content: Santiago, an old fisherman, is the main character in the dreadfully boring book The Old Man and the Sea by Ernest Hemingway. The short, choppy sentences ruin the plot which is Santiago trying to catch a fish.If you haven't read this book yet, then don't. You're not missing anything. The main and only real conflict is that he's an old man and he hasn't caught a fish in almost 3 months.This book couldn't possibly be at all interesting. However, if your trying to die of boredom this is the book for you. If you do choose to read this book, may the force be with you
