The Old Man and Perseverance

So, once again i am siting here at work and we have hit another part of the day where this place has turned into something compareable to a ghost town, so i guess that i will try and get another blog done for the time being. It is kind of weird because i could have sworn that i only did forty blogs and that i would have to do ten today, but right now, my blog is saying that i only have eight more to do, which i must say is quit sexy. Now i might as well actually start this blog because it is pretty dumb if people read this entire blog just to realize that that all i have been doing is writing down my stupid and random thoughts because that does no one any good in all honesty. anyway, in the book The Old Man and the Sea, the Old Man, Santiago, shows many good character traits. in my last blog i wrote about how the Old Man shows the character trait of pride in the book. Believe it or not though, this is not the only very useful and respecable trait that the Old Man shows throughout the book. He also shows the trait of perserverence. i think that it is very obvious how the Old Man shows perserverence in the book. He shows it whenever he catches the massive marlin when he is out as sea. the marlin actually fights to get off of the line for three days. to me, it is actually quite amazing that the Old Man never gave up trying to catch the marlin.the marlin actually dragged the man's boat out so deep into the ocean that the Old Man could not see any land behind him. if i could not see the land behind me, i know for sure that i would just let the marlin go because i would be afraid that i would get lost at sea and no one would be able to find me after a while.
