Marlin Fishing Quotes
marlin fishing quotes

Foreshadowing in the Old man and the Sea by Ernest Hemingway?
Howdy folks, I'm having a bit of a brain-fart here, finding it hard to put my answer into words so I'd greatly appreciate some help.
Alrighty then, here it is:
How do the following quotes foreshadow what happens later in the novel?:
"And the best fisherman is you" (Manolin/the boy)
"No. I know others better." (Santiago/The old man)
"Que va," the boy said. "There are many good fishermen and some great ones. But there is only you."
"Thank you. You make me happy. I hope no fish will come along so great that he will prove us wrong."
How does that foreshadow the later happenings with the giant marlin? I kinda know the answer, but I just can't put it in words ffff maybe I've just been typing essays for too long... Any help? Ten points C:
There are quite a few study guides that can help you with your study of The Old Man and the Sea, most of which analyze the story, discuss themes and symbolism and other literary devices, and give character sketches. A number of them have quotes.
