Santiago The Man Who Would Not Be Defeated

“Santiago: The Man Who Would Not Be Defeated” Santiago was a strong man and he would not be defeated by any thing even a 900 pound fish. Santiago was an old man, with few supplies, and no helpers. Those were some of the challenges he faced. First he is and old man. He has bad cramps, which make him loose some of his strength to hold the line. He also gets tired very easy so he fatigues very easily. Last he has bad eyes so he can?t see very well. Second he has very few supplies. He has a small skiff, which means he can not take in big fish. He has one harpoon to kill a shark and if he loses it he has nothing to defend him or his catch. He has flimsy poles so they can break easily, and not much food or water. Last he has no helper. No one to help him with his pain, no one to help him take in a big fish, and no one to talk to. When he has no one to talk to he starts to talk to himself and starts to get discouraged. Santiago is a very strong man he defended him self and his fish from 4 sharks, he helped him self through his pain. He also battled his old age. At the end he was victorious.
