 * __//PG. 1-28 The Old Man And The Sea//__**

I selected this book to read because my mom said that she reed it when she was in school and she said it was a good book so i decided to read it. Before i started to read the novel I first had to know what it was about so I looked on the back of the book and it told me that it was about an old man that goes fishing and he gets a big fish one day. Before the story began one thing that went on is that the old man goes fishing. As the story begins it introduces a young boy that is freinds with the old man and he takes care of him and he used to go fishing with the old man untill his parents said he wasnt aloud. The people that are telling the story so far are the narrator, the young boy, and the old man. The setting of the novel is at the Gulf Stream in the mid 1900's, yes the setting is important because you should know were the story takes place and in what year so that you can understand the book better. The first problem faced by the main character is that he can catch any fish in the last couple months. He gives specific points and intresting things to come later in the story. Other information in the story is that the boy doesnt fish with the old man anymore but he still fishes on another boat and the boat that he goes on is usually very successfull in catching fish.
