THE OLD MAN AND THE SEA

-

 

The story follows Santiago, an aging Cuban fisherman who has gone 84 days without catching a fish. Despite being seen as unlucky by others, he sets out alone into the Gulf Stream, determined to prove his skill and strength one more time.


Far out at sea, Santiago hooks a giant marlin, the biggest fish he has ever seen. For three long days and nights, he struggles with the fish, enduring hunger, exhaustion, and pain. Santiago respects the marlin deeply, seeing it as a noble rival. Finally, he manages to harpoon and kill it, lashing the massive fish to his small skiff.


But Santiago’s triumph is short-lived. On the way back, sharks attack the marlin, tearing it apart despite his desperate fight to defend it. By the time Santiago returns to shore, only the marlin’s skeleton remains.


Though he has lost the prize, Santiago regains the respect of the villagers, and especially the loyalty of the boy, Manolin, who vows to fish with him again.


The novel is written in simple, clear language, but its meaning is very deep. It leaves readers inspired to never give up, even when life feels impossible. Overall, it is a timeless classic that reminds us of the dignity of human spirit.


 5/5⭐

STARGAZING (DAY 2)

-
Beneath the velvet curtain of night, We venture out, seeking cosmic light. With awe-filled eyes and hearts ablaze, We lose ourselves in starry haze. Each twinkle a story, a celestial dance, Guiding us in this cosmic expanse. We ponder galaxies, vast and grand, Lost in wonder, as grains of sand. In whispered secrets of the night, We find solace, our souls take flight. Beneath the canopy of endless space, We're humbled by its timeless grace. So let us linger in this cosmic trance, In the silent symphony of cosmic dance. For in star gazing, we find our place, Boundless dreams in infinite space. 2/4
