The Old Man and the Sea_老人与海英语读后感600字

Read the "old man and the sea", I was optimistic about the hero, brave and persistent "tough guy" image attracted deeply.

The hero Santiago is a "bad luck" for the elderly, for 84 consecutive days did not catch fish, the sea for eighty-fifth days, after two days and nights of fighting, finally captured the big marlin a more than 1500 pound. However, the weather is unpredictable, on the voyage home, repeatedly attacked by a shark, the old man and the shark put up a good fight, the big marlin was eaten by a shark, a fish skeleton old man finally dragged home only a bare. During this time, the old man, with extraordinary courage and amazing perseverance, endured the unbearable loneliness, hunger, fatigue, and pain, which surpassed the limits of man again and again. But we do not see a drop of loser's tears, but clearly see the failure of the strong smile, he is a tough guy, is a hero who has failed.

This is a lonely journey, a man rowing a boat slowly towards the sea, was dragging a big fish without direction in the diffuse, complex ocean currents that floated around, frightening disorientation, like a person in the night in the forest to find a way out, only the elderly and self dialogue, and dialogue and fish. The sea of dialogue.

Man and the sea, with a strong force to fight nature, and we are just facing some learning and life setbacks, compared with the old fisherman, really just pale into insignificance by comparison. His hands were covered with calluses, the skin has also been glaring sun spots, broken fishing boats that can not resist what the rain storm, his old house that is out of the rain that. But he did not give up hope for life. He chatted with the little boy about baseball, went to pubs, drank and talked, and went fishing every morning in front of the first rays of sunshine. Whether he has harvested or not, he will insist on fishing, not just because he has to rely on fishing for a living, but fishing has become a part of his life, a memory of him. The last fishing, he caught a big fish, but on the way back to Hong Kong, he hit a shark attack, he resolutely picked up the harpoon to defend the fruits of their hard work. Although the last big fish was eaten by sharks, only white skeletons were left. But the old fisherman's spirit of failure, though he failed at last, was the kind of behavior he was brave to give, but we should study it.

Think back to the text of the old man's words: "people are not born for failure, a person can be destroyed, but not defeated," the wrong way out of the main body of this article? Man is a strange animal. Why does he have the courage to face death without the courage to face failure? Is defeat really so terrible? There is a bloody wind in the cold sea breeze. Maybe these are the real fears!

Life is an endless pursuit, finally caught a full marlin, or the Marlins in an empty skeleton, it does not matter, because the value of a person's life, has been in the process of chasing Marlin fully embodies. Is it true that the old man who has tried his best to live his life and pursue and strive for his ideal is not a real winner? Such a life should be no regrets.

I think this book is worth to read, and it is very interesting.
