脍炙人口的世界文学名著？它凭什么使海明威能获得诺贝尔文学奖？海尔集团董事长张瑞敏先生说得好，“把简单的事情做好就是不简单，把*凡的事情做好就是不*凡。”按照张先生的逻辑，我想说，把通俗的题材写好就是不通俗；把普通的形象塑造好就是不普通。纵观全篇小说，作者海明威始终是用一种写实的手法，简洁明快的文笔，把叙事的准确性与简洁性统一起来，成功地塑造了一个普通、*凡而又坚强、宽厚、仁慈、充满爱心的“硬汉子”的老渔夫的形象，这无疑是世界文学史上的一个奇迹。下面笔者就粗浅地来分析主人公桑提阿果的形象。
老人是乐观的，他不会因为那条被鲨鱼吞掉的大鱼而一蹶不振。他还会兑现他的诺言吧——念几百遍的圣经。但愿他心中的**保佑他，“卖”给他无论多大代价都要“买”回的.好运。老人的故事还会继续么，他与他海洋中的兄弟们还会*静的生活么。祝福他，会的吧。
而人性是强悍的，但人类本身有自己的限度，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坚毅和自信。
花了几天的时间读了海明威的中篇小说《老人与海》，虽然同样是被海明威穿针引线般的写作手法震撼，被主人公坚强、睿智的精神折服，但心里的感悟却是不一样的。应该是过了年轻气盛的年纪，经历了生活的磕磕绊绊以后，与小说的作者及小说的主人公有了心灵上的共振。
首先在读小说的开头部分，身体、心灵都被海明威先生带入一种田园生活的慢节奏，虽然小说开场就在老人与小孩的对话中交代了老人生活不易——孤苦一人、生活拮据（连喝杯咖啡的钱都没有）、事业不顺（已经84天没有捕到一条鱼）。但是我们仍能感受到老人的善良、乐观、和蔼、温暖、*静。相比我们现在的生活，少了匆忙疲惫，少了人情世故，少了尔虞我诈，少了形形色色的欺骗虚伪，少了对物质生活的竭尽追求。一杯记在账上的咖啡，一个少年知己。即使是别的渔夫对老人际遇的同情，年轻人善意的玩笑，都能感受到老人的生活恬静释然。
随着老人第85天的出海，作者把故事的发展、高潮放在了浩瀚的大海上。一个老人驾着一艘小船行驶在一望无际的海面，凭着对自己技术、勇气、智慧的信心，相信大海会给予自己公*的回馈。这不正像生活中的我们吗？我们长大以后驶向了属于我们的“大海”，在社会这个海洋中捕捞梦想，捕捞自己存在的价值。在这个过程中我们也像老人一样，有过辉煌的的战绩、有过势均力敌的对手、有过爱我们的家人、有过受人尊重的时刻。
但这一切总会过去，就像人总会老去一样。当一切都成为过往，当我们不再光彩夺目、当我们不再是别人眼中的传奇、当我们最爱的人离我们而去、当我们在社会面前束手无策、我们能不能向老人一样忍耐、*静、坚强、善良的面对呢？
老人与大马林鱼及鲨鱼的搏斗场面写的惊险刺激，手心始终为老人捏着一把汗，虽然已经知道了结局，还是想一口气读下去，方才痛快。作者一系列细腻的心里描写把在困难面前的老人的坚韧刻画的淋漓尽致。老人发现目标的喜悦、斗争中的疲倦、精疲力竭中的智慧、身体伤痛中与绝望中的乐观、对希望最后的坚持、对对手的尊敬、无奈中的*静、甚至是放弃中的淡定，都让我们看到一个打不败的英雄老渔夫。
我觉得《老人与海》之所以伟大，是因为渔夫圣地亚哥对生命的态度：虽然老人时不时的怀念曾经的辉煌，对失去的机会懊悔。但是，从来没有陷在过往的世界里。*静、勇敢、乐观、善良、智慧的对待每一天、每一个人、每一个机会。尽自己最大的努力面对生活，不冒进，不退缩。即使努力以后失败了，也没什么大不了，睡一觉喝一杯咖啡又是一个出海的好日子。
读了《老人与海》后，我对小说的认识仅仅停留在老人的乐观顽强的态度上，再读《老人与海》，便认为老人是个具有完事人格的硬汉，可当我三读《老人与海》后，我才渐渐体出老人那真正的可贵的气概。
老人在书中虽然一直说“我没得选”，但其实他还有好几次选择的权力，他可以因为自己年迈而选择放弃那条大马林鱼，他可以因为自己受伤而选择割断绳子，他可以因为鲨群凶猛而选择弃鱼逃离，可是他都没有这么做，他坚持了下来，尽管对于他那个年龄的能力而言，已经临*甚至深深超出了他的极限。
我们敬仰，敬仰的是什么？在人类漫长的历史中，不论是原古时代，还是当下，人们对于英雄的描述，大体上是一致的，那便是拥有超于常人的勇气与意志，拥有着比常人更高尚的追求。罗曼罗兰说过，一个人是因为他的心灵而伟大的，我想英雄之所以被称为英雄，并也决不因为他们的离奇故事，而是他们高于同时代人的高尚人格。
纵观人类历史，我们如今在自然界中处于最高层，很重要的一点便是几千年来祖先的不断探索，自身的能力到达一个又一个惊人的高度。可是并不是所有的人都拥有那么崇高的精神去探索，大部分人在现有的能力范围内满足地过活，不愿去探索更高一层的力量，而有些人却愿意却触碰极限，通过漫长的艰苦的努力，使人类较其他种族多一点生存下来的优势，通过千年来英雄们的努力，才有了今天的世界。
这些英雄的确值得敬仰，他们在面临困难时那一股不服输的韧劲，正是那强大的意志力支持着身陷绝境的英雄们，绝不放弃。看那些历史上的英雄所面临的处境，想必也会有其他人经历过，可为什么只有那寥寥数人被后人桂予“英雄”称号呢？我认为那些人的能力未必较英雄差之甚远，不同的选择背后反映的是对正义的认知和控制思想改变的意志，一个人，如果对自己所做的事有着清晰的想法和坚定的意志，那么他就很有可能从普通的人中脱颖而出，摘得目标，超越极限。
我觉得人类的极限很像一根皮筋，你需要以极大的力量才能扯断它，把手伸出去，自然，也会出现手被皮筋狠狠地弹回来，在手上留下一道通红的痕迹。老人就很像被皮筋给弹回来的人，可是令人感动的是他面对挫折时的淡然，那一份超脱令读者对老人依然充满信心，相信他一定会再次捕到鱼。
——老人与海读后感高三(10)份
初秋的阳光洒在白纸黑字上，被文字渲染得无比生动。那带着咸腥味的海风、汹涌澎湃的浪潮、澄澈的海水里五彩斑斓的鱼虾和藻类……一点一点，像羊皮卷轴一般在脑海里铺展开来，生动得可感可触，如临其境。
海明威的文字*静、深沉、默然，如同一位岁月沧桑的老人一样充满着睿智哲思。语气*淡却又饱含热情地娓娓道来，向我们叙述着一个简单却又深邃的故事。
细致如油画笔的笔触深浅错落地描绘出主人公anago的形象——瘦削却又硬朗，苍老而又阳光。健康的皮肤上带着皱纹。“那双眼睛乐观而又永不言败，色彩跟大海一样。”画龙须点睛，正是这双眼睛，就像心灵的窗户一样，一下就反映出了这位老人的个性与灵魂。
老人anago自信、勇敢、乐观、执着，在海上，他与矫健的大鱼、凶猛的鲨鱼勇敢地搏斗，尽管最后得到的不过是一副鱼骨，他的心灵却显得极有生动的色彩与尊严的光辉。
“每一天都是个崭新的日子。”他的内心始终充满着阳光和希望，这种心灵的热忱让他的双眸、甚至是整个人都年轻而有朝气。“走运固然不错，不过我宁可保持精确。那样机会来临时，你已经做好了准备。”所谓尽人事以待天命。这句话另一方面也可以当作是命运是我们自己所选择而走下去的。这并不违背。我想命运可以安排我们，但我们是更能左右命运的，我们有能力去抗争。这里不同的只是这两种看法后者是主动，前者则有些被动。虽是殊途同归，心态却有些许微妙的差别，从原则上来讲并无对错，而我却更倾向于主动的抗争，也许毕竟我们是年轻，应该有激昂的心，有主动的意识与冲动的权力——冲动指的是勇气与拼搏的精神。
我喜欢他那句话：“人不是为失败而生的。一个人可以被毁灭，却不能被打败。”anago是个打渔的老者，他一生在风浪里奔波，他的心却还像个孩子——那些风浪把他的灵魂打磨得更加坚强不屈，熠熠生辉，足以去以十倍百倍的热情再与风浪对峙，他便越活越年轻了。这也告诉我们，人生而是为光明希望而奋斗的，若是以消极的心态活下去就已经没有意义，就算在灭顶的灾难面前也不能退缩，哪怕毁灭也是一种光荣。anago用这一句句掷地有声的誓言宣告他的永不言败——风浪可以摧残他的身体，但至少他的心灵不可战胜。他这种坚强让人肃然起敬，他本身也是如此笃信着的。
正是因为他这种笃信，他才把大鱼当成真正的对手，在鱼死前为它做祈祷，从心底称它“了不起”，他决心要战胜它，这是不可更改的、伟大荣耀的决定。这条鱼镇静、强壮、信心十足、无所畏惧。他们之间不单纯是渔人和猎物的关系，而是一种光荣的交手，战场是海，为了光辉的尊严与生存的道路而战。因此，anago尊重这条鱼，就像我尊敬他一样。
他的心真诚而热忱，光明而不屈。他赞美大鱼，而不屑于水母和鲨鱼。鲨鱼是凶暴邪恶的东西，跟着血腥的味道暗中偷袭，anago不惧怕它们，最后用勇气和智慧战胜了它们。而水母，那是虚假的动物，又阴毒，anago看不起它们，他喜欢看海龟吃掉它们，彻底消灭它们。而他同情并喜爱着海龟——他自己也像海龟那样，即使是被宰杀剁成了几块，几小时后心脏仍跳动——他不屈的心脏和手脚都顽强地为生之价值而奋斗不息。
我记得那个反复在anago睡梦中出现的幻象——薄暮中，沙滩上的狮子像小猫一样嬉戏，温馨美好。那狮子毫不凶残，它们温顺而又勇敢。我想这就是anago的世界——一切光明与坚强不屈的精神永恒，一切虚伪与黑暗丑恶的污流不再。
海风好像吹在我耳畔，*在咫尺。anago这虚构的人物因为海明威的妙笔而仿若真真实实存在过，存在在我心中。他的世界也是我所向往追求的。而他为了这一切而拼搏。他的勇者形象烙进了我的脑海，深深地，在绚烂光辉的日暮下成为一座镀金的塑像。
看了很多名著，一直都不敢妄加评论，并不完全因为怯懦，更多的是一种尊敬的心理。因为作为名著其实都有他深刻的一面，在看似*淡的书写里，透出的是仁者见仁，智者见智的东西。这就是为什么传世名著以散文和小说居多的原因，诗歌和评论就因为其鲜明地个性和观点，使其成为时势英雄，最后或者被利用成工具，或者因为时间的推移成为花瓶式的摆设。看榕树下作者“远处飘来一朵云”的评论，“一朵云”的年轻，使她/他看到“冰山在海上移动之所以显得庄严宏伟，是因为它只有八分之一露出水面”，“一朵云”看到的.也只是海明威所写的，露出水面的八分之一，那水下的呢，还有它的八分之七的根基呢。老人桑提亚哥出海挑战大海的时候，那是人类都会引为自豪的象征，勇于挑战和渴望征服浩瀚的大海，渴望和一条真正的鲨鱼面对面的挑战。一条船，一个老人，一片浩瀚的大海。鲨鱼出现了，大海只派了他的小小的鲨鱼出现了，老人和小船，大海派来的小小的鲨鱼，老人是人类的代表，老人眼里是条真正的鲨鱼。于是，老人抖擞精神，和鲨鱼进行着殊死搏斗，一场征服和反征服的搏斗，“大块的鱼肉”和后来的争夺，局部的胜利之后，当老人感觉胜利在握的时候，“鲨鱼忽然……”，老人最后是空着双手，幸运地“凯旋”。
我最初看《老人与海》之后，只感叹了一句：人最终不知道自己需要什么，征服了什么。依然还是这样的感叹，在9.11之后和之前，布什也许从来没看过他故乡的老人，给他的忠告。老人与海的挑战，进行了不屈不饶征服，但是你是不是想过，人是不是在不屈不饶的制造问题，然后再去解决他，到底这世界最后谁征服谁，征服了之后做什么，为什么要征服而不是……中国古代文化的内涵，在与亲和力，而不是征服的力量。海明威参加过美国人的英雄思维，就是强调征服的力量，但是失明后的他，开始思考征服的意义，所以才有老人和海。美国在里的结果，海明威是里的老人，人类的生存意识是海，如果盲目的强调一个生命对另个生命的征服和占有，即使进行着不屈不饶的过程，结果只有海明威所写的，老人空着手回航：“一个人并不是生来要被打败的，你尽可以把他消灭掉，但永远不会打败他。”人如此，其他的生命呢？
人不是为失败而生的，一个人可以被毁灭，但不可以被打败。
轻轻合上这本《老人与海》，不禁思绪万千，我的心早已随着这书飘到那波涛汹涌的大海。这本书，给了我生活的信心和面对生活的勇气；这主人公（圣地亚哥），使我明白了“世上无难事，只怕有心人”。
《老人与海》的故事很简单，写的是老渔夫圣地亚哥在连续84天没捕到鱼的情况下，终于独自钓上了一条大马林鱼，但这鱼实在太大了，把他的小船在海上拖了三天才筋疲力尽，
别他杀死了绑在小船的一边，可想而知，这需要多大勇气和多强的意志啊！但在归程中一再遇到鲨鱼的袭击，于是老人与鲨鱼进行了殊死搏斗，但最后回港时只剩下鱼头鱼尾和一条脊骨。但是他这种坚持不懈，自信的精神难道不值得我们学*吗？虽然老渔夫没有把完整的马林鱼拖回海岸，在别人眼里是失败的，
但是实际上他是成功的。俗语道：不以成败论英雄，他那坚强的意志，勇敢的精神不比英雄的行为逊色，他将成为经历磨难而战无不胜的巨人，值得每个人倡导。
古时的愚公移山，他明知开山绝非易事，也非一朝一夕就可完成，他“知其不可为而为之”，仍坚持带领子孙后代来开山。终于感化天帝，命山神搬走了这几座山。还有“水滴石穿”，“铁杵成针”，“冰冻三尺”等等，不都意味着“有志者，事竞成”吗？
《老人与海》中有句名言：一个人不是生来就要被打败的，你可以被毁灭，但不可以被打败。这不正道出了本文的主题吗？人真是很奇怪的动物，为何有勇气面对死亡，却没有勇气面对失败。失败真的如此可怕吗？人生谁能没有失败？就像人学走路，也得有过摔跤，而且只有经过摔跤，人才能学会走路。失败可以毁灭一个人，也可以造就一个人，有人因为害怕失败不敢追求成功，这就是弱者。在弱者面前，失败是倾覆生活之舟的波涛，波涛越大，他就越容易被吞噬。但我相信每个向往成功的人都不希望自己是弱者。
那么作为一位强者，就不应该面对失败而消沉悲观，句话也衬托出了老渔夫的勇敢意志。在现实生活中，遇到困难是难免的，最重要的是要勇敢面对，有坚持不懈的精神，从失败中吸取教训。回想自己，每当遇到一点点困难就不耐烦，当失败时就好比泻了气的皮球。
《老人与海》中，孤独的老渔夫桑提亚哥已经不仅仅是条硬汉，他身上所体现的精神价值，完全是古希腊悲剧精神的现代回响。在《老人与海》中，海明威终于为他所钟爱的硬汉找到了灵魂，这灵魂就是人类亘古不变的永恒价值。这价值中包括的就是人的自信。桑提亚哥连续出海八十四天了，一条鱼也没捕到。可是，“那双眼睛啊，像海水一样蓝，是愉快的，毫不沮丧的。”原先跟随桑提亚哥出海捕鱼的小孩，
谈到他爸爸把他叫到别的船上去，说道：“他没多大的自信。”“是的。”老头儿说，“可是我们有，你说是不是？”桑提亚哥的自信是绝对自信，是不以环境变化而变化的自信，是不用与他人比较的自信。在桑提亚哥的生存哲学中，即使遭遇到了极点的背运，人也只能自信。
人活着，唯一能确定的必然，就是走向死亡。除此之外，没有任何必然的东西可以依靠。既然人是靠偶然活着的，那么支撑人生存勇气的，就只有自信了。如果丧失了自信，在持续那么多天的背运之后，桑提亚哥还有勇气和毅力出海捕鱼吗？因此人活着就必须自信，不自信是人消费不起的奢侈品。正因为桑提亚哥有着绝对自信，他对小孩被叫走，表示了完全的宽容和理解。在这里，海明威展现了自信与宽容之间的联系。
从物质上来说，老人搏斗了三天三夜的结果是失败了；但从人的精神、从人的自信自尊，从人勇于和命运作竭尽全力的抗争来说，桑提亚哥取得了胜利。
说到底，人的真正胜利也只能是精神的胜利。人在物质上无论取得多大的成就，都不能赢得我们崇高的敬意。而只有精神和气魄的胜利，才使我感动，才使我和追随老人的孩子一样，为他的悲壮落泪
当我看到“老渔夫想：这里离海岸实在太*了，也许在更远的地方会有更大的鱼”时，我不禁有感而发：虽然老渔夫已经捕到了一些鱼，但他并没有安于现状，而是有着更远大的目标。而我们呢？取得了一点点成绩就沾沾自喜，得意忘形，没有奋斗的目标，这怎么会成功呢？“失败是成功之母”，就是这句话，是老渔夫在84次的失败后，在第85次时捕到了大鱼，尝试到了成功的喜悦。
在日常生活中，我们常常会因考试的失败而失落，对自己没有信心；也许会因为朋友的背弃而伤心，自暴自弃。但是，自从我读了《老人与海》后，想想来渔夫，再想想自己，就觉得自己遇到的不是问题。而且我们的手没有老茧，皮肤没有晒出斑点，夏天在家里吹冷气，衣服是父母帮忙洗，每天放学回家就有热腾腾的饭菜摆在桌上。我们实在是没有生活的压力，我们也真的'没有受到过那些可以成为挫折的东西。我们的烦恼、挫折，只能说是少年时代的那小小的不满意而已。我们暂时还没有要为生活而奔劳，也就不知道生活的艰难，也就将自己那点小小的不满意当作挫折，而且好像还不得了了一样。我们不了解，在社会中，有许多人像那个老渔夫一样，艰难的活着，他们从来没有放弃过。那些农民工、小贩、修补匠……都是在艰苦的环境下活着。我们不应该歧视他们，我们城市的建设，是依靠他们那坚实的臂膀挑着一担担的砖石垒。每个人都是社会生活中不可缺少的一部分，我们要尊敬他们、也学*他们，他们就是《老人与海》的一种现实演义，他们也是那么坚强，对生活充满了热爱。
同学们，人生谁没有失败过，最重要的是在失败过后重新勇敢的站起来，积极的去面对，去寻找失败的根本原因，并改正。“人生能有几回搏”，我们要全力以赴，以全心的面貌去挑战，坚信成功将不再遥远。
“人不是为失败而生的，一个人可以被毁灭，但不可以被打败。”当我们遇到困难而灰心丧气时，一定要坚持，古人云：山穷水尽疑无路，柳暗花明又一村，我们要满怀信心的去迎接挑战。因为我相信成功永远属于我们自己！
我坐在窗边的藤椅上，伴随着苦涩的月光，重拾旧的海蓝封面书，再次品味圣地亚哥与厄运的斗争，与大自然的感人斗争，再次体验海明威塑造的“硬汉性格” 。
每当我再次沿着方块字探索老人的艰难生活时，我的心似乎充满了巨大的波浪。”他身上的'一切都很古老。除了那双眼睛，它们像海水一样蓝，快乐而不屈。老人因为长时间钓鱼而满身伤疤。他的形象就像一棵古树，被时间的绳子束缚着，最后只留下褐斑和腐烂的伤疤。但很长一段时间都没有夺去眼睛的光芒，就像老人面对失败的冷静，那种顽强、不屈的精神不朽。
在与大马林鱼战斗的过程中，老人不停地说：“如果孩子在这里。如果那孩子在这里。更可见，老人与男孩友谊的真诚，是男孩给了他坚强的抵抗力和视死如归的勇气。在关键时刻，男孩成为圣地亚哥的精神支柱，成为他不放弃的动力。与此同时，老人以前对男孩的关心让我意识到他的善良，爱孩子的性格，并在男孩身上找到一点自己的风格。
窗外的月光越来越明亮。在深邃的夜空中，我揉着疲惫的眼睛，继续翻薄薄的纸页，但心中的巨浪却更加汹涌澎湃。
当我还是个孩子的时候，我总是不明白狮子的出现代表了什么，为什么文章中对狮子的描述多次出现。然而，今天，我似乎明白狮子是勇敢和顽强的象征，但也是老年人的精神写照，狮子的出现代表了老年人士气的逐步加深。
当他与鲨鱼争夺结果时，他说了几句话:“但人不是为失败而生的。”“一个人可以被毁灭，但不能被打败。“这仍然是我回味无穷的经典。老人的自信和顽强的性格体现得淋漓尽致。他接受自己的毁灭，但他永远不会容忍被打败。这不是一种人生思考吗？巨鲨相当于人生道路上的坎坷和磨难。我们可能会被这些磨难摧毁，但我们不能被它击倒。即使我们伤痕累累，像老人一样拖着巨大的鱼骨回去，我们终究会赢。因为在精神上，有些事情正在悄悄地改变，让我们受益终生，也许我们会像大马林鱼一样收获丰硕的成果。
我躺在柔软舒适的床上，回忆着老人的事迹，深深地沉浸在大海的梦中。
看《老人与海》这本节的时候，我会经常性的感觉到老人仿佛是海中一条久经沙场的大鱼，也许这样的形容不准确，或者说老人就是海，可却是历尽沧桑的海。老人的眼睛如文中所提一样，时间在变老，可那双眼睛却像海水一样蓝，是愉快的，毫不沮丧的。
老人与小孩都时常用谎言去修饰那穷迫的生活，小孩对老人的尊重甚至充满了崇拜，他对老人的信心有增无减，并不断地激励他、照顾他。我有时在想，老人就像一条大鱼，虽然身疲力尽，可是绝不向大海和渔人屈服。老人的身体、力量在逐渐缩小，可老人那长年积累的经验和技巧促使他存有信心，能捕捉到大鱼的信心。
老人始终做着与别人不同的事，他做的是别人敢想而不敢做的事，虽然有许多人不理解他，可他照样做。老人在海中经历了太多的事，当他捕到一条大青花鱼的时候，也兴奋的嚷了起来，经过两个多月来，他没有捕到一条鱼的事实，他开始自言自语，在海上交谈是一件不好的事情，这仿佛成了所有出海的渔人之间的一种品德，可老人却由于孤单也许有其他的外在因素，促成老人嚷出了自己心中的话，老人渴望遇见走失的鱼群，因为大鱼肯定会在其中，老人在八十五天的时候用大青花鱼做为诱饵，太阳在他的脑后，海岸远离了他，在他的视眼里有的只有一片一望无际的海与那青青的山。
经过老人的努力，一条马林鱼在吃下老人的诱饵，老人灵活地握着钓丝，用他那经验与技巧同躲在海下六百英尺的大鱼做着较量。老人感觉到大鱼的重量，慢慢将手中的线放下去，经过了好一段时间，老人决定收网了，可鱼也是很精神的，在那*静无波的水上，老人与大鱼做着无声的较量。老人的汗干了，全身冷冰冰的，两方都拿对方没有办法，就这么耗着。
读到这的时候，我觉得在我们的人生当中，耐性其实是非常重要的，谁的耐性好，谁就能在最后一个笑，当然信心也是基础，我从老人的身上看到了，不达目的绝不罢休的气势，在那条大鱼的身上我也看到了绝不屈服的精神，而在乎两者之外的，不是别的东西，是人情，说的更准确一点，应该是同情。鱼并没有果断地将船撞翻或将老人拉下海而是与老人那慢慢地耗着，它仿佛通人性也许是残酷的现实让它不得不学会一种与人较量的好办法，也许是它根本没有办法。
在鱼的身上，我看到了人类身上难以看到的忠诚，当两条公与母的鱼其中一条被捉住后，而另一条却在旁边静静地守护着，直至最后看了一眼对方而冲进深海，这在我们的现实生活中很难看到，就像那句老话“夫妻本是同林鸟，大难临头各自飞。”也许这就是所谓的聪明的代表。
老人在船上无数次地希望孩子在那里，老人将带有血的手放在海里，看它们与海水慢慢地融合，仿佛要将他自己与海化为一体一样。老人与手进行了自言自语的谈话。过了很久，鱼进行了反抗，我看到了一股无形的力量在冲破水面，向老人的船攻击。死鱼被鲨鱼攻击，变得尸体难存。最后，大鱼被全吃了，老人也到达了彼岸……
老人在最后的时候梦见了狮子。回想整篇内容，老人是老了，可他却充满信心要一定捕到大鱼，结果给了他一个证明，一个在海中是强者的证明。
假期闲来无事，又重新潜心拜读了一遍《老人与海》，读时却不禁感想颇深，仿佛不是在阅读一本枯燥的书，而是在阅读一颗生动的心，一颗赤红的心，一颗跳动的充满激情的心。那是数年前我体会不到的。我的感怀也由此开始。
简练，或者说精炼的文字，配上扣人心弦的叙述，即使不长的小说，也能成功，而牵动读者的心。《老人与海》在海明威的思绪中流转，充满炽热的液体，不曾冷却。
王勃笔下流淌出的千古传唱的《滕王阁序》，其间曾说，“老当益壮，宁移白首之心，穷且益坚，不坠青云之志。”这不仅是一个人的志向，也是老人圣地亚哥的真实写照，是他的灵魂的最恰当描述，是一种生命意义，是一种悲剧一般的壮丽，还是一种对人生的洞悉。当这个世界的天*不向每个人倾斜时，总用人会被象征倒霉的另一端所高高抬起，没有信心，厄运会轻易吞噬空虚的心灵。人真的是很奇怪的动物，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，也许这才是人真正害怕的。唯有不羁的灵魂，才是与大海的对抗，与自然的对抗，与世界的对抗，与命运的对抗，这样的灵魂才能做到，真正的伟大，即使他不曾成功过。
远涉千里，深入大海。为的只是一条鱼么？说到底，人的真正胜利也只能是精神的胜利。人在物质上无论取得多大的成就，都不能赢得我们崇高的敬意。而只有精神和气魄的胜利，才使我感动，才使我和追随老人的孩子一样，为他的悲壮落泪无可否认，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，无论他能否最终战胜自身的这个缺陷，他都是一个胜利者，因为他已经战胜了自己对缺陷的妥协，他是自己勇气和信心的胜利者。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。
“一个人可以被毁灭，但不能被打败。”外在的肉体可以接受折磨，内在的`意志却是神圣不可侵犯的。一方面倒下，恰恰是另一方面的站起，在一个宛如梦境的场景中，必定会出现胜利的结局，这是圣地亚哥的魂，也是他无论如何都不会倒下的精神层面。我认为，这，才是伟大的定义。
老人，外表的丑陋，内心的壮丽，和奋勇。无论如何，都没有人敢说他不是英雄。
英雄或许要有强大的肉体，令人称颂的作为，四方流传的美誉，但这些都不是最重要的，甚至可以说可有可无。一个英雄，拥有的，便是精神力量的巨人。所谓英雄者，敢为人之所不敢为，敢当人之所不敢当。所谓英雄者，坚强刚毅，屡败屡战。他左右自己，成为一个永不会被击倒的人，他在精神领域，没有失败的记录，也没有失败的预兆，甚至没有失败的概念。自信，坚持，不懈，拼搏，一个老人的故事，一个英雄的启迪。
那我呢？或许我觉得，所谓英雄离我太遥远，但是距离产生美。而美又是在我们身边的。我不是英雄，也许永远不会是。但是没关系，我有英雄之志，这就足够了。它告诉我的，并不是事迹，而是精神和品质。它的存在是一种高尚的品德。或许我正碌碌无为，但我不会让我迈向成功的步伐停滞，也不会让我追梦的凤凰坠落。不屈服于困境，不低头于失败，脚踏实地坚持不懈，把不值得变成值得，把不可能化作可能。这就是我要做的，我该做的。若是这样，我才告诉自己，自己是强大的，是成功的，向老人一样，永不言弃亦永不言败。
浮想联翩之间，才领悟到，所谓老当益壮，壮的意义，我想就是一个英雄的努力，他在现实中失败，却在精神上达到了巅峰。
不久前，我读了《老人与海》，这本书刻画出一个与大海搏斗，在艰难的环境下，奋力生活的老渔夫。读过这本书的人应该记得，在书中提到过，老人的渔船上那破旧的帆布，就像是一面失败的旗帜，仿佛在宣告着老人永远都捕不到鱼的倒霉运气。但是，他没有放弃，仍然出海捕鱼。而在现实中，许多人却不能坚持，面对挫折就选择了放弃，选择了逃避。和那已经生活窘迫的老渔夫相比，那些逃避的人真的是不知道什么才是挫折。我们可能会因为考试的失利，而对自己失去信心。或者因为别人的批评，而自暴自弃。在那时候，想想这个坚强的老渔夫，他是如何面对生活的。自己的心，自然就会释然许多。别人与大海，与自然界的强大力量对抗，而我们现在只是面临一些学*上、生活上的挫折，与老渔夫相比，真的只是小巫见大巫。
他的手已经沾满老茧，皮肤也已经被刺眼的阳光晒出斑点，那艘破烂的渔船也不能抵御什么风暴，自己那破旧的小屋也是外面下大雨里面下小雨的那种。但是，他没有放弃对生活的希望，他和那个小男孩聊棒球，去酒馆喝酒聊天，仍然天天早上迎着第一缕阳光出海捕鱼，无论有没有收获，这不只是因为他要依靠捕鱼谋生，而是捕鱼已经成为了他生活的一部分，他的一种记忆。最后一次捕鱼，他抓到了一条大鱼，可是，在回港的路上，他碰到了鲨鱼攻击，他毅然拿起鱼叉扞卫自己辛苦得来的劳动果实。虽然，最后那条大鱼被鲨鱼吃光了，虽然最后失败了。但是老渔夫那种不言败的精神，勇敢去付出的那种行为，却是我们应该学*的。
——阅读《老人与海》读后感范文五份
读了《老人与海》这篇文章，我不禁暗暗为海明威的巨作叫好。这个故事形象逼真的描写了一个老人是怎样靠着坚定的信念灵巧地将一头大鱼捕到自己那简陋的船上，又是怎样赶走“来犯之敌”——鲨鱼。虽然他没能将整条鱼运回去，但他的精神值得我们学*：人要有自信心，遇事要对自己说“我能行!”。大家想一想，如果这位老人钓到了一条比自己大上7、8倍的鱼，他见了就害怕，把鱼放了，那他能将鱼运回来为自己争光吗?不，不能，他正是靠着这样常人难以接受决心，才能捕到这条大鱼。
在我们班上，有学*差的同学，他们就是对自己信心不足，再加上旁人的讽刺，这时，他们对学*毫无兴趣，从而使学*成绩逐步下降，下降……
现在的社会发达了，如果能克隆自信心的话，那我一定克隆一份，将它送给信心不足的朋友!
今天我们老师讲了老人与海，我听后非常佩服老人的那种毅力尽管84没捕捞到一条鱼，但是他还是不放弃他身上的每一种不放弃的精神都值得我们去学*。
这篇课文主要讲这样一件事，桑提亚哥已经84没捕捞到一条鱼了终于碰到了一条，非常大的马林鱼，经过殊死搏斗桑提亚哥终于把马林鱼杀死了，老人正在高兴的时候，大马林鱼的血水把一群鲨鱼找来了鲨鱼一口口把老人辛辛苦苦杀死的大马林鱼要的残缺不全，老人当时心疼的呀无与伦比，我看了我都想：上去帮老人一把，老人就不会这么累了，老人说：“一个人并不是生来要给打败的你尽可以把他消灭掉可就是打不败他”这位老人的坚强意志让我感动，他能在八十四天没有打到鱼的情况下，仍然能在第八十四天继续打鱼再回去的途中还遇到了大鲨鱼，老人到最后百大鲨鱼杀掉了，这需要多么巨大的毅力才能办的到这件事情啊!要是我肯定就跑了。
狭路相逢勇者胜，只要大家努力做一件事，一定能做好。
今天我读了美国作者海明威的《老人与海》。
一位老人常自在海上打鱼。有一次他钓到了一条大鱼，但是在返回的路上遇到了成群的鲨鱼。老人使出浑身解数和鲨鱼搏斗，鲨鱼把能吃的肉全吃完了。结果老人拖回去的只是一副大鱼的骨架。
这是《老人与海》。老人没有被任何困难压服，他尽自己最大的努力与生活中的磨难做不屈不挠地做斗争。他说：“一个人并不是生来就要给打败的，你可以消灭他，却不能打败他。”这种永不言败的精神感动并激励着我们每个人。
老人的精神深深地感动了我。
要在这个世界上获得成功，就必须坚持到底;至死都不能离手。
——题记
翻开第一页，一幅插图便吸引住了我的眼球——只见一位老人双手拽着鱼线，脸上露出慈祥而又坚定的神情。这正与老人头上灰色的天空和船下涌动的深蓝色海水形成正比，更加突出了老人面对困难不服输的硬汉子精神。这也正是老人两天两夜捕到一条长十八尺，重一千五百磅的马林鱼的成功之路。
我迫不及待地打开书，津津有味地读了起来。随着时间一秒秒流过，书页一页页翻过，我慢慢地沉浸在如同大海波涛般跌荡起伏的故事情节中，老人幽默而又坚定的话语、坚强的性格深深地烙在了我的心头。虽然前84天一无所获，但第85天老人还坚持出海打渔，最后终于在深海钓到大鱼……未读的页数一点点减少，曲折的故事情节深深地吸引着我。
虽然最终老人钓的马林鱼只剩了一副巨大的骨架，但老人勇敢地保护马林鱼的片段却吸引了我。我不禁在脑海里勾勒出了一幅幅精彩的画面：一群鲨鱼围住了老人的船，它们张着血盆大口，瞪着贪婪的小眼睛，一批批地冲上去，朝马林鱼最鲜嫩的'地方咬去，老人心如刀绞，拿起刀与它们进行了一次殊死拼搏……
读完整本书，我的心情同大海一样不能*静，沉醉在了书中紧张而又精彩的情节中。老人，是坚定的，伟大的。他那咬定青山不放松的精神，正是我们在学*上需要的精神。
老人那一叶扁舟，满载着信心，我们的信心在哪里?我们的信心，应该在头脑里——遇到难题，我们用大脑思考，用笔尖演算，征服它;我们的信心在手里，当今社会，我们应该大胆创新，用双手创造出不一样的东西来;我们的信心在心里，一分信心，一分希望，我们应该相信自己，相信未来!
老人那一双炯炯有神的眼睛，燃烧着勇气，我们的勇气在哪里?我们的勇气在脚上，有勇气迈出第一步，就有勇气一步一步勇敢地走向未来;我们的勇气在背上，我们每天背着书包上学去学*，学*并不简单，但我们背上了它，就得有勇气向前走，学*更多的知识。
老人那一根细长的钓线，钓出了执着，我们的执着在哪里?我们的执着在脚步中，我们要像老牛一样，一步一步踏踏实实地向前走;我们的执着在行动上，我们每做一件事情，就要把它做到底;我们的执着，在心灵深处，有了这种精神，我们才能成功。
一根钓线，牵着老人的希望，一条小船，载着老人的精神。老人战胜了海，创造出了奇迹!
失败，在许多人的眼中是非常可怕的，它一旦猖狂起来，就能击溃人的斗志，让人彻底崩溃，失去生活的希望。如果失败战胜不了你，而是被你踩在脚下，那么，成功必定属于你。
著名作家海明威在《老人与海》中塑造的那位老人就是一位打不到的硬汉子。
《老人与海》主要讲了一位名叫桑地亚哥的老渔翁一次特别的打鱼经历。在连续八十四天没有打到一条鱼后，他终于发现了一条巨大的大马林鱼。老人费尽心力，把大马林鱼扎死。然而，等待老人的是更大的考验。一群嗅着血腥味而来的大鲨鱼扑了过来。最后鲨鱼们吃光了大马林鱼，老人凭着顽强的意志胜利返航，尽管拖回的只是一副光秃秃的骨架……
人生的道路是曲折坎坷的，遇到失败是再*常不过的事，我们应该时时刻刻拥有一颗坚强、不屈服的心来面对失败，成功就一定会向我们走来。
