OLD MAN IN THE SEA

Part 1: Santiago was a fisherman and at the end of the 84 day without catching a fish... He was ready to give up. But like any good fisherman, he kept at it. Because he knew he had to in order to put food on the table

Part 2: From Santiago waking Manolin at the start of the eighty-fifth day since Santiago has caught a fish to Santiago’s promise to kill the marlin before the day ends. Odds are he won't just catch a marlin out of nowhere... But all fisherman know, that anything can happen. Especially when you least expect it.

Part 3:
From Santiago’s encounter with the weary warbler to his decision to rest after contemplating the night sky, he did not know if he should stay out or not. But he just couldn't stop thinking about his promise to himself about catching the marlin. But he also knew that safety was most important.

Part 4: From the marlin waking Santiago by jerking the line to Santiago’s return to his shack. Then the fish came alive, with his death in him, and rose high out of the water showing all his great length and width and all his power and his beauty.

Part 5: Early the next morning, Manolin comes to the old man’s shack, and the sight of his friend’s ravaged hands brings him to tears. He goes to get coffee. Fishermen have gathered around Santiago’s boat and measured the carcass at eighteen feet. Manolin waits for the old man to wake up, keeping his coffee warm for him so it is ready right away. When the old man wakes, he and Manolin talk warmly. Santiago says that the sharks beat him, and Manolin insists that he will work with the old man again, regardless of what his parents say. He reveals that there had been a search for Santiago involving the coast guard and planes. Santiago is happy to have someone to talk to, and after he and Manolin make plans, the old man sleeps again. Manolin leaves to find food and the newspapers for the old man, and to tell Pedrico that the marlin’s head is his. That afternoon two tourists at the terrace café mistake the great skeleton for that of a shark. Manolin continues to watch over the old man as he sleeps and dreams of the lions.

Part 6: After all that god decided to take Santiago as his own... But what can I say he died doing what he loved. You can't complain.
