Explanation:

On The Old Man and the Sea, Ernest Hemingway portrays Santiago as a noble and humble person who chivalrously endeavors against extraordinary chances.

Despite the fact that the story starts with Santiago's ongoing (and delayed) disappointments as an angler, Hemingway's portrayal doesn't bring out an excess of pity; rather, as we become acquainted with Santiago, we start to comprehend that he stands separated from either his triumphs or his disappointments in the expert domain.

His respect and aloof quality exist separated from getting (or neglecting to get) fish, resting rather upon his dauntlessness even with outrageous drudge and battle. Moreover, Santiago uncovers himself as a man with incredible regard for nature, as his epic fight with the marlin makes the old angler appreciate the fish and nearly lament getting it.

Santiago ends up being a man who has bewildering inward determination and respectability, yet in addition significant quietude, as he demonstrates he isn't reluctant to regard powers whose qualities are more noteworthy than his own.

explanation:

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
