 * //__PG. 114-140 The Old Man And The Sea__//**

The climax of this novel would probably have to be the part when the old man hooked on to the big fish at the beggining of the story. The major conflicts in this story are solved by the old man killing the sharks off so that they dont eat all of his huge fish that took him two days to real in. The major things that helped me resolve the plot is when the author would explain the fine details about what is happening at specific points in the story. The message that I got from this novel is that you shouldnt give up on what you are doing even though there may be obsticals that you have to get around. This message is shown in the story because the old man hooked this fish and he never stoped fighting it untill he caught it even though he was tired, hungry, thirsty, and old. The main characters in the story were very determined people that had a lot of courage. Yes I was satisfied with the end of the novel it was a good ending and in the end the old man got the boy back to go fishing with him again. Yes the novel is believable because all the things that happened were real situations that any good fisher could find themselves in. I would recommend this novel to a friend because it was a very good and exciting book and the ending of it was good. The novel did reach my expectations because usually when I read a book it is boring and not interesting at all but this book was very interesting and overall a good book to read. The part of the story i liked best is when the old man faught off the sharks because after everything he went through trying to catch the fish he still had enough energy to fight off a bunch of sharks. But the part that i did not like is when the sharks ended up eating almost all of the huge fish that took the old man two days to catch. When the old man got back to land all that was left of the fish was the head and the tail, there was no middle left of it. Also when he got back the young boy was very happy to see him and told the old man that for now on he was going to go fishing with him no matter what his parents would say.
