In the book The Old Man and the Sea, there is a resemblance between people and the sea. I am going to tell you about my perspective on how humans are like the sea. 

There is a lot in the sea that Santiago just couldn’t see. When he looked at it, he saw the beautiful blue water and the sunset behind it. It all looked great from the outside but there’s a lot happening on the inside. Just like us humans. We look just fine on the outside and we say that we are fine, but no one sees what’s on the inside. Santiago had to really pay attention to guess what was going on under the surface. If he took time to look inside the sea, he will find what really goes on. He had to fight the waves and had to deal with the problem’s inside. If you take time to figure out what really goes on in someone’s heart you will find a lot of bad problems and bad feelings that some people don’t care enough about to help someone feel like they belong or just make them happy.

In the sea, the waves can get pretty rough and scary. Sometimes our lives get rough and scary, but we calm down just like the waves do. Some parts of our life go up and down but when it’s calm, we just need to enjoy that moment. When the waves calm down, that’s when we enjoy being in it the most.
