Life is a journey.At the end of every worldly journey,death awaits.That is a certainty.The ending will be the same for everyone who walks this earth.What matters is the course chosen on the voyage through life.The vast sea represents life’s journey,with its ebbs,flows,and storms that must be navigated.In Hemingway’s portrait of the world,death is inevitable,but the finest men will nonetheless refuse to give in to its power.In both the sea and in life,there are a number of possibilities that lie hidden from the common eye; some are gifts to be treasured and some are problems to be defeated.Neither will be found unless man embarks upon the journey.If man is lucky enough to discover a treasure he must fight until death to retain it; if man is unlucky enough to discover an evil lurking underneath the surface of the sea,he must fight it bravely and nobly until the end.In either case,it is the struggle that is all- important,and a man obtains the status of hero if he battles the sea (life) with grace under pressure.The only way to obtain the status of hero is to set sail on the uncertain sea of life.
