【篇一：老人与海英文读后感1500字】
impression of “the old man and the sea”
when i was a middle school student, i’ve finished this book in chinese.but when i read it in english,i really gain something new both in the way of expression and the spirit it shows to us.may be different ages to read the same book we will learn different things from it.at least, for my part, that is true.
firstly,i would like to review some information about this book.such as the background,major characters and the topic of it.
the old man and the sea is a story by ernest hemingway, written in cuba in 1951 and published in 1952. it was the last major work of fiction to be produced by hemingway and published in his lifetime. one of his most famous works, it centers upon santiago, an aging cuban fisherman who struggles with a giant marlin far out in the gulf stream.[1]
the old man and the sea served to reinvigorate hemingways literary reputation and prompted a reexamination of his entire body of work. the novella was initially received with much popularity; it restored many readers confidence in hemingways capability as an author. its publisher, scribners, on an early dust jacket, called the novella a new classic, and many critics favorably compared it with such

works as william faulkners the bear and herman melvilles moby-dick.
this book gives me a deep impression especially the description about the man’s braveness and persistence.
in this book, in order to suggest the profundity of the old man’s sacrifice and the glory that derives from it, hemingway purposefully likens santiago to christ, who, according to christian theology, gave his life for the greater glory of humankind. crucifixion imagery is the most noticeable way in which hemingway creates the symbolic parallel between santiago and christ. when santiago’s palms are first cut by his fishing line, the reader cannot help but think of christ suffering his stigmata. later, when the sharks arrive, hemingway portrays the old man as a crucified martyr, saying that he makes a noise similar to that of a man having nails driven through his hands. furthermore, the image of the old man struggling up the hill with his mast across his shoulders recalls christ’s march toward calvary. even the position in which
santiago collapses on his bed—face down with his arms out straight and the palms of his hands up—brings to mind the image of christ suffering on the cross. hemingway employs these images in the final pages of the novella in order to link santiago to christ, who exemplified transcendence by turning loss into gain, defeat into triumph, and even death into renewed life.
the major characters in this book are also vivid and lively.
