The Old Man and the Sea

In the novela The Old Man and the Sea, some of the motifs are stregnth, rest, and eyes. The word stregnth and rest kept appearing in the novela when Santiago was fishing. The eyes motif was mostly present in the begining of the book before he went fishing. I thought the boy Manolin, represented luck because, he was not allowed to go fishing with the old man because his parents thought the old man was bad. His parents thought Santiago had bad luk because he was not catching any fish. If maolin's parents did not think the old man had bad luck then Manolin would still be fishing with the old man. Turns out, Manolin is a symbol of hope, because while the old man was out at sea he would constantly say, "I wish the boy were here".
