2. "It is better to be lucky. But I would rather be exact. Then when luck comes, you are ready."

Explain.

3. What fish did the old man catch first?

4. "If the other heard me talking out loud, they would think that I am crazy . . . But since I am

not crazy, I do not care." What does that tell us about the old man's character?

5. What happened when the old man first tried to pull in the bill fish?

6. What does the old man think of porpoises and flying fish, and the pair of marlin he had

hooked before?

7. Santiago often wishes the boy were there. Why?

8. "His choice had been to stay in the deep dark water far out beyond all snares and traps

. . . My choice was to go there to find him beyond all people . . . in the world." Explain the

importance of this passage.

9. Why did Santiago want the fish to turn and swim with the current?

Well, 1. How did Santiago think of the sea? (To what does he compare it?) Santiago compares the sea to a woman, as one that "gave or withheld great favours, and if

she did wild or wicked things it was because she could not help them. 2. "It is better to be lucky. But I would rather be exact. Then when luck comes, you are ready." The old man prepared his fishing gear very carefully and did all he could to increase his

chances of getting some fish. He made himself ready to take advantage of any lucky strike he

might find, so he wouldn't have equipment failure or be lacking something he needed when

he found fish 3. What fish did the old man catch first? The old man caught a tuna first. 4. "If the other heard me talking out loud, they would think that I am crazy . . . But since I am, not crazy, I do not care." What does that tell us about the old man's character? Santiago is headstrong. He is used to the mocking of the young. Beyond this, Santiago is in love with the sea, The sea is his mistress, it is a mythical construct that the others do not understand. Every creature has its place in Santiago's world. The fish are more than a business to him, they are part of his universe. The others interpret this as crazy. 5. The old man could not raise him an inch. The big fish towed the old man's boat. 6. Santiago thought of porpoises, flying fish and marlin as his brothers in the natural world. 7. He liked the boy's company and really could use some help. 8. Santiago has broken some unspoken law of nature by fishing beyond the normal fishing

boundaries. The magnificent fish stayed within its natural, allotted environment. The old

man trespassed and paid a high price for his "sin" against nature. 9. The fish would swim with the current when it got tired. That would mean Santiago's battle

would almost be over. Good Luck! I put the number so you can see the answer.

From ~Itsbrazts~.

the answer is

r ≈5.641

plug in the area of 100 yards into the equation

100=

divide each side by pi

≈ 31.8309=

take the square root of each side to find r

=r

r ≈5.641
