and story depending on our interests. We can find one common thing in all types of books and that is nature. In all the books we read nature, feel nature and also enjoy the nature. The sea is the most important character of the nature. The sea is not only an exciting or romantic subject but sometimes it creates
thriller
adventures in one''s life. A trip at the sea shore or in the sea can change whole life of a person. If somebody expresses his own experiences in the form of words then that would be very thrilling for the readers too. In same line we will talk about a story of an
old man
struggling with the sea. "The Old Man and The Sea" is an old book of English literature. This story tells about an old fisherman who was born at the sea and passed away at the same sea shore. He was a lonely person and his life was dependent only on the sea. Only sea was his friend, Philosopher and guide. This story gives a true picture of the relationship of an old man and the sea. When the old man was moving far and far for fishing in the sea at that time the sea become his best friend to talk. Some time the sea was his philosopher because when he did not get any fish in eighty three days the sea was encouraging him for the fishing on the next day too. At the same time the sea was his cruel enemy also because it was offering him dangerous skin diseases. The old fisherman suffered from skin cancer from the reflection of the sun rays over sea water but he never hated the sea. He always loved him. Everything of the old man was old and used up except his eyes which were naughty and blue same like the filled with joy and enthusiasm to rule over the world. Once the old man spent eighty four days without any fish but did not loose his courage. Nobody was with him though he thought that next day will be my day and he continued traveling on the sea. After a struggle of eighty five days he saw a big whale caught by his net. At the same time the cool sea became a cruel one and the whole climate changed into a big storm. The old man was fighting with the sea for his survival and also to catch the whale for his livings. At last the fight ended up with the death of the old man but still he was not blaming the sea. This story of the old man is the story on the sea, about the sea and with the sea. Write your abstract here.
