In Ernest Hemingways The Old Man and the Sea, you meet Santiago, an old Cuban fisherman who is down on his luck but finds himself alone and far from shore with the biggest catch of his life — an 18-foot marlin. Through the symbolism of Santiagos relationship with his young apprentice Manolin, his love of the ocean, and his struggle with (but not against) nature, The Old Man and the Sea earned Ernest Hemingway the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1953.

Two separate review modes let you customize your study experience.

· Prescriptive “Cram Plan” orders the content of the app to give you exactly what you need to know in the time that you have.
