OK! So the first book of the year! WOO HOO!!! So, so far in the book there is the main character (the old man(who would have thought of that?)) and he seems like a very humble person and he likes to take care of him self and if you are the right person… he would very willingly share his greatly earned wisdom with you. From what it sounds like so far, it doesn’t seem like he has any family besides his wife, which if that were me by the way, I would totally move on because it seems like he never even talks to her because he hardly mentions her or maybe that’s because he misses her to much and it pains him to talk about her. Getting way off track! Hahaha! Well anyway, there is also a little boy who seems like he is the old mans care taker. He buys him food. Which reminds me, if this guy is a fisherman, shouldn’t he have enough money to buy his own food in the first place? Or is he just a fisherman because he thinks it is fun and that is his only means of food?

So there is a part in the book that oddly strikes my eye and it is,

“The old man drank his coffee slowly. It was all he would have all day and he knew that he should take it. For a long time now eating had bored him and he never carried a lunch. He had a bottle of water in the bow of the skiff and that was all he needed for the day.”

That oddly struck struck my eye because there are many people in the world that don’t have any food and I just kinda wondered if he was one or not. He is a fisherman with bad luck though so that is my thought…
