Anti reading of the text Old man and the sea

This paper analyzes Ernest Hemingway's novel "The Old Man and the Sea" from an anti-reading perspective. It summarizes the key plot points of the novel, which follows an old fisherman's struggle to catch a giant marlin and his battle with sharks. The paper then challenges the traditional interpretation that the story represents a hopeful message about the connection between struggle and success. It argues that in reality, many people struggle without achieving success and provides examples from fields like sports, business, politics and film to support this view. The conclusion is that while struggle may be a part of routine life, it does not necessarily guarantee success.
