But man is not made for defeat, a man can be destroyed but not defeated. i like this passage because it shows how he has not let the fish get the better side of him. he is basically saying that he will not let this fish defeat him unless the fish is defeated as well. I think the old man is always contradicting himself because that is the only way he can keep himself going. otherwise, i think he would not have had the will nor the energy to defeat the fish and make it home. the old man keeps thinking it was a dream because the sharks keep eating the fish that he has worked so hard to kill. they keep taking his pride and there is nothing he can do about it. he knew if it were a dream, the fish would still be there and he would have plenty to sell to the people of the town. however it was not a dream, the sharks had taken everything off the fish.

November 20, 2006Video About Fashion!
November 20, 2006The significance of this video is that it gives those people who aren’t exactly endowed with the best looks, a chance to make it in the celebrity or fashion world. It will let them think that they are beautiful even if they have been told their whole life that they are not. This action takes place because even people who are really beautiful and make it in the fashion world, there is something wrong with everybody. This process is continued through the fact that we by the products that this Is possible with and we believe in the fact that almost any one can be made beautiful. This video is true because this is exactly how the fashion and real world work.
Movie vs Story
November 20, 2006In the movie, John Steinback writes about him and his family and the troublesome they go through. first they get kicked out of their house and their land gets taken away from them. there are many people in the family in the movie and they do a great job of surviving with the little money and food that they do have. i thnk that it would be very hard to have lived the life back then. i dont think i would have been able to stand starving my self or even being kicked out of my own house and off my own property. the oldest daughter is very couragous when she agrees to nurse the old man that is starving to death.
What About Painters?
November 9, 2006Painters can express mood by the different colors they use or the different background they paint. for example, if a painter uses a dark background the picture is probably about depression or a sad moment. while if the painter uses a bright color, the picture will probably be about laughter and happiness. if a painter paints a picture with sad faces or no facial expressions at all, the painter might not have been very happy when they painted it. if the painter paints a picture with smily faces and wide eyes, the painter was probably in a good mood. a lot of the mood involved in the picture, is about the mood the painter has at that time of day when he paints it. the picture display what the feelings of the painter are. if you want to know what a painter is like then you could look at their paintings and probably find our within a matter of just a few. after looking at what others had to say about painters, i like what jean2008 had to say because they were right about painters oftern trying to paint a story.
Potential Symbols
November 2, 2006i think that the old man could be that the old man really isn’t doing well however he must keep himself strong and the fish must stay weaker than him. He has to keep going so that he can outdo the fish. he believes that he must win. my symbol was that the old man is trying to stay strong but that he is always refusing food so that could be difficult for him to outdo the fish. however now that he is alone, he is doing better at making himself eat because he knows he must. he knows that is he does not eat, there will be no way for him to defeat the fish. i also think that
