ARW on the 3rd June 09

Yesterday, in ARW class, I found how difficult to interpret the Literature.
Santiago could be Hemingway himself, Cuba, Communism, Jesus, America, and so on, but in my opinion, as Manami said, Santiago could be many character in this whole book, depending one the situation.
Then, if Santiago is the country Communism, the boy would be the partner country of theirs, because Santiago and the boy are not the family, and this is why they cannot be together by some forces, or big power, as described in the book, such as the parental power that a little boy cannot resist to, then even if the boy wants to follow Santiago, he cannot, I though that it had been true of many cases in the Cold War time.

The interpretation of the sea, whinch reard the sea as the symbol of the woman was also so interesting for me to think about that I want to search.

Essay is so tough task!!
