ARW Blogging Assignment 6

The most useful approach to use in critically analyzing The Old Man and the Sea by Ernest Hemmingway is Santiago as a Christ Figure. This is because Santiago was fishing 3days without eating enough foods. Santiago is old, so that is a too dificult thing, but he could and surviving. This is why I think that.

The main characters in Old Man and the Sea are Santiago, a fisherman and Manolin, a boy who helps him.

Three adjectives that describe Santiago are 1)unlucky, 2)poor and 3)unhealthy.
That is because
1)"he had gone eighty-four days now without taking a fish."(P1,L2)
2)"There was no cast net"(P8,L16),"There was no pot of yellow rice and fish"(P8,L18),"His shirt had been patched so many times"(P10,L22)
3)"The old man was thin and gaunt with deep wrinkles in the back of his neck."(P1,L15)

The old man has many skills, but thanks to his unlucky, he couldn't get
fishes. So he became poor and unhealty.

Two adjectives that describe Manolin are 1)kind, 2)immature

1)"The boy took the old army blanket off the bed and spread it over the back of the chair and over the old man's shoulders."(P10,L16), "I must get him another shirt and a jacket for the winter and some sort of shoes and another blanket."(P13,L6)
2)"It was papa made me leave. I am a boy and I must obey him."(P2,L21)

Manolin is so kind and he loves Santiago very much, so he want to be with him, but because he is young, he can't stay with him all time.

Blog Assignment 1

 According to Meiland, a "good" college teacher presents information in the following way. The teacher presents some information of "what is currently believed." Yet they also spend much time talking about the basis on which this information is currently believed. So they give chances that think about the thing deeply, for students.
 I agree with this idea. Because I think it is not good to believe one thing. If someone thinks new things, there are no developments. Who is someone? Don't depend on others. It is us, students! Students need the thought to suspect everythings, and colleges are good places to think things deeply. So that is why I agreed with this idea.
