Answer 1

No book has ever influenced me so much as The old Man and the Sea It is a novelette by Ernest Hemingway about a fisherman named Santiago who finally proved himself a hero by his courage perseverance and confidence After eighty-four days of unsuccessful fishing the weather-beaten yet well-experienced old man decided to go into the Gulf Stream to catch a big fish Thus on the eighty-fifth day he went aloe in his skiff and hooked a big marlin After struggling with it for two days and two nights he at last killed the big fish Exhausted but happy he returned with the fish Exhausted but happy he returned with the fish lashed to the skiff but on his homeward journey both he and the fish were attacked by sharks and upon his arrival at the harbor in Havanaz there was nothing but the big skeleton of the fish to prove his heroism at sea At the close of the story I was deeply struck by the iron will of the protagonist."A man is not made for defeat," said the old man."A man can be destroyed but not defeated." Such words are a fillip to me when I look back on my failure in the entrance examination last year.I was then so upset that I even questioned the meaning of existence.Yet the Hemigway book brings home to me the truth of the saying "Failure is the mother of success," which I have never taken seriously before.I also know that the will to struggle is what counts,not the result thereof.With the understanding that no man is perfect,I regain the confidence in my ability to study harder.I believe I can make it this year.
