Answer:
<em>Well, </em><em>1.</em><em> How did Santiago think of the sea? (To what does he compare it?) Santiago compares the sea to a woman, as one that "gave or withheld great favours, and if</em>
<em>she did wild or wicked things it was because she could not help them. </em><em>2. "It is better to be lucky. But I would rather be exact. Then when luck comes, you are ready."</em><em> The old man prepared his fishing gear very carefully and did all he could to increase his
</em>
<em>chances of getting some fish. He made himself ready to take advantage of any lucky strike he
</em>
<em>might find, so he wouldn't have equipment failure or be lacking something he needed when
</em>
<em>he found fish </em><em>3. What fish did the old man catch first?</em><em> The old man caught a tuna first. </em><em>4. "If the other heard me talking out loud, they would think that I am crazy . . . But since I am, not crazy, I do not care." What does that tell us about the old man's character? Santiago is headstrong. He is used to the mocking of the young. Beyond this, Santiago is in love with the sea, The sea is his mistress, it is a mythical construct that the others do not understand. Every creature has its place in Santiago's world. The fish are more than a business to him, they are part of his universe. The others interpret this as crazy. 5.</em><em> The old man could not raise him an inch. The big fish towed the old man's boat. </em><em>6. Santiago thought of porpoises, flying fish and marlin as his brothers in the natural world.</em><em> </em><em>7. He liked the boy's company and really could use some help.</em><em> </em><em>8. Santiago has broken some unspoken law of nature by fishing beyond the normal fishing
</em>
<em>boundaries. The magnificent fish stayed within its natural, allotted environment. The old
</em>
<em>man trespassed and paid a high price for his "sin" against nature. 9. The fish would swim with the current when it got tired. That would mean Santiago's battle
</em>
<em>would almost be over. Good Luck! I put the number so you can see the answer.</em>
<em>From ~Itsbrazts~.</em>
