前一段时间读了《老人与海》深有感触，《老人与海》是海明威于1951年在古巴写的一篇中篇小说，于1952年出版。《老人与海》是海明威最著名的作品之一，他讲述了一位常年在海上打渔的老人。有一次他钓到了一条大鱼，但他在返回的路上遇上了成群的的鲨鱼，老人使出浑身解数与其搏斗，但最后还是失败了，鲨鱼把肉全吃掉了，结果老人拖着一副大鱼骨架回去了。
小说的全部时间非常紧凑，前后只有四天：出海的前一天，一老人从海上归来为引子，让周围的人物一个个出场，交代了他们与老人之间的关系：一个热爱他，跟他在一起学习钓鱼的孩子马诺林;一对非常自私的父母;一群尊敬他，但永远不能理解他的.打渔人;一个关心他的酒店老板。老人就生活在这样的人物群体中，相比之下，他与众人有着明显的不同，他很乐观，心胸开阔，是个经验丰富、充满信心、勤劳勇敢、富于冒险、热爱生活的纯朴的古巴渔民。同时，这种轮辐式结构还能产生线索清晰明了、中心集中突出、故事简洁明快的效果。
老人说：“一个人并不是生来就要给打败的，你可以消灭它，却不能打败他。”这种永不言败的精神激励着我们，我们不应该学习这样的精神吗?
