The Old Man and the Sea by Ernest HemingwayMy review
rating: 4 of 5 stars
My first experience in Hemingway. I found it to be poetic and now I finally have the semblance of appreciation for this renown author that I should have had long ago. This book, in my opinion, is a metaphor for the frivolity of life. That we are all in our own way fishing for our one most amazing thing and through our troubles and toils even to the point of death we can indeed catch our dreams. However, despite our strengths, years of waiting, and even our successes our dreams will remain our accomplishments known greatest to only ourselves. However, the truth of our living accomplishments will also be known to those closest to us and will empower others to not only find success where we fell short but chase after bigger and better dreams.
