The old man and the sea- From what simple things come

From What Simple Things Come Why is it that everything in life has to have a conflict? Whether it is good or bad, something has to trigger it. In The Old Man in the Sea, a character, named Santiago, fell into a conflict of inadequate proportions. He went out into the sea, searching to find something that might take his life complete, to maybe find some serenity. Not only did he find it, but there …

What helped Santiago with his conflicts, were the fish, the birds and the turtles. What Santiago’s heritage left behind, was a legacy of a man who had all the time in the world, who caught his biggest dream, and because of life’s little conflicts, no matter of the help he had, lost it.
