ARW Blog Assignment5 OMS Question1

The main characters in Old Man and the Sea are Santiago, a fisherman and Manolin, a boy who helps him.

Three adjectives that describe Santiago are patient, mature and lonely. First of all, the old man never give up when he couldn't catch any fishies for a long time, and he didn't get anry many of the fishermen made fun of the old man(P11 of the text). So I think that he is patient man. Secondly, he is mature man because, he live and he is fisherman for a long time and he had many experiences. Besides he say "I may not be as strong as I think. But I know many tricks and I have resolition."(P23) I can guess that the old man is confident man as a fisherman, and he have tough mind by reading this sentence. From these reasons, he is mature fisherman and mature person. Finaly, he is lonly person. We can guess this from text.He may not have wife and boy loves and suport him but, the old maan understand that the boy is his father's. So, they are familiar, but the old man is lonly person in real because the boy is not his son.

Two adjectives that describe Manolin are kindherted, understandable. First one of the boy's charactors is kindherted. He always worry about the old man and he always help him.for example, he help to bring tool of fishing, he give santiago some baits or he cook meal for santiago. So he is very kind boy. Second one of charactors of him is understandable. He love the old man but he obey his farther's order that he should take a luky boat.I think he may love santiago more than his father, but he understunds that he have to obey his parents because he is still child. Moreover he can guess a lying of old man about food but he doesn't point it. He may want to guard pride of santiago. from these reasons, I guess that monolin can be consider.So he is understandable boy.
