    • 524 Words
    • 3 Pages

    Internal struggles of Santiago in Old man and the Sea by Ernest Hemingway I agree with William Handy in his quote‚ “ In the portrayal of Santiago in the Old man and the Sea there is no uncertainty of being‚ no confusion of self and values. …rather it is concerned with the depiction of conflicting values‚”(Handy 2) The Old Man has respect toward nature to make his decisions. Santiago also respected the marlin because he has finally found his match He knows the marlin can beat him nonetheless

    When I was first asked to give a talk on mothers‚ since it would be mother’s day. I started wondering how Mother’s Day came to be. I was surprised to discover that Mother’s Day has a history longer than Christianity!  Ancients celebrated Isis (Mother of the Pharaohs)‚ Rhea (Greek Mother of the Gods)‚ and Cybele (The Great Mother).  The worship of these ancient goddesses is similar to the reverence we show to Mary‚ Jesus’ mother as these Mother Goddesses are often depicted with a baby in arms.

    Odysseus’s Struggles Odysseus faces many conflicts in The Odyssey. He faces both internal and external conflicts. He has many different decisions to make‚ such as to face Scylla or Charybdis with is crew. In my opinion‚ the three most important conflicts are when Odysseus’s men refuse to listen when he tells them not to eat the cattle‚ the fact that he was pulled away from his wife‚ Penelope‚ and their newborn son‚ and when Odysseus faces the Cyclopes. One thing that I learned while reading
