my favorite book is «the old man and the sea» by ernest hemingway. this story is one of the well-known works of the writer. the author depicts the characters of the old man and the boy and their relations very vividly and skillfully. santiago, the old man, was one of the writer's beloved characters. the old man was a born fisherman, but he was not a butcher and fished only for a living. he was very lonely. he had a devoted friend - the boy, manolin. the boy loved the old man for his kind heart, his devotion to the sea. manolin was like a son to santiago. he took care of the old man's food and his belongings. the old man was glad to pass his experience to the boy. he looked forward to going to the sea together with the boy. all santiago's life had been in preparation for the battle with big fish. he knew that he had been born for this and it was time to prove it. a strong man at last had met a strong fish. the battle was a difficult one and full of danger. though the sharks had eaten the fish and nothing had left but the backbone, the old man had morally won the battle. santiago's words «man can be destroyed but not defeated» are the main idea of this story. «the old man and the sea» is a masterpiece for its imaginative language and the description of nature.

Ithink teenagers all over the world have the same problems. as for me, i get along with other students in my class rather well. they don't call me names, they help me if i need any help. i have no problems with my parents, too. i can invite any friends home. what i'm really fed up with is sharing a room with my younger brother. sometimes i get so angry with him! my parents aren't happy about his marks at school. so i have to take care of him. i'm depressed of doing his homework with him every day. if i don't help him, my parents won't allow me to go out on saturday evening.
