the old man and the sea is one of hemingway's most enduring works and may very well become one of the true classics of this generation. it played a great part in his winning the pulizer prize in 1953 and the 1954 novel prize for literature and confirmed his power and presence in the literary world. hemingway is also one of my favorite writers. besides the old man and the sea, i have read some of his other works, such as the sun also rises, a farewell to arms and the snow of kilimanijaro. but the old man and the sea is the one that left the deepest impression on me.
i first read this book when i was in my fifteens. and now i remember it just as well as if i had read it yesterday.
pride and prejudice is a chefdoeuvre.
my first impression of this story was from screen.
it's long long ago, maybe before i can read english books. i don't remember which movie edition i had seen. but i was impressed by the music, the scenery and the costume. i was very favor of a section of music in its balls. it's pretty brisk, liked a wonderful song of a bird. regarding to the characters, i liked elizabeth, the heroine,though i didn't think she's beautiful. but she's smart. however, i didn't pay much attention to the plot. i thought it's so long that it made me impatient and bored. by now, i haven't read the whole story in english or its chinese version, either. i owe it to my prejudice.
in fact, i didn't understand the story at that time. i didn't know why it called pride and prejudice. of course someone was pride, but i didn't find where' s the prejudice. i thought it's normal, the way people treated each other in that. i considered prejudice would be very disgusting. but to the movie everthing was ok in my minds, except its length. now, i think i have understood more about it. i'm a prejudiced person so i can't find where's wrong. i merely like to do the things i like. everytime i meet somebody or something,my thinking about he or it all depends on my foregone experience and my mood of the time.

老人与海英文读后感100字老人与海英文读后感（4） | 返回目录Reading Report of The Old Man and the Sea
The Old Man and the Sea was written by an American writer named Ernest Hemingway. It has been translated into tens of languages, and the writer was so proud of his work.
Santiago, the hero of the story, had gone eighty-four days without taking a fish back. At first, a boy named Manolion had been with him, but Santiago couldn’t catch even one fish. The boy had gone at his parents’ orders in a lucky boat which caught three good fish the first week, and the couple thought that it was definitely and finally bad to let their boy stay with the old fisherman. On Santiago’s eighty-fifth day of fishing, he went out alone, leaving the smell of the land behind and rowing out into the clean early morning smell of ocean. To his surprise, he caught a tuna which he had never seen before and it was hard to believe that the tuna was bigger than his boat. Later, the blood from the tuna left a trail for all sharks as wide as a highway, so fighting against sharks was unavoidable. The result was that sharks ate up all the meat of the tuna and Santiago only brought the tuna skeleton back. He was so tired that he slept deeply as soon as he got home, dreaming of lions.
In this story, Santiago was an old and poor widow though he was good at fishing and had so much valuable experience. He only lived on fishing all his life. At long last, he just brought the skeleton back, you may think such a fisherman should be a loser, but this result didn’t mean failing. On the contrary, Hemingway used the skeleton which was the pillar of spirit to strengthen the meaning of the old man’s life. Santiago was described as a perfect person who never gave up.
The boy named Manolion appeared in the beginning and at the end. Even during Santiago’s voyage, he always came to the poor old man’s mind. He was the only person who cared Santiago sincerely, trust Santiago absolutely, and the young boy wanted to be an inheritor of Santiago’s career. Hemingway not only told us the experience of fishing should be spread from generation to generation, but also expected us to admire, to learn from and to carry on the spirit of Santiago. The appearance of Manilion was not by chance, which was arranged by Hemingway. During Santiago’s long voyage, how much he wished the boy could have been with him to drive his loneliness away. Youth is the symbol of energy and hope. Even an old man can be young inside. Lions appeared several times in Santiago’s dreams for they were living in his heart, which showed the spirit of Santiago would never be low.
The coming of the sharks could not be avoided. They can be thought as attack which can swallow your success and happiness. The story tells me to face the problems happened in my life with a heart as wide as ocean. Though the old man was lonely, he was a traveler who walked on the road of realizing his ideals. But he was not alone at the moment, for his will was so firm. The Old Man and the Sea has won the Nobel Prize at last, which is a comfort to the writer.

[老人与海英文读后感200]
When I was a middle school student, I’ve finished this book in Chinese.But when I read it in English,I really gain something new both in the way of expression and the spirit it shows to us.May be different ages to read the same book we will learn different things from it.At least, for my part, that is true.
Firstly,I would like to review some information about this book.Such as the background,major characters and the topic of it.
The Old Man and the Sea is a story by Ernest Hemingway, written in Cuba in 1951 and published in 1952. It was the last major work of fiction to be produced by Hemingway and published in his lifetime. One of his most famous works, it centers upon Santiago, an aging Cuban fisherman who struggles with a giant marlin far out in the Gulf Stream.
The Old Man and the Sea served to reinvigorate Hemingway's literary reputation and prompted a reexamination of his entire body of work. The novella was initially received with much popularity; it restored many readers' confidence in Hemingway's capability as an author. Its publisher, Scribner's, on an early dust jacket, called the novella a “new classic,” and many critics favorably compared it with such works as William Faulkner's “The Bear” and Herman Melville's Moby-Dick.
This book gives me a deep impression especially the description about the man’s braveness and persistence.
In this book, in order to suggest the profundity of the old man’s sacrifice and the glory that derives from it, Hemingway purposefully likens Santiago to Christ, who, according to Christian theology, gave his life for the greater glory of humankind. Crucifixion imagery is the most noticeable way in which Hemingway creates the symbolic parallel between Santiago and Christ. When Santiago’s palms are first cut by his fishing line, the reader cannot help but think of Christ suffering his stigmata. Later, when the sharks arrive, Hemingway portrays the old man as a crucified martyr, saying that he makes a noise similar to that of a man having nails driven through his hands. Furthermore, the image of the old man struggling up the hill with his mast across his shoulders recalls Christ’s march toward Calvary. Even the position in which Santiago collapses on his bed—face down with his arms out straight and the palms of his hands up—brings to mind the image of Christ suffering on the cross. Hemingway employs these images in the final pages of the novella in order to link Santiago to Christ, who exemplified transcendence by turning loss into gain, defeat into triumph, and even death into renewed life.
The major characters in this book are also vivid and lively.
Santiago?,the old man of the novella’s title, Santiago is a Cuban fisherman who has had an extended run of bad luck. Despite his expertise, he has been unable to catch a fish for eighty-four days. He is humble, yet exhibits a justified pride in his abilities. His knowledge of the sea and its creatures, and of his craft, is unparalleled and helps him preserve a sense of hope regardless of circumstance.
The marlin?,Santiago hooks the marlin, which we learn at the end of the novella measures eighteen feet, on the first afternoon of his fishing expedition. Manolin?,a boy presumably in his adolescence, Manolin is Santiago’s apprentice and devoted attendant. The old man first took him out on a boat when he was merely five years old. Due to Santiago’s recent bad luck, Manolin’s parents have forced the boy to go out on a different fishing boat. Manolin, however, still cares deeply for the old man, to whom he continues to look as a mentor.
Joe DiMaggio, although DiMaggio never appears in the novel, he plays a significant role nonetheless. Santiago worships him as a model of strength and commitment, and his thoughts turn toward DiMaggio whenever he needs to reassure himself of his own strength. Perico ?,Perico, the reader assumes, owns the bodega in Santiago’s village. He never appears in the novel, but he serves an important role in the fisherman’s life by providing him with newspapers that report the baseball scores. This act establishes him as a kind man who helps the aging Santiago.
Martin,like Perico, Martin, a café owner in Santiago’s village, does not appear in the story. The reader learns of him through Manolin, who often goes to Martin for Santiago’s supper. As the old man says, Martin is a man of frequent kindness who deserves to be repaid.
From the very first paragraph, Santiago is characterized as someone struggling against defeat. He has gone eighty-four days without catching a fish—he will soon pass his own record of eighty-seven days. Almost as a reminder of Santiago’s struggle, the sail of his skiff resembles “the flag of permanent defeat.” But the old man refuses defeat at every turn: he resolves to sail out beyond the other fishermen to where the biggest fish promise to be. He lands the marlin, tying his record of eighty-seven days after a brutal three-day fight, and he continues to ward off sharks from stealing his prey, even though he knows the battle is useless.
Because Santiago is pitted against the creatures of the sea, some readers choose to view the tale as a chronicle of man’s battle against the natural world, but the novella is, more accurately, the story of man’s place within nature. Both Santiago and the marlin display qualities of pride, honor, and bravery, and both are subject to the same eternal law: they must kill or be killed. As Santiago reflects when he watches the weary warbler fly toward shore, where it will inevitably meet the hawk, the world is filled with predators, and no living thing can escape the inevitable struggle that will lead to its death. Santiago lives according to his own observation: “man is not made for defeat . . . [a] man can be destroyed but not defeated.” In Hemingway’s portrait of the world, death is inevitable, but the best men (and animals) will nonetheless refuse to give in to its power. Accordingly, man and fish will struggle to the death, just as hungry sharks will lay waste to an old man’s trophy catch.
The novel suggests that it is possible to transcend this natural law. In fact, the very inevitability of destruction creates the terms that allow a worthy man or beast to transcend it. It is precisely through the effort to battle the inevitable that a man can prove himself. Indeed, a man can prove this determination over and over through the worthiness of the opponents he chooses to face. Santiago finds the marlin worthy of a fight, just as he once found “the great negro of Cienfuegos” worthy. HSantiago, though destroyed at the end of the novella, is never defeated. Instead, he emerges as a hero. Santiago’s struggle does not enable him to change man’s place in the world. Rather, it enables him to meet his most dignified destiny.
While it is certainly true that Santiago’s eighty-four-day run of bad luck is an affront to his pride as a masterful fisherman, and that his attempt to bear out his skills by sailing far into the gulf waters leads to disaster, Hemingway does not condemn his protagonist for being full of pride. On the contrary, Santiago stands as proof that pride motivates men to greatness. Because the old man acknowledges that he killed the mighty marlin largely out of pride, and because his capture of the marlin leads in turn to his heroic transcendence of defeat, pride becomes the source of Santiago’s greatest strength. Without a ferocious sense of pride, that battle would never have been fought, or more likely, it would have been abandoned before the end.
Santiago’s pride also motivates his desire to transcend the destructive forces of nature. Throughout the novel, no matter how baleful his circumstances become, the old man exhibits an unflagging determination to catch the marlin and bring it to shore. When the first shark arrives, Santiago’s resolve is mentioned twice in the space of just a few paragraphs. Even if the old man had returned with the marlin intact, his moment of glory, like the marlin’s meat, would have been short-lived. The glory and honor Santiago accrues comes not from his battle itself but from his pride and determination to fight.
Santiago dreams his pleasant dream of the lions at play on the beaches of Africa three times. The first time is the night before he departs on his three-day fishing expedition, the second occurs when he sleeps on the boat for a few hours in the middle of his struggle with the marlin, and the third takes place at the very end of the book. In fact, the sober promise of the triumph and regeneration with which the novella closes is supported by the final image of the lions. Because Santiago associates the lions with his youth, the dream suggests the circular nature of life. Additionally, because Santiago imagines the lions, fierce predators, playing, his dream suggests a harmony between the opposing forces—life and death, love and hate, destruction and regeneration—of nature.
This book gives me courage of conquering all kinds of difficulties .And I have the belief that the most beautiful thing is the process that we make our best to achieve our dream,and never say give up .

老人与海读后感英文
I have read many books, which I learned a lot of knowledge, let me know a lot of truth in life, including a book, let me experience a deep, it is a famous writer Ernest Hemingway wrote, ”Hits.“
”Hits“ This book talked about such a story, old fisherman Santiago de Cuba consecutive 84 days did not catch the fish, was another loser as a fisherman, but he was persistent, and finally caught a big marlin large Marlins his boat dragged on for three days at sea, exhausted, was tied to the boat he was killed on one side, and then Return Journey repeatedly been shark attacks, he has exhausted all means to counterattack. Back to Hong Kong only the head and a fish tail spine. Although the fish have bitten gone, but what can not destroy the will of his bravery. This book reveals to us a truth: people are not born to fail, and a person can be destroyed, but can not be defeated.
Before I do anything as long as there is one point does not work well, they will retreat, and sometimes even say a few words dejected to say. In learning, I have a few tests as long as there is not very good there will be no confidence that their getting good grades. ”Hits“, the hero fighting with the shark, shark harpoon was taken away, he put the knife blade tied to tie chaos. Knife broke, he used truncheons. Batons have lost, and he used the rudder to come to play. This book reveals the truth, not to explain a man no matter what my greatest fear is the lack of confidence. Confidence is like a motor car, is a human motivation. If you do one thing with the confidence, you mean half the battle. The hero in this book are full of confidence and perseverance, not exactly what I indispensable?
Since reading this book, I know that his lack of learning is no longer due to a loss of confidence in the two do not go well, but more poorly in an exam, the more to be a good test. In the final exam the day, the morning two homework results, I do not have a certain class of students is good, but I admit defeat, but confidence that the determination to fight a turnaround. Language examinations in the afternoon, I have done every Road topics are especially careful. Sure enough, I was class of the first language examinations, total score, I am also a first.
In the future, I do not care what difficulties we encountered, we must face with confidence, persist in the end, and never retreat. I want to thank the book, for which I have learned so much, thank it for me to understand so many reasons, for it let me know his own shortcomings and correct their shortcomings in time, so I became a socially useful people.
”Hits“, the lonely old fisherman Santiago has been not only be tough guy, his spiritual values embodied in the body is entirely the spirit of the ancient Greek tragedy, a modern echo. In the ”Hits“, the Hemingway finally for his beloved tough guy to find the soul, this soul is everlasting eternal values of mankind. Thus, in the ”Hits“, the tough-guy character of Santiago's fortitude has become the novel's surface. By Santiago tough-guy character to praise the eternal values of mankind, became the real theme of the novel. ”Hits“ and demonstrated what eternal value?
The first is people's self-confidence. Santiago consecutive 84 days at sea, and did not catch a fish. However, the ”pair of eyes, ah, like water, like blue, is happy, not depressed.“ Originally to follow Santiago on fishing expeditions children, spoke of his father called him to the other boat and said, : ”He did not much self-confidence.“ ”Yes.“ the old man said, ”But we have, you say is not it?“ Santiago in self-confidence is absolute self-confidence, is not to environmental change and changes in self-confidence, it does not compare with others, self-confidence. In Santiago's philosophy of existence, even when confronted with a pole of the unlucky people can only self-confidence. People alive, the only way to determine the necessity, that is, to death. In addition, there is no bound to what can rely on. Since the person is alive by chance, then the courage to support human life, the only confident. If we lose self-confidence, in the continuing unlucky so many days after the Santiago there is the courage and perseverance on fishing expeditions do? Therefore, people live to be confident, not self-confidence is for human consumption can not afford luxury. It is precisely because Santiago had an absolute self-confidence, he was called away to the children to express a complete tolerance and understanding. Here, Hemingway has demonstrated the link between self-confidence and tolerance. ”Hits“ in the main space, describing the lonely old fisherman Santiago, in the open sea and in large marlin and a variety of sharks entangled, fought for three days and three nights experience. By Hemingway fullest description, we felt the Santiago desperate struggle with the fate of the heroic and noble. Last drag home for the elderly only a 18 feet-long fish skeleton, the only complete skeleton is the head and beautiful fish tail. From the physical point of view, elderly people fought for three days and three nights a result of failure; but the human spirit, from the person's self-confidence self-esteem, courage and destiny from the human to make every effort to struggle for victory Santiago . After all, the true victory can only be a triumph of the spirit. No matter who made much material success, they can not win our respect and thanks. Only the spirit and the spirit of victory, it moves us, that we have to follow the elderly and children, for his tragic tears.
Recently,I read a famous novel”The Old Man and the Sea“,I learn many things from it.
Santiago -- a strong, not afraid of difficulties are not afraid of failure. Although he suffered a blow, but never gave up looking for hope. Although he was defeated, but never lose heart. Although he was at the Ma Lin fish mouth died, but can once again ignited the hope of victory.
Santiago is a Hemingway works in the vivid image of the fisherman. Santiago 84 days to have gained nothing, his tenacity and hard work, ushered in the eighty-fifth day of hope Dawn, ushered in the eighty-fifth days of sunshine. The eighty-fifth day, the old man out. In the vast sea of his persistence finally paid off: a marlin hooked.
The next four days, is the old man and the big marlin. The cold water is not afraid, not afraid of. He used his wisdom, to beat the big marlin victory.
After trying again and again, the old man finally beat the big marlin, he dared to challenge the failure. The old man and the sea's story tells us, just do not give up, one day you will be successful!
译文：
最近我读了一本著名的小说《老人与海》，我从中学到了很多东西。
桑提亚哥是一个在海明威笔下生动抽象的渔夫。桑提亚哥84天出海一无所获，他的顽强与拼搏，迎来了第85天充溢希望的拂晓，又迎来了第85天绚烂的阳光。第85天，老人出海了。在茫茫大海中他的坚持终于失掉报答：一条大马林鱼上钩了。
接上去的四天，便是老人与大马林鱼的比赛。寒风刺骨不怕，缺水也不怕。他运用本人的智慧，打败了大马林鱼迎来了成功。
经过一次又一次的尝试，老人终于打败了大马林鱼，他勇于向失败应战。老人与海的故事通知我们，只需不保持，总有一天你也会成功!
This semester, we saw the movie —《The old man and the sea》. The movie which was adapted from the novel written by Hemingway tells us a story about an old man fight against the nature.
The novel narrates an old fisherman named Santiago didn’t catch a fish after 84 days on the sea. Finally, he made a decision that going fishing to the unfamiliar sea area. Luckily, he discovered a huge marlin. After fierce fighting, he conquered the marlin despite he was exhausted. Drawn the short straw, the smell of marlin’s blood attracted the sharks. Sharks raided the old man and bit the meat of marlin. The old man resisted the attack from the sharks desperately. However, when he went back the harbor, there was only the marlin’s skeleton left. And there were many discussions about the skeleton among people in harbor.
Although the old man failed again and again, he was never disappointed. His calm showed us a matchless strong heart. Despite Santiago is old and miserable, he would never like to quit. He persisted in struggling with the destiny. Sometimes our destiny can not be dominated by us. But we can confront the fate optimistically and accept it calmly.
A man can be destroyed but not defeated. Though our human body can be tormented, our determination can never be encroached. The marlin is a
symbol of our dreams. Meanwhile, the sharks represent the setback which we can not avoid. The unpredictable sea looks like our realistic society where a great many people pursue their dreams unremittingly and never give up.
When we pursue our dreams and conquered, whether the marlin is complete or incomplete is nothing, because our significance of life has been reflected in the process of chasing the marlin. On the one hand, the old man is a loser, because his marlin was eaten by sharks at last. He got nothing in the end. On the other hand, Santiago is a winner that he didn’t compromise and surrender to the sea, marlin and sharks even if he has used all his weapons up. The old man was a lonely traveler on the dream road, but he is also not alone, because his strong will accompanies with him. No matter what result the old man got, his spirit is esteemed by us, because he brings us the great confidence that a brave man has.
Our life is full of rough and misfortune, only if we have a confident mind to meet the challenges bravely and tenaciously can we be real winners. We are supposed to believe the faith that a man is not born to be defeated. Even though we are faced with the unconquerable nature, we could also obtain moral victory. Maybe the result is failure. We could witness the procedure that an ordinary person becomes an upright man. Whatever the adversity is, we have to be indomitable and not to capitulate. We are supposed to believe that we can be destroyed but not
defeated.
Read the ”old man and the sea“， I was optimistic about the hero， brave and persistent ”tough guy“ image attracted deeply。
The hero Santiago is a ”bad luck“ for the elderly， for 84 consecutive days did not catch fish， the sea for eighty-fifth days， after two days and nights of fighting， finally captured the big marlin a more than 1500 pound。 However， the weather is unpredictable， on the voyage home， repeatedly attacked by a shark， the old man and the shark put up a good fight， the big marlin was eaten by a shark， a fish skeleton old man finally dragged home only a bare。 During this time， the old man， with extraordinary courage and amazing perseverance， endured the unbearable loneliness， hunger， fatigue， and pain， which surpassed the limits of man again and again。 But we do not see a drop of loser's tears， but clearly see the failure of the strong smile， he is a tough guy， is a hero who has failed。
This is a lonely journey， a man rowing a boat slowly towards the sea， was dragging a big fish without direction in the diffuse， plex ocean currents that floated around， frightening disorientation， like a person in the night in the forest to find a way out， only the elderly and self dialogue， and dialogue and fish。 The sea of dialogue。
Read in the big fish in a group of sharks smell blood， scramble to snatch a tour， the old man's left hand just in cramp， he could only use the right hand， with sticks， swordfish caught in the mouth and all can be used to attack weapons of self-defense， and ultimately get rid of the sharks。 But the flesh of the big fish has been eaten more than half， and the old man also humorously criticized his left hand， ”when the work is resting"， I was also impressed by the optimism of the elderly。 In life， some losses are inevitable， we should be optimistic attitude to treat， not haggle over every ounce。
Finally， the novel， with a young man， saw the old fisherman measuring the eighteen feet long marlin， describing the size of the fish again， indicating the difficulties the old fisherman had overe。
The novel praised the old fisherman dauntless struggle spirit， we will be like him， not satisfied with the status quo， application tendency， do anything to be unremittingly， encounter difficulties to the difficulties， never give up halfway。 Only in this way can we achieve greater success and success。
The Old Man and the Sea is one of Hemingway's most enduring works and may very well bee one of the true classics of this generation。(liuxue86。)It played a GREat part in his winning the Pulizer Prize in 1953 and the 1954 Novel Prize for Literature and confirmed his power and presence in the literary world。 Hemingway is also one of my favorite writers。 Besides The Old Man And the Sea， I have read some of his other works， such as The Sun Also Rises， A Farewell to Arms and The Snow of Kilimanijaro。 But The Old Man and the Sea is the one that left the deepest impression on me。
I first read this book when I was in my fifteens。 And now I remember it just as well as if I had read it yesterday。
Pride and Prejudice is a chefdoeuvre。
My first impression of this story was from screen。
It's long long ago， maybe before I can read english books。 I don't remember which movie edition I had seen。 But I was impressed by the music， the scenery and the costume。 I was very favor of a section of music in its balls。 It's pretty brisk， liked a wonderful song of a bird。 Regarding to the characters， I liked Elizabeth， the heroine，though I didn't think she's beautiful。 But she's smart。 However， I didn't pay much attention to the plot。 I thought it's so long that it made me impatient and bored。 By now， I haven't read the whole story in English or its Chinese version， either。 I owe it to my prejudice。
In fact， I didn't understand the story at that time。 I didn't know why it called Pride and Prejudice。 Of course someone was pride， but I didn't find where' s the prejudice。 I thought it's normal， the way people treated each other in that。 I considered prejudice would be very disgusting。 But to the movie everthing was OK in my minds， except its length。 Now， I think I have understood more about it。 I'm a prejudiced person so I can't find where's wrong。 I merely like to do the things I like。 Everytime I meet somebody or something，my thinking about he or it all depends on my foregone experience and my mood of the time。
