The Old Man and the Sea (1990)
My thoughts on The Old Man and the Sea
THIS IS A SPOILER!!!
In our 9th grade English class we watched the 1990 version of The Old Man and the Sea and read the book. In my opinion I thought it was a bad book. I personally thought it was boarding. It all started when Sanitago when fishing and he comes back to shore and a little bay was named Manolin. He used to fish was him, but had to stop because his father didn't want him to; he was making any money when he was fishing with the old man. The little boy wanted to fish with him so badly; the boy brought the old man beer and some food. As the book goes on he ends up going out to see, and doesn't tell his daughter, so she gets all upset because she should be taking care of her father. As he is out at sea all he does is talk to himself, and keeps going on about how much he loves the fish and doesn't want to hurt it. He did end up getting his fish but a shark came by and took a piece out of the marlin, there was soon to be blood everywhere. That made more sharks come, other sharks took pieces out, by the time he got back to shore the hole marlin was gone, everything, the whole fish was eaten. Even though the fish was eaten by the sharks, people still gave him great respect for doing what they did. His daughter was so happy that he was back safe and d sound. The old man was a little sick so he stayed home, and everyday the boy would bring something to eat everyday. Then the boy asks, 'When can you take me fishing? I want to be good like you?' The old man smiles and says 'the storm should be over in a couple of days, and we'll be ready for the sea
