In the novel The Old Man And The Sea by Ernest Hemingway, there is a fish that the old man finally catches after 84 days, but is consumed by Mako shark’s in the process of reeling it in. Santiago, the old man, had a strong connection with the marlin even though he only saw him for a short period of time. They taught each other many things through a tug and war type of play. Catching a marlin fish was a goal of Santiago that he had been attempting to fulfill for a decent period of time, and after being persistent and patient, slowly but surely he was able to succeed. Many symbols in Hemingway’s novel have their own counterparts in my own life, which include a goal, hope, and idolization.

My brother hopped out and got a few rods and a tackle box out. “Come on, Jay is already at the end,” he said as he rushed to the entrance and paid 18$ for both of us to fish until 7 the next morning. I stepped onto the pier and was shocked to see so many people of all ages, sizes, races. The pier was old and worn out, creaking with each careful step I took. The shine of the moonlight reflecting off the pier and the water gave the pier a somewhat scary but welcoming feeling. We walked down to the very end and met up with Jay. He had a giant cooler filled with squid and other types of fish to use as bait, and a gigantic battle rod. “What’s up man?” Mitchell exclaimed and hugged Jay. “Ready to try to teach this little one how to fish?” my brother laughed as they both looked at me awkwardly standing there not knowing what to do. It was around six at night and the pier was still pretty packed, but people were starting to pack up and

“I've got to follow my own plan. Stay here. Get my own thing going.” Vianne was always on the move, creating chocolate and happiness. To continue pursuing her passion of creating chocolate and following the practices of her mother’s people, she had to move from location to location – calling neither home. “Mother and daughter were fated to wander from village to village, dispensing ancient cacao remedies, travelling with the wind.” With every shift in location, she had to leave behind the life she had built there, beginning with abandonment of her father who one morning, “awoke to discover that Chitza and the little girl Vianne had gone away.” At a young age, Mia chose to move to Los Angeles in hopes to fulfil her dreams of becoming a successful actress.

Whether it be love, home or family, the authors show the different sacrifices that need to be made in order to fulfil a dream.
