    Firstly, I would like to precise that this type of book isn't what I read usually.So, at first I thought that this story don't entice me ! But, finally I've appreciate the plot. 

    It a simple story, but quite interresting. We discover the stronger connexion that it exists between the old man and the young boy, then there is a sort of adventure which takes place. And during this part of book, we are a little anxious because we don't know what it going to pass. Although, that I haven't read the novel in all his totality, I should you, even if isn't your style of novel,like me !

                                                                          Part Five

     

     

    The old man experienced the dangers of the sea. But he had already experienced those dangers. He must have encountered sharks before since he managed to kill them.

     In the old man point of view, nothing has changed. He believes he's still '' unlucky '' l 23 and he has the feeling he has been defeated ( « they beat me » ). He thinks that this experience has nothing changed.

     Although he managed to catch the big fish at last , he sould have been proud of it.

     He had exactly the same dream that the beginning. It's like a circle, as if he was back to step one. He believes nothing has changed.

     Yet, a lot of things has changed: the people's opinion on him has changed. Indeed, now they admire him whereas they used to despise him ; to make fun of him.

     Manolin can certainly to come back with him, but the old man wants to be alone. But, he might be lucky again, as Manolin with young..

     In this travel novel, the main character isn't aware of the changes which have occured during this experience. He will become aware thanks to the others characters who will make him as he walk have heroic he has been.
