The Old Man and The Sea

The old man and the sea is one of Ernest Hemingway’s works that took a high position in American literature in the modern period. Ernest Hemingway is one of the famous authors in the world in English writing. I have read this entire book in Arabic and in English editions. In my opinion, because of my language, I can’t recognize the distinction of writing even for famous writer. Although when I read to famous or normal writer I can’t discriminate which the best of them. Coming back to our topic, The Old Man and The Sea is good fiction, but it was focused on one problem in the whole of fiction. Otherwise, there is no movement in this fiction, if it is correct figuratively, just between the old man and the boy, he didn’t include other characters in this story. Moreover, the most of fiction is concentrated on mental dialogue in the old man’s mind. This is my opinion, but I’m sure in English view it is not true view because of my different view that comes from other literary environment .
