__//**PG. 57-84 The Old Man And The Sea**//__

The point of the book that im at is still were the guy is fighting with the fish it has now been 2 days that the old man has been fighting with this huge fish. He didnt see it surface till just now, the whole other time it just stayed down deep in the darkness of the ocean, but it finally rose to the surface and he saw the fish, and how he explained it, it sounds to be a very big catch. And he is still wishing that his freind the boy was with him during this big struggle to apprehend this huge fish. The old man reminds me of myself because of his attitude. He never gives up and when he wants to do something he does it. The message that I think the author is trying to show is that when you want to do something you should try hard and not give up no matter what the circumstances are put on you. I think that this book will end with the old man catching the fish and taking it back to land and feed all of the members of his town. The situation when the old man cuts his had on the line reminds me of a time in my life when I was fishing and I got a big fish on and the line cut my finger when the fish tried to swim away from me. I like the writing that the author uses in this story because it is really easy to understand and he uses really fine detail in parts that are exiting and anxious to know what happens.
