THE INTERPRETATION OF ‘THE OLD MAN AND THE SEA’
The man gets his own style name. That’s because Hemingway is famous for his style: the short, truthful sentences, the declarative nature of the words – Hemingway popularized this at a time when people were pepper parenthetical prepositional phrases into their work like there was no tomorrow. It’s as though everyone else was painting huge oil canvases, and Hemingway drew a penciled sketch that was somehow better than all the other works of the time. Most good stories start with a basic list of ingredient: the initial situation, conflict, complication, high point, tension, end, and conclusion. Great writers sometimes shake up the recipe and add some spice. For a three-act plot analysis, put on your screenwriter’s hat. Moviemakers know the method well: at the end of Act One, the main character is drawn in completely to a conflict. During Act Two, she is extreme away from her goals. At the end of Act Three, the story is set on.
Santiago doesn’t get any fish for 84 days and so people believed him as an unlucky man.
GOD VS LUCK
