Page 102-THE END
FINALLY the book is over. After Santiago catches the big fish, he starts to head back to his town. Then he is attacked by a shark. And another shark, and another shark and what the heck another shark. By the time he gets back to shore, there is nothing but a skeleton. But, it happens to be the biggest skeleton ever seen in the small town. The old man goes back to his life of reading the baseball and sleeping in the shack.
Connection: I think everyone has had an experience like this. You work yourself up and then it turns around and you don't get what you want. But in the end there is always a point to the disappointment.
