老人与海的英语读后感1

　　A man is not born for failure. One can destroy, but not defeat.

　　A simple story, a simple old fisherman, a big marlin, on the vast sea, staged a seemingly simple and extraordinary story.

　　It tells the story of an old fisherman named San Diego who came across a surprisingly large marlin after 84 days without a fish. After three days and three nights of battle, the old man finally killed the big marlin. On the return voyage, however, the shark was attacked by the shark, and the old man bravely fought the shark, but when he returned to the harbor, the huge marlin was left with a bare skeleton.

　　One can fail, but not defeat, the external body can accept it, but the inner will is sacrosanct, which is the argument of the old man and the sea. The big marlin is like what we pursue, that a group of sharks are inevitable doom, unpredictable sea is like a kaleidoscope, the fickleness of human society, there are plenty of people are like the old man, brave to capture their petitions, never say die.

　　When you work hard to pursue their own want to pursue or conquer yourself to conquer, whatever finally caught a full marlin or an empty skeleton, which all have already doesn't matter, because a person's life value has been fully reflected in the process of chasing marlin. He has been striving for his ideal, and he is not a winner. The old fisherman is a winner who dares to challenge his own shortcomings and his courage and confidence. From the perspective of the secular concept of victory, the old fisherman is not a final winner, because although he beat the big marlin start, but in the end the big marlin or let the shark eat, he is just with the big marlin at the back to the shore, that is to say, the shark is the winner. However, in the eye of the idealist, the old fisherman was the winner, for he had never been to the sea, nor to the great marlin, nor to the shark, and to surrender.

　　So one can destroy, but not defeat, never say die!

　　I'm sure everyone has read the world literature book of the old man and the > >. If you haven't read it, never mind, let me be your guide!

　　Perennial mainly tells the story of the book: an old man was alone in sea fishing. Once he fell into a big fish, but encountered on the way back to groups of sharks. The old man to work hard and fight sharks, sharks eat can eat meat all over. The old man dragged back just a pair of big fish skeleton.

　　In life, we encounter difficulties and may face difficulties. But also difficulties. Such as zhang haidi aunt, her feet as a child is disabled, but she did not succumb to frustration, but in a positive, optimistic, confident attitude to challenge the setbacks. She put the words every day on the head of a bed, wall, kitchen... After zhang haidi aunt of unremitting efforts, she finally overcome setbacks, but also won the honor, made its own contribution for our country. Lu xun once said: "the great breadth of view, should show such spirit - with smiling face to meet the fate of the tragic with confidence in the courage to cope with his own misfortune." yes! When we encounter bad luck and misfortune, instead of complaining about the injustice of our fate, we may as well summon up the courage and spirit to fight against adversity with fortitude.

　　Isn't that the same for old people? Old man can't be any difficultly, he is doing his best and tribulations do indomitable struggle of life. The old man also said that the doctor gives me the most memorable words: "a man is not born to defeat, you can destroy him, but can't beat him." when you meet with difficulties, you must not be tamed by setbacks! In a person's life can not without failure, but if we can get beneficial experience from the failure, found signs of success, the only way to see failure as a success by fellow. It is from the failure to obtain the biggest harvest. Chairman MAO zedong once said: "failure is the mother of success." the former President of the United States Lincoln life encountered numerous failures and blow. However, his courage. He unemployment in 0832, after he passed 13 campaign, but there are 12 times the campaign was a failure. He is the last time, that is, when the 0860 Lincoln was elected President of the United States finally, he finally succeeded, this is a how happy thing, his efforts finally paid off.

　　We meet with setbacks, we should be brave to face, in the face of hardship going. We have this kind of selfless courage, not afraid of difficult, there are spiritual strength to conquer the difficulties. As Goethe said: "if you lose money, you just lost a little; If you lose your honor, you lose a lot. If you lose your courage, you lose everything.

　　Now we work hard, they never give up their spirit to move and inspire us.

老人与海的英语读后感5

　　I readwhen I was in junior middle school. At that time I do not know why the old man persists to take dentuso back. It’s so dangerous to fight with sharks. But he did not give up.

　　But now I’m really proud of Santiago. He is so bra一ve and persevering. “But a man is not made for defeat” he said “A man can be destroyed but not defeated.”

　　Santiago was old just as Hemingway said “Everything about him was old except his eyes and they were the same color as the sea and were cheerful and undefeated.” He think every day is a new day. No matter how old he is. He said “It’s better to be lucky. But I would rather be exact. Then when luck comes you are ready.”

　　Santiago was poor; he had nothing except a little boat and harpoon. But he said “Now is no time to think of what you do not ha一ve. Think of what you can do with what there is.”

　　Santiago was alone. Mandolin can not go to sea with him because of his parents. He catches fishes alone. He fights with sharks alone. He can talk to nobody except himself. No one will help him.

　　But even though he faced hungry; weary and difficulty alone, he does not give up.

　　Somebody said Santiago was a failure. Because at last he said he wishes that it had been a dream and the boy cried for him can really approve it.

　　In this way I think Santiago was a lucky person. Because he still had Mandolin. The boy loved him and pitied him. If Mandolin had no money his own, he begged or stole to make sure that Santiago had enough to eat and fresh baits for his lines. The old man accepts his kindness with humility that was like a quiet kind of pride.

　　I think Santiago is a hero and he is not a failure. Because catch fish is a part of his life and it is the memory of his mind and he catch a really big fish back at last. The value of his life was completely reflected in the way he catch fish. He is the real winner in his own world.

　　After I think about this book and Santiago. I realized that I’m not bra一ve enough. I can not stay hopeful when I face laugh and indifferent. And I don’t ha一ve enough courage to do what I want to do. I’m so afraid of this world. I’m so afraid of the people’s words who speak it behind my back. I’m so cowardly and that’s the reason I always lose.

　　Now I know what to do. Don’t mind others. Be myself. I need possess the quality of reason and shay cheerful and undefeated. Be kind and happy. Be strong and optimistic.

　　I was very favor of a section of music in its balls. It’s pretty brisk, liked a wonderful song of a bird. Regarding to the characters, I liked Elizabeth, the he-ro-in-e,though I didn’t think she’s beautiful. But she’s smart.

　　However, I didn’t pay much attention to the plot. I thought it’s so long that it made me impatient and bored. By now, I haven’t read the whole story in English or its Chinese version, either. I owe it to my prejudice. In fact, I didn’t understand the story at that time. I didn’t know why it called Pride and Prejudice. Of course someone was pride, but I didn’t find where’ s the prejudice. I thought it’s normal, the way people treated each other in that. I considered prejudice would be very disgusting. But to the movie everthing was OK in my minds, except its length. Now, I think I have understood more about it.

　　I’m a prejudiced person so I can’t find where’s wrong.

　　I merely like to do the things I like. Everytime I meet somebody or something,my thinking about he or it all depends on my foregone experience and my mood of the time.

老人与海的英语读后感8

　　The old man Santiago from The Old Man and the Sea is a character seen in many perspectives, as a hero, an ordinary fisherman, an unlucky old man, and a wise man. Throughout the novella he is made out as a person of motivation, passion, and hope. Despite what others do or do not think he is a man of action, and not one consumed by regret. The young and old villagersa? view of Santiago is an important one, but not a differentiating one.

　　The villagers are split into two groups. The older fishermen that respect Santiago and wish him luck, and the younger fishermen that see him as little more than bad luck. While neither group is particularly important to the plot, each of their views sets an ambiance of Santiagoa?s forthcoming adventure. Without their views Santiago would be little more than a lucky old fisherman.

　　Santiago has a resolute grip upon reality and lives by it. He sees himself as a man with little direction but enough determination and experience to live. He chose not to see what others thought but instead lived by how he perceived the world. His constant struggles and his persistent resolve to overcome the marlin and himself show his earnest desires to live and fish.

　　The boy is a crucial element to Santiagoa?s world. Manolin is always at the edge of Santiagoa?s mind when he thinks of convenience. At times with the fish, Santiago thinks to the boy and then to his own lack of ability. He may deny it, but at times it is his relationship with the boy that both makes him realize he needs help, and compels him to go on.

　　Christian imagery and concepts are important assets to the old fishermana?s personality. He is seen as a kind man, and although expresses his frustration towards certain points, only conveys his anger towards the evil representation of the sharks. His kind, infinite eyes, and he carrying his mast like Jesus and his cross only augment his Christ-like personage. His loneliness and greatness are both shown as Manolin is assigned a new boat after 40 days with Santiago, the same length of time as Christ spent in the wilderness.

　　Santiagoa?s change at the end of the novella turns him into almost a universal hero. By being at sea, his ventures were never limited and the events of the story just seemed to happen. After he rebukes himself for his arrogance with the marlin, Santiago goes home and dreams of the lions playing in Africa, signaling a cycle of a child-like rebirth through Manolin.

　　Throughout the story many aspects can be found about Santiagoa?s personality merely by the content of his 3-day fight with the marlin. The ideology that encompasses the story is only consumed by Santiagoa?s pure will to persevere. Certainly Santiago is a man of many themes and personality traits.

　　I believe that in the past three decades, the way society has treated he elderly has remained primarily the same. Some younger citizens have looked up to the elderly with respect, yet most continue to shun them and

　　consider them useless and hopeless in a society such as ours. I think that the elderly population is continually losing respect from the new generations. Santiago, the elderly man in the novel The Old Man and the Sea, is respected by a young boy, Manolin, yet he is also looked down upon

　　by many of the younger fishermen in the Cuban fishing village where he lives. This book is set in the late 1930"s and, I as I see it, shows that societies all around the world have had a decline in respect for the older people in their environment since the beginning of the nineteenth century.

　　An enormous number of issues have changed since Santiago"s time, allowing the elderly to have the ability to do more in their old age and live in areas specifically designed for their needs. However, there is still an enormous lack of respect for the older people in society, and it is becoming worse every day. Younger citizens of our country make fun of older people, call them names, and believe that they are incapable of doing most things that the younger ones are capable of doing. When we believe they can no longer support themselves, we place our elderly relatives into retirement homes and old folks" homes as many call them. Sometimes they, themselves, do not wish to go to such a place, but we force them to, which many times is the wrong choice. Some younger people help the elderly, though, and try to support them, but few of these people can be found. It is a fact that when people get beyond a certain age, their memories begin depleting and they atrophy physically. However, as Santiago shows in the novel, older people have much knowledge about the world around them and enough strength to make it through hard situations if they are determined and have the will and courage to believe in a better tomorrow.

　　In Santiago"s community, it is shown that their is still a natural respect for elders, as is seen in Manolin"s support of the old man. He was one of the dying breed that truly looked up to his elders and regarded their feelings and experiences with much respect. He greatly aided Santiago by giving him support and courage and helping him through every day chores. Their are still some people with such feelings in the world today, yet many have had their opinions swayed by others and begin to think badly of the elderly.

　　Their is also a lack of respect for Santiago and the elderly in the novel, which can be found in the actions of the young fisherman. Some laugh at him when he passed by, and some thought of him to be too old to be a fisherman. They believed he was not in good enough shape to catch a fish, yet it was only his bad luck that deterred him from doing such a thing. He was much better and more exact than most of the other fisherman in the village, yet they could not see past his age to view his accomplishments.

　　I think the false beliefs about the weakness of the elderly can be turned around only if society looks much harder at their abilities and their goals. We must begin to see that although they may not have great physical strength, they still have a mind that is capable of many things. Their are many jobs that they can hold in the workplace and many things they can do to help society of which we, the younger generation, are not aware. We must realize that they have gone through many experiences that we have not and that they hold a vast amount of knowledge about the world around them. There will come a time when one"s age does not determine the value of one"s life, but we can change that dream to reality only if we try.
