I know it would help the community but I also know that mom and dad do more than okay without any of my fish. They don’t even need me so I don’t understand why it means so much to them for me to be lucky. Gosh, do I hate that word! The old man isn’t lucky and he’s better than anyone I’ve ever known. The old man is kind and wise and loving. Isn’t that the kind of person my parents should want me to be around? I know they want me to be a kid but if that were really true they wouldn’t care so much about me being successful at my age.

This is a quote that the crystal merchant says to santiago when santiago is leaving the crystal merchant to go back home. The crystal merchant says this because he knows that santiago will not go back to spain, he will continue to follow his personal legend and try to go to the pyramids and find his treasure. Additionally, santiago is startled when the merchant says this because santiago never talked about the treasure with the merchant.

Hi my name’s Hector, I’m looking for a nice laid back home that I can call my own, and be the king of. I was brought into CHHS, with six other cats. We were all living in a country home that had been foreclosed on, with nowhere to go, and no one to care for us, a nice individual brought us to CHHS so we could find a family, and have a real chance at warm loving life. I don’t think I had a whole lot of socialization in past, so as a result, when it comes to new relationships, I’m very level-headed. I don't leap in paws first, if you know what I mean.

Santiago explains his determination to catch the marlin, thinking to himself, “But I will try it once more...I’ll try it again, the old man promised, although his hands were mushy now and he could only see well in flashes. He tried it again and it was the same...I will try it once again.”(93). Santiago continues to tell himself that it will be his last time trying to catch the marlin, yet he continues working time and time again. Clearly, the marlin is more than just a fish to Santiago. For him, it is a reflection of his hard work, the beauty of nature, and the important relationship that they

He was seventeen and looking for a better life. He was headed straight for South America in search of work and a future. South America had not been his first choice. Tales of cannibal savages steered him clear away. He would’ve much rather go to New England, but tough times and cheaper boat tickets had forced him to reconsider. It wasn’t that bad though; before she died, his Spaniard mother had taught him how to speak Spanish, so at least he would know the language. Santiago would have liked to have her by his side as he faced this unfamiliar horizon. He missed her terribly every single day.
