Title: Battles with Life and the Sea
Review: The Old Man and the Sea, by Ernest Hemingway, is a short novel about an old Cuban fisherman named Santiago, the many struggles he faces in his life and his main conflict with a large marlin far out in the Gulf Stream. The details of this novel are very specific and to the point. It does not seem like Hemingway used any special techniques to try to attract the reader even more towards the novel. However, the novel was still enticing, and clear; unlike other authors, Hemingway did not keep me bewildered throughout the whole novel, and then surprised me with a bad conclusion-it was the opposite of that. I liked that Hemingway used various themes like courage, loneliness, defeat, and others. I also liked that Hemingway used very detailed descriptions of everything he talked about, and he used very simple language, comprehendible to everybody. I found the novel interesting from beginning to end.
