Blogging Assignment 5

The main characters in Old Man and the Sea are Santiago, a fisherman and Manolin, a boy who helps him.

Begin your description of Santiago with this second sentence: Three adjectives that describe Santiago are old, poor, lonely.
First, Santiago is old. It is easy to read from the whole text and title. Second, he is poor. That is shown that "his shirt had been patched so many times that it was like the sail." ( from Page.18, Line 22-23.) Third, he is lonely because his wife has already died and he lives by himself.

Two adjectives that describe Manolin are young and kind. I feel Manolin is kind because he has usually taken care of Santiago, for example "The boy took the old army blanket off the bed and spread it over the back of the chair and over the old man's shoulders."(from Page10,Line16)
