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.
