The Old Man and the Sea by Ernest Hemingway tells the story of Santiago, an old fisherman who hasn't caught a fish in 84 days. On his 85th day, he hooks a large marlin and battles it for three days. Even though his body was tired But eventually Santiago was able to catch a fish. But was attacked by a shark on the way home. Only his skeleton remains. Even if the fight takes place with bare hands But the Battle of Santiago is also a reflection of perseverance, struggle and human dignity. It emphasizes the importance of effort and patience. Even though loss is inevitable.
