The Old Man and Sea,written by Ernest Hemingway,is a good book to be read.I get a lot of new ideas and thoughts from it.Firstly,I want to say,If your dream is big enough,the facts doesn't count.In this novel,the old man do not give up his beliefs even if he experienced plenty of failures.What's more,"Man proposes,God disposes".That is to say,when we faced difficulty,face it and conquer it without hesitation.All in all,i think book is the best teacher for me.
