THE OLD MAN AND THE SEA The Old Man and the Sea was published in 1952. It is a short and fable story, about an old Cuban fisherman Santiago and his battle against a giant marlin. For 84 days he didnt catch a single fish, but he did not lose his heart .He hooked a giant marlin. A desperate struggle happened when Santiago managed to kill the fish and tied it to his boat. However, more dangerous fighting was in store for him. On his way home, he had to fight against the fierce sharks which ate up his catch一the marlin. Nothing was left but a skeleton. Finally, the old man brought the left over home and went to bed and had a dream. The phrase, Hemingway code hero originated with scholar Philip Young. He uses it to describe a Hemingway character who lives correctly, following certain principles of honor, courage, and endurance which in a life of tension and pain make a man a man. THE HEMINGWAY CODE HERO 准则英雄、硬汉子 The code hero of Hemingway: -?? he does not talk about what he believes in. ? ? -?? He does not talk too much.? He expresses himself not in words, but in actions.? The Hemingway man is not a thinker, he is a man of action.? But his actions are based upon a concept of life. The Hemingway code heroes are best remembered for their indestructible spirit. THE HEMINGWAY CODE HERO  A man can be destroyed but not defeated. ----From The Old Man and the Sea ICEBERG PRINCIPLE冰山理论 “I always try to write on the principle of the iceberg .
