He only dreamed of places now and of the lions on the beach."

The old man in the book might represent Ernest Hemingway nearing the end of his career. Ernest Hemingway usually writes about great occurrences and great fish. This makes this The Old Man and the Sea a unique book out of all the books that Ernest Hemingway has written. Santiago's dreams might be a parallel to Ernest Hemingway's career because he started off writing great tales and is now ending his career with a rather calm tale. The lions described are at play meaning that they could allude to a time of youth. Santiago could be dreaming about his youth. This quote also ties into the theme of youth in this book. This quote also ties into Manolin. Manolin is looking over Santiago when this dream first appears in the book. Manolin might remind Santiago of his youth and that is also what Santiago dreams of. The fact that the lions allude to many things without sticking to one makes the quote poetic. This is a somewhat common theme is Ernest Hemingway's books.  ]]> 2019-05-07 12:15:48 UTC https://padlet.com/saidheera/91jqhzsneykq/wish/357574375
