THE OLD MAN AND THE SEA

When I was a student at the University in Mongolia, the literature teacher talked to students about a book of Ernest Hemingway. This classic nobel was called ‘The old man and the sea’.
Since that time, I really wanted to read that classic book. So, many years ago, I read ‘The old man and the sea’ in English, but I never forgot it and I clearly remember the fisherman. He had deep wrinkles in his face and neck, clothes, barefoot and his all possessions.
The old man was going alone on the ocean, he ate Tuna, with lemon water, but he was very strong, clearly his head and powerful. He dreamed every day; I want to catch a big fish, and he had hooked a huge fish one day, he was very happy. The huge fish was 1,500 pounds. It was bigger than his skiff. When he was going to take the huge fish home he hurt his hands, shoulders and back, in rope. Blood was running from his hands, shoulders and back.
So, lots of sharks came to them and began to eat from tail of the huge fish. The fisherman had been fighting that with the sharks and he hit the sharks heads. He killed lots of sharks by knife and harpoon. When he was fighting with the sharks, he lost his the knife and harpoon. So, he had no weapons, other sharks came again to them. The fisherman came home with only the huge fish’s backbone asnd dark mass of the head.
The old man was a very, very old man, but he was still brave powerful and very strong. He was able to catch the huge fish himself.
For the ‘The old man and the sea’, Ernest Hemingway was awarded the Nobel Prize for literature in 1954.
