Because that's just the natural order of things - fishermen hunt the fish, and the fish resists and tries to run away. Santiago's persistence resembles the marlin's - the one is determined to kill, the other is determined to run away if possible. In a way, they live the same kind of life - harsh and ruthless, and share the same fate, lonely and isolated from the rest of the world. This is why Santiago sees the fish as his fellow suffering (and resisting) soul.

A is like B." "We don’t know what "B" is." "OK, A is a little like C." "We don’t know what "C" is either. Explain. ?
olganol [36]

Answer:

This is an example of a failure of deductive reasoning.

Explanation:

Deductive reasoning is one that first analyzes two premises to reach a conclusion. If the text shown in the question above were an example of deductive reasoning done correctly, we should read: "we do not know B, nor C and therefore we cannot say that they are equal to A."

However, we see the narrator of the text presenting conclusions without evaluating the premises, presenting a false conclusion. This is an example of inductive reasoning failure.
