Santiago, an old Cuban fisherman, has not caught a fish for 84 days. On this day, he met with good luck. He caught a huge marlin. He twisted six sets of ropes together to drag the fish, and almost broke the rope. Just as the old man was happy to go home, he met a shark. Sharks keep attacking big fish. The old man struggled with the shark alone on the boat, beating, poking and stabbing, exhausted. Sharks still eat all the places where big fish can eat. The old man dragged the huge fish skeleton back to the shore. But the old man said, "People are not used to be defeated." You can destroy a man, but you can't defeat him. "The old man's words became the spiritual symbol of the image of" tough guy "in American literature.

Santiago fought bravely with sharks;
The first shark quickly approached the stern and attacked the marlin. The old man tried his best to stab the shark in the head with a harpoon. The shark turned over several times and wrapped itself around the rope prepared by the old man. The old man knew that the shark was dying. The more it struggled, the tighter the rope stretched until it broke. The shark lay quietly on the water for a while. The old man stared at it, and then it slowly sank to the bottom of the sea.
Two sharks came together. When he saw the close one with his mouth open inserted into the belly of the dead fish, he held the short stick high and chopped it hard at the shark's broad head. When the short stick fell, he felt as if he had touched a hard piece of rubber. When the shark slipped off the dead fish, he gave it a heavy blow on the tip of the nose.
The shark pulled the dead fish with its mouth under the sailboat. The old man loosened the rigging and the shark emerged from the bottom of the boat as it passed by. As soon as he saw the shark, he poked it in with an oar. But it only stung the meat, and the old man's hand was injured. The shark floated up quickly, revealing its head. The old man stabbed him twice in the middle of the head and stabbed him in the left eye. The shark is still hanging there. The old man stabbed a knife between the spinal cord and the brain, and the shark's rib was broken. The old man put the paddle between the shark's jaws and the shark let go.
At midnight, sharks came in droves. The old man is going to fight again. He hit the stick regardless of his life, and the stick was bitten by a shark. He hit and split with the tiller, but the sharks jumped up one after another and he split head on. The tiller was broken again and again, and he poked the shark with the broken handle. As soon as the shark let go, it rolled over and swam away. This is the last shark. They have nothing to eat anymore.
