ARW Blogging Assignment 6

The most useful approach to use in　critically analyzing The Old Man and the Sea by Earnest Hemingway is Santiago as Christ figure.
This is because there are many sentences which implies Chiristianity. For example, Manolin was with the old man for the first 40 days. It implies that the 40 days that Christ in the desert before his crucifixion. Also, the old man's hands were wounded like Christ's hands. The thing I thought it is the biggest thing which implies Christianity is the three days which the old man fought with the big fish. The three days is same as the Resurrection. I didn't aware of this point of view. However, if people knew this point of view, the people can read this book more critically.

The main character in The Old Man and the Sea are Santiago, a fisherman and Manolin, a boy who helps him.

Three adjective that describe Santiago are old, lonely, and kind.
I described old at first because he is thin and gaunt with deep wrinkles in the back of his neck and has blotches. The reason I described lonely is he doen't have wife and his child. Also, he is always alone and when he is not alone, he is with only Manolin. I described he is kind because the boy wants to fish with Santiago and Santiago wants to fish with the boy,too. However, he thought that's too danger for the boy and refuse his request.(pp.10) Therefore, I described that Santiago is old, lonely, and kind.

Three adjectives that describe Manolin are kind, young, and adult.
I described that he is kind at first because he always thinks and worries about Santiago. Also, he spreads blanket over the old man when he is sleeping and he helps with the old man's preparation for fishing. Second, I described that the boy is young. This is because he obeys his father because he is young. However, I described that he is adult. This is because when Martin, the boy's owner gives him the two sets of knives, forks, and spoons, Manolin had already thanked to the owner before Santiago thanked to the owner. That's why I thought he is adult though he is young. Therefore, I described that Manoline is kind, young, but adult.

That sentence support my thesis that there are a lot of situations that we should tell a lie to protect their selves and those they love unless it's unwillingness.

The suppoprting piece of evidence that I found for body paragraph 3 is quote from "TOEFL essay"-There are times when lying is acceptable. That quote supports my thesis to prove that there are good lying and there are situations that we had better tell a lie rather than tell a truth and often, it's necessary to tell a lie.
