    Generally speaking‚ Hemingway’s The Old Man and the Sea may be seen as a culmination of his long-drawn experiment spanning over 25 years and speculations towards finding out the means through which the “closed literature” can be converted into “an open one”‚ that is‚ to universalise the significance of the themes. He was very much aware of the danger in and difficulties with “closed literature” which in its factual texture‚ so lightly woven‚ presents such opacity of vision that the reader is unable

    As I pondered upon the painting by Domenico Ghirlandaio‚ “Old Man with his Grandson”‚ I was instantly aware of the humanistic value it held. When we consider the paintings of the Medieval period‚ you expect some type of religious implication in artwork to be expressed. In this case‚ we have moved forward to the Renaissance period‚ thus‚ the scene simply lacks the slightest hint of any heavenly focus. I see the realistic image‚ of a young boy clearly of noble decent‚ clothed in red‚ gazing up in adoration

    What does it take to be hopeful? Hope is an everyday human experience that is so ruthlessly clichéd. Such word has been sorely worn out that‚ to a mere mortal like me‚ arriving at its essence is such a hopeless plight. I take Marion’s explanation of how hope is distinctive from mere calculation of possibility‚ expectation‚ optimism‚ vitality and stoicism then later attempt to understand how hope can lead to transfiguration. According to Marion‚ hope is always directed towards the future‚ making
