Yesterday we discussed Hemingway's political view and hidden massage of The old man and the sea. Unlike other books of Hemingway, OMS has some unrealistic scenes and Rab said it's realted to his Christianity, which is an interesting view. Yet I think Hemingway made unrealistic scene in the book because he hadn't written good books till OMS. Before OMS he struggled to write attractive novels and critics said his career was over. OMS is like an last-ditch attempt for him, so he changed his policy that he only wrote realistic things.
After discussing his political view we did some debate practice. Yusuke said that in OMS sharks are critics and the book, OMS, is a big fish. And hemingway probably thought that sharks=critics would attack(criticize) a big fish(the book). It's a creative & interesting idea, isn't it?
Today we discussed out essay and did debate practice like yesterday. I had to defend my opinion, but I counldn't and sometimes said that I think so... I'm not a good debater. Some criticisms from others are very valuable and make essay work easier:)
