The Old Man Hooks A Fish
The old mans 48 days of no fish has ended. This section shows the out look and philosophy the old man has on fishing. He’s gone almost two days fighting this fish with no food and little water. It shows that he is a true fisherman because hardly anyone would fight for 6 hours and he has gone on for over 12 hours.
His choice had been to stay in the deep dark water far out beyond all snares and traps and treacheries. My choice was to go there to find him beyond all people. Beyond all people in the world. Now we are joined together and been since noon. And no one to help either one of us.
This passage tells the values of the old man, in how he would have the fight no other way and that he goes too any length to do what has to be done. He tells how there is a connection of why the fish is out in the deep ocean and not by shore. He is not one to follow the crowd, he takes chances.
