Plot Part 2

Beginning Problem-
“He was an old man who fished alone in a skiff in the Gulf Stream and had gone eighty-four days no without taking a fish. In the first forty days a boy had been with him. But after the forty days without a fish the boy’s parents had told him the old man was no definitely and finally salao, which was the worst form of unlucky.” (1)

Rising Action-
"My choice was to go there and find him beyond all people. Beyond all people in the world.”(50)

"A man is never lost at sea..."(89)

“The month when the great fish come. Anyone can be a fisherman in May" (18).

“Now is the time to think of only one thing. That which I was born for."(40)

Climax
"Fish, you are going to have to die anyway. Do you have to kill me too?" (92).

Falling Actions
“He swung the tiller across the shark’s head where the jaws where caught in the heaviness of the fishes head”(87)

“That was the last shark of the pack that came. There was nothing more for them to eat.”(88)

Resolution
"They beat me, Manolin," he said. "They truly beat me." "He didn't beat you. Not the fish." "No. Truly. It was afterwards" (124).
