The answer to this question is ( Reverend Hale ).
Answer: From the very first paragraph, Santiago is characterized as someone struggling against defeat. He has gone eighty-four days without catching a fish—he will soon pass his own record of eighty-seven days. Almost as a reminder of Santiago’s struggle, the sail of his skiff resembles “the flag of permanent defeat.” But the old man refuses defeat at every turn: he resolves to sail out beyond the other fishermen to where the biggest fish promise to be. He lands the marlin, tying his record of eighty-seven days after a brutal three-day fight, and he continues to ward off sharks from stealing his prey, even though he knows the battle is useless.
Because Santiago is pitted against the creatures of the sea, some readers choose to view the tale as a chronicle of man’s battle against the natural world, but the novella is, more accurately, the story of man’s place within nature. Both Santiago and the marlin display qualities of pride, honor, and bravery, and both are subject to the same eternal law: they must kill or be killed. As Santiago reflects when he watches the weary warbler fly toward shore, where it will inevitably meet the hawk, the world is filled with predators, and no living thing can escape the inevitable struggle that will lead to its death. Santiago lives according to his own observation: “man is not made for defeat . . . [a] man can be destroyed but not defeated.” In Hemingway’s portrait of the world, death is inevitable, but the best men (and animals) will nonetheless refuse to give in to its power. Accordingly, man and fish will struggle to the death, just as hungry sharks will lay waste to an old man’s trophy catch.
Explanation:
I think it is “moves” because of the “today” that indicates the present tense.
Answer:
Greg's outlook on life and the world shifts in Walter Dean Myers' story "The Treasure of Lemon Brown." Before, during, and following his encounter with Lemon Brown, Greg's perspective shifts. Greg was enraged with his life prior to the event. "The dark sky, filled with angry, swirling clouds, reflected Greg Ridley's mood," he said as he left his house. On that night, Greg ran away from home because he was afraid of his father, school, and himself. Greg's appreciation for the little things in life grew as a result of the experience.
Looking out the window, Greg concluded that “His father has been a postal worker all Greg's life,”. In the end, Greg realized how much his father had done for him and began to appreciate him. Then Greg realized how fortunate he was to be alive and to have a loving father. "He had seen the man picking through trash and pulling clothes out of the Salvation Army box." Before meeting Lemon Brown, he didn't appreciate what he had, but after meeting him, he began to.
Although Greg has had many different perspectives on his life and his father, he has had many difficulties in his emotions such as anger, disapproval, and approval. I have learned to be grateful for what I have rather than what I do not because there are people who have nothing.
