PERSERVERANCE QUOTES

What I will do if he decides to go down, I don’t know. What I’ll do if he sounds and dies I don’t know. But I’ll do something. There are plenty of things I can do. (2.78) 

I could just drift, he thought, and sleep and put a bight of line around my toe to wake me. But today is eighty-five days and I should fish the day well. Just then, watching his lines, he saw one of the projecting green sticks dip sharply. (2.54, 2.55)

VALUES THAT YOU CAN SEE IN THE BOOK

THE OLD MAN AND THE SEA.

In the book the old man and the sea can see several values reflected among these we find the perseverance and loyalty.

We see how Santiago who is the protagonist, through her perseverance manages to get what is proposed but to be patient and strong change, we see is a man who despite being so major does not stop their goals and fight for them all the way through, this book we learn that perseverance can lead us far away is just a matter of wanting to do things.

Loyalty is one of the values that this book gives us because we see Manolín is the loyal companion, of Santiago this young boy every day want to accompany Santiago to fish, even if I know that that's not going to happen as fast but it is still a support for Santiago until the end of this is the best way to highlight the value of loyalty in this work.

It is perseverance

Perseverance is the ability to move forward despite the obstacles, difficulties, despair, boredom, frustration, or the own desires to surrender. The persevering person ends what has begun, try again after an initial failure, pursues its objectives and remains concentrated and working on homework.

Persistence is something that tends to be admired by others. Who didn't feel admiration for that runner who, despite being exhausted, unable to hardly move, continued to cross the finish line, demonstrating a great spirit of struggle and overcoming.

It's the loyalty

Do what with what one is committed even among changing circumstances. A value without which we are left alone, and that we must live before anyone else.

Loyalty is a virtue that develops our awareness. She leads us deeply into a situation, through this, and toward the exit on the other side, emerging as a more evolved person.

Loyalty is a match, an obligation that you have with others. It is a commitment to defend what we believe and who we believe. Loyalty is a value, because who is traitor is left alone. When we are loyal, we managed to bring friendship and any other relationship to its deeper stage.

CAUSE AND EFFECT.

The fight develops, since we have said, in the loneliness of the sea, surrounded with water and with fish that do not sting, but he finds in everything the nobility, dignity and beauty of a full life, in which each one gains that one for what it fights.

He does not believe that it could be defeated "The man is not done for the defeat. A man can be destroyed, but not defeated ", because before it will be destroyed: the fight, as that of a Greek hero against his tragic destination, gives moral height to the personage, enclosedly beauty; it fights against the fish, his "brother", in whom he finds also nobility and dignity, because it fights to survive, expecting to obtain a victory that the life was denying to him till then; but it fights against the sharks even knowing that nothing will achieve, that only there will stay the testimony of which it had achieved it; it fights in spite of the pain and the desperation, because it knows that only it is the life.

CONFLICTS.

 The protagonist, the old Santiago, which has known better times, is defeated by the life (it lives in a wretched situation, from Manolin's charity to the beginning of the story), though it continues in his daily fight (the fishing, even if it has not fished anything throughout 84 days). Something is in this old fisherman, his dignity of being a human being, who makes to him be respected by the boy (and for some inhabitants of the village, since we see ultimately).

It lives in almost complete loneliness, surrounded only with recollections (and between them his knowledge of the baseball would be also), and is employed now at loneliness (constant he throws in lack the boy in his work), because for all it is the defeated one. He still believes in yes same (85 it might be his number of the luck), since his combat in the life is noble and waits to be corresponded.

SETTING.

The fundamental space of the statement, the sea, is also a protagonist. For this we can affirm that in the "Old man and the sea” the exterior spaces prevail. There is no presence of a meticulous description of the sea, she cannot be, but the narrator, across the look of the old fisherman, speaks constant about the wind direction, about the breeze, about the reflex of the sea, about the harmful effect of the Sun on his eyes, about the fish that they find in him. We know that it is a question of the Caribbean Sea - since the action happens in Cuba, near Havana.

Also one refers to some interior space; in I make concrete, the cabin in which the fisherman lives. Of this one it is said that one was finding way arrives from the shore of the sea. It is a hut of only a quarter, which has a table, a chair, a bed and a place to cook with coal. The local poverty speaks to us also about the social condition of the protagonist, a poor fisherman who does not have to buy either food or fodders to go fishing. The cabin places in a people close to Havana, of which there are named other houses and the Terrace, the local bar.
