    Heldt Mr. Bender English 10000 8 May 2012 The Sea After reading The Old Man and the Sea‚ written by Ernest Hemingway‚ I found the most interesting part of the book to be the sea itself. One can almost consider the sea another character‚ due to the vital role it plays in the short novella. The sea provides a glimpse at Santiago’s knowledge and experience that he has acquired throughout the course of his life. As well as the sea is used as a metaphor to the literary community‚ if one
