‘The Old Man and the Sea’ is about the epic struggle mage by an old fisherman named Santiago. He was an aged Cuban fisherman who went to the sea to catch fish but returned empty-handed even after 84 days. Parents of the young boy who served in Santiago’s boat, forced to leave him, and fish in a more prosperous boat. The young boy’s name was Maroline. He cared for the old man, and go with Santiago for fishing again. Santiago wanted to catch a giant fish so he left the boy, and went fishing. After several days he caught a giant fish but the luck was not with him, and the sharks attacked it. Santiago tried to defend it but at night a herd of sharks ate the whole fish.
