The Old Man and the Sea: Part Four

Pages 76-101
Summary: In this section of the book, we have the same OLD story line for half of the reading. He is trying to catch the fish, wishing for the boy, tryin to catch the fish..........
Then the fish starts to jump, and circle. Then the old man is able to pull him to the side of the boat, tie him up, and KILL him. GROSS!!!!
Then a shark catches the scent of the old mans blood, and starts to follow them. All of a sudden.... HE ATTACKS. and that is the end of the reading.
Connection: this reminds me of teenage years. We always wait and wait to grow up. And then it hits us like a ton of rocks. And we have no idea how to handle it.
Inference: The old man is going to be able to fight off the shark. Then he will pull in the fish and be able to make money. Give himself a better life.
