The Old Man and The Sea ( Summer Reading)

I read this book in two hours because it is so short. It is full of emotion, and while I think Steinbeck might be a little more heart wrenching, this book defiantly came close. It’s interesting because I thought the only reason it wasn’t as sad as Of Mice and Men or The Pearl was because the protaganist never complained. I’m used to the main character complaining about his life or how bad it is, which is helpful, but it basically spells everything out for the reader. It was nice to have subtle hints about the characters emotions and thoughts, while never knowing exactly what was on his mind.
