Main circumstance
Santiago, an old, weathered fisherman has just gone 84 days without catching a fish. On the 85th day, he is determined to catch a big, impressive fish. He set out alone .Finally, he caught a big marlin weighted about one 1 500 pounds of a foot.However,on his way home,many sharks came to his marlin one after another. Although the old man worked hard, but still can not resist the fierce attack from the sharks. When he returned to the shore, the big marlin leaves a huge skeleton.
•
A stronger who catches the belief to fight with fate will always stand with his own courage and perseverance, no matter how hard the life is.Although the fate is full of distress, he will never give in. He embodies the great spiritual strength of self-esteem and self-improvement.
Santiago is a loser who had win,and is a failed hero.
