Old Man And The Sea


This part of the story has to do with Santiago against nature and

man' and he calls Manolin `boy' which seems to be absurd. In that

situation I would consider both of them to go see a doctor. The next

relationship to talk about would be that between Santiago and the

village, which seems to be much better. He is given credit for food and

he also is waiting to show his greatness to the villageby catching a

great fish as soon as he can. His thought on that, though, is that any
