"I enjoyed the Old Man And The Sea because it gave me a way to escape the modern world and the troubles of the world. It helped me to realize that the world is not all about violence and drugs." |

"One of the sticks on Santiago's lines dips down deep. A fish pulls on it and Santiago immediately knows which fish he has hooked: a giant marlin, 100 fathoms below, which is eating the sardines around the line. The fish begins to drag the skiff far out into the northwest of the Gulf. As he's towed by the fish, the old man says: I wish I had the boy." |
