the old man and the sea

i am currently reading the old man and the sea, by ernest hemingway. So far the old man has sailed out into the deeper water to fish for some big fish. He has gone 85 days without catching a single big fish, but he is staying optimistic. Finally he hooks a huge fish that drags him way out to see for over a day. I have just gotten to the point where the fish has begun to circle the boat and the old man is finally pulling him in. I have really enjoyed this book so far because it uses very simple language that the reader can really understand. He also uses language that an old man living in Cuba might use. It’s also really interesting when Ernest Hemingway throws in some Spanish words. I always like that because I can learn some new vocabulary in new languages. I have also been learning a lot about how he fishes, and the lifestyles of poor Cuban fishermen in the 1950’s. I really enjoy learning about the lifestyles of different people in different time periods. It is also a fun way of learning about that kind of thing when you are reading a cool interesting story. Ernest Hemingway does a really good job of getting you into the old mans mind and feeling what he is feeling. When the old man is being dragged out to sea by the huge fish, Hemingway gets into the old mans mind and tells you how relaxed the man is and what he is thinking about.

the old man and the sea

i am currently reading the old man and the sea, by ernest hemingway. so far this book has been very good and exciting. I really like it when an author writes a book that jumps right into the action and excitement. In this book, Hemingway jumps right in to the action. When an author jumps right on in to the action it really hooks the reader, and they just can’t put the book down. Last night when I was reading, I tried to put it down and go to sleep, but I couldn’t do it, and I picked it back up and started to read it again. I really like the way Ernest Hemingway writes this book. He uses a lot of descriptive word to put a good picture in the readers mind. When I read a book it has to be very descriptive because I really like it when I can see an image in my mind of what is happening. Hemingway does an excellent job of doing just that. When I was reading last night I could see the old man rowing his boat out to sea because of the great descriptive words he uses. I also enjoy reading a book where the author shows you what the main character is thinking. In this book, Hemingway writes a lot of paragraphs from the viewpoint of the old man and what he is thinking about as he fights this huge fish. It is always interesting to see what the characters are thinking.

the old man and the sea

i am about to read the old man in the sea, by ernest hemingway. i am really looking forward to reading this book. One of the reasons I really want to read this book is because I really like ernest hemingway. I have read several books by him and I have liked them all a whole lot. I really like the way he writes and would like to continue to read books by him. Another reason I want to read this book is because many people have recommended this book to me. My dad has read a lot of ernest hemingway’s books and he said this was his favorite one. I think that the books I have already read were great, so I want to see if this one is as good as the others. another reason I want to read this book is because I really enjoy reading about fish or fishing. I have done a decent amount of fishing in my life and I really love fish, so I find anything to do with fish very interesting. I find the plot of the old man and the sea very intriguing because I enjoy reading about just average guys trying to make a living. This book is about a poor fisherman and I think a story about that could be really interesting and I look forward to reading it. Right now I have very high expectations about this book because of all of the recommendations and compliments it has received.

Black Hawk Down

i have just finished the book, Black Hawk Down. this book has really changed my outlook towards the army and what happens to those soldiers when they are in the middle of a fight. mark bowden does a great job of making you understand the feelings of the soldiers and he rights it in a way that you can almost see what they are seeing. before i read this book i would read a war book and i would not really understand what they were feeling and how close they were to dying. after i read this book i cant read another war book the same because bowden did such a great job of describing it. he doesn't leave anything out. he describes the sights and smells of the city very well. another thing about his descriptions is how he never leaves anything out of the description. he will tell you what color the car that the soldiers are hiding behind and what color the houses around them are. he really gets into the minds of the soldiers and then does a great job translating into words for his readers to read. he gets you to feel scared when they are scared and sad when a man is shot. when you read the book you can't help but keep reading because it is so exciting. i strongly recomend this book to anyone who likes action and a gripping tale. you just can't put the book down once you start because of how exciting it is. he gets you hooked right away by jumping straight into the action instead of going on and on about stupid political stuff.
