The old man and the sea ".
This summer, I read a famous American writer Ernest Hemingway's novel "the old man and the sea". I have great admiration for novel purdah fisherman's will, he let me know how a man must have perseverance that can succeed.
Heruovel depicts a nearly 60 years old fisherman, in a single sea fishing, caught a big fish, yet pull not up. The old fisherman with fish moves after a few days, and found that it is a more than oneself the big marlin fishing boats to several times, although knowing is hard to win, but still don't give up. Later for the big marlin wound fish odor drew a few of sharks rob food, but the old man still would not so give up, eventually beckoning, fish brought back the harbor, let the other fishermen to admire.
When I read "the old fisherman thought: here off the coast is really too close, maybe in the more distant place will have more fish..." I have great admiration for the old fisherman, because he now hit some fish, but he didn't status quo, but towards greater goals. See again, at ordinary times we met a little difficulty, we all suffer badly. We are the future of our motherland, should be like the old man as ambitious, to seek better, bigger targets.
《老人与海》。
今年暑假，我读了美国著名作家海明威的小说《老人与海》。我十分佩服小说中老渔夫的意志，他让我懂得了一个人一定要有坚持不懈的精神，才能获得成功。
小说描写的是一个年近六旬的老渔夫，在一次单身出海打鱼时，钓到了一条大鱼，却拉不上来。老渔夫同鱼周旋了几天后，才发现这是一条超过自己渔船数倍的大马林鱼，虽然明知很难取胜，但仍不放弃。后来又因大马林鱼伤口上的鱼腥味引来了几群鲨鱼抢食，但老人仍不愿就这样放弃，最终突出重围，将大鱼带回了渔港，让其他渔夫佩服不已。
当我读到“老渔夫想：这里离海岸实在是太近了，也许在更远的地方会有更大的鱼……”时，我十分佩服这位老渔夫，因为他这时已经打到了一些鱼，但他没有安于现状，而是向着更大的目标前进。再看看我们，平时遇到一点小困难，我们都叫苦连天。我们是祖国的未来，应该像这位老人一样胸怀大志，去追求更好、更大的目标。
