Theme

Well I think the theme is perserverence .Santiago is like 90 years old and while out at sea he still wantst catch fish, his hand dies , he starts losing his mind , but h never gives up. I think I couldn't stay in a boat for four days without food or water thats like insanity! But Santiago still did and never gave up , and got his big fish.

Main Characters.

Main characters of the story were Santiago and Manolin. Santiago is an easy going guy and fishing is his life which he has made his living from . Santiago has gone 84 days without catching a fish and people are judging him for that , Manolins parents called him salo which means worst of luck so thats why they dont want Manolin to hang around with santiago .

Manolin is the other main Character, he is a young boy but for some reason he is aloud to drink beer. Manolin is Santiagos apprentice and his parents are trying him to stop from being Santiagos friend because Santiago has not bee catching fish. Manolin loves his master and I think he would even die to be with him because he wanted to go on the trip with Santiago that santiago said wa dangerous.I think he was a good character to put int he story even though he dosent say much.

I think the Author did a good job with the people of the story even though there aren't many he still did good real good .
