If only people could be like fish……
“The male fish always let the female fish feed first…..and all the time the male had stayed with her.”(49)
This line stands out to me because it shows how the old man could relate and feel connected to the fish and its fellows. Maybe he felt this way with his wife, maybe for the boy.
Sometimes I really believe animals are more humane then humans. The few humans that are most like these humane animals, are the most gentle natured people. The old man has a reason to connect with these animals because, in reality, he has the kindness and wit of them. I wish there were more people like the marlins.
