“A man can be destroyed but not defeated" (Hemingway,51). This is an often-debated quote as to whether Santiago was truly defeated or not by the end of the story. Another debated topic is the difference between being defeated or destroyed. The old man may have had a conflict in his own mind about being destroyed or defeated because when it comes to the definitions of these words they are quite similar. Destroyed means to put an end to the existence of something by damaging or attacking it.…

morning, I woke up to my Dad knocking on my door and telling me to get ready to go fishing. I really did not expect this even though on the weekend, it’s mostly when I go fishing. Although, I planned on going to the park to play football and basketball. Meanwhile, I really loved going fishing so I was actually pretty pumped about this. I immediately got up and did my daily routine. I then proceeded to get all of the fishing gear ready with no thought about breakfast or eating at all. It…

This paper will explain the birth,food,and adaptations of a seahorse. First of all,this is all about a seahorses…

Never Give Up “Fish, I’ll stay with you until I am dead,”(52). In the book The Old Man and the Sea, written by Ernest Hemingway, the old man has to overcome many seemingly impossible tasks while out at sea. During these tasks, the old man never showed any sign of giving in. Therefore, the main theme of this book is to never give up. This theme was expressed through many smaller themes including courage, pride, and mental strength. These three themes portray the main message and theme of…

landings appear to be stabilizing, the average catches in the last 5 years are 4,500 t. The management system of this fishery has been improved over time. This has led to a significant decrease in fishing effort by a reduction in the number of boats (from 364 in the 70s to 176 in 2010) and in the number of fishing days (over 50,000 in the 70s to less than 20,000 in 2009), the increase in the minimum legal size of 69 mm CL to 76 mm CL (Puga et al. 2010). Others main regulations are: a state…

As the weather is warming up, boat owners are getting ready to head out on the water. Before taking your boat out this year, you should consider purchasing a boat insurance policy. Boat insurance covers damage to your boat whether it is in or out of the water, liability coverage in case you injure someone while boating, and medical payments in case someone on your boat is injured. The insurance experts at Parsons Insurance, located in Amelia, OH, explain why insurance should be a necessity for…

caught salt/fresh water fish. This increases jobs for line fishing men/women. It reduces gill nets and drag netting. More than 85 percent of the world's fisheries have been pushed to or beyond their biological limits and are in need of strict management plans to restore them. Several important commercial fish populations such as Atlantic bluefin tuna have declined to the point where their survival as a species is threatened. Target fishing of top predators, such as tuna and groupers, is changing…

“Take pride in how far you have come, and have Faith in how far you can go.” – Christian Larson. This quote eloquently explains the old man's adventure he had with the marlin in the book The Old Man and the Sea by Ernest Hemingway. To go more in depth, in his journey with the marlin he took in pride in never giving up on trying to catch the fish even with the ongoing pain he had to deal with. Along with pride, he also had faith by never giving excuses to himself to give up, and always thinking…

The reading states that zebra mussel has long been spreading out from its original habitats and has now reached parts of North America. therefore it poses a serious threat to freshwater fish populations in all North America and provides three reasons for support. However, the professor explains that zebra mussel is not likely to the serious threat to the freshwater fish population and refutes each of the author's reasons. First, the article claims that it is possible that zebra mussel…

14.1 The Big Picture 4. Yes, it is likely that there will be competitive exclusion between the fish and ducks. Competitive exclusion does not only mean that one species is killed off it also means that it can “also result in two species sharing different parts of a niche”(pg.249). The ducks and fish don’t share the same ecological niche which is “the part of the environment that a species uses to survive and reproduce”(pg.248). This is also proven by the fact that it states in the textbook that…
