急求美国著名小说的简介(要用英文)
The Old Man and the Sea
Have you ever heard of a fisherman that hooked a fish and stayed with it for three days?This short novel The Old Man And The Sea,by Ernest Hemingway,tells the story of the old man’s journey.This modern classic makes the reader feel the color,the texture,the size,and the shape of the nature that surrounds him.This novel is not hard to understand and it has a lot of description.
The two main characters in this short novel are the fisherman (the old man) and the fish.It starts off on land,where the old man is getting ready for his journey out to sea.The next day he sets out for the journey to sea.“As he rowed he heard the trembling sound as the flying fish left the water.” That was the only sound,that and “The dip of the oars.”
Love,death,and friendship are very important in this short novel.The way Hemingway shows the old man’s affection towards the sea,and the fish is just by love,death,and friendship.The old man thinks of the fish as his “brothers,” not as just something that he could survive on.The fish in Cayuga Lake are as beautiful as the way the old man describes them.The old man is somewhat like my father in ways,they’re not quitters.The conscience inside both of them tells them to “keep trying,” “don’t give up.” Friendship is one of the main themes in the two books The Old Man and The Sea and Of Mice and Men.In The Old Man and The Sea the old man treats his friends with the same respect,love,and harshness as characters in Of Mice and Men.The old man respects the fish and loves it like a brother,but has to kill it because he has to survive.George in Of Mice and Men,respects and loves Lennie (one of the main characters in the book) but has to kill him because the other people will just make him suffer as they killed him slowly.
The Old Man and The Sea is a very good book even though it talks only about the sea and fishing.I can’t rate this book on a scale of one to ten,or a five star rating because it is different than any other book I’ve read.I would truly recommend this book.If you like books with a lot of descriptions about the sea,sky,and fish,you might be interested in reading about an old man going out to sea.
