Blogging Assignment 5 (ARW)

The main characters in Old Man and the Sea are Santiago, a fisherman and Manolin, a boy who helps him.

Three adjectives that describe Santiago are cool, proud and economical.

From page 11, line 6. "many of the fisherman made fun of the old man and he was not angry". It means that he does not mind what others said. So he is a really cool guy.

And next, from page 10 , when the old man tells boy that "stay lucky boat". He didn't want to be worried by boy and he was not like that so he is kind of proud. At the last, from page18, line 22. "His shirt had been patched so many times that it was like the sail and the patches were faded to many different shades by the sun". It describe that Santiago is a man who are really economical. Those three are the Santiago's characters.

Two adjectives that describe Manolin are kind and loyal.

From first part of the book, old man couldn't get any fish for 84 days. But Manolin didn't give the old man away and he wanted to stay with his boat. So it describes Manolin is really kind. And also, he is loyal because he did not forget old man's kindness and he believe the old man that his father because of his youth experiences. Those two is the charactaristic of Manolin.
