Think of someone you consider one of your best teachers. What makes him or her stand out? Did he or she challenge you to do your best? Maybe he or she had patience when no one else did. Did you learn things other than just the subject matter? For instance, did you learn things about life in general? Write about this special teacher and what makes him or her so special.
Choose a scene from the text you've read so far and rewrite it from a different point of view.
Take some time to consider how you see the sea. Is it masculine or feminine? What are the reasons for your feelings on this?
Santiago seems to believe that "you make your own breaks." Consider these two views: fatalism versus rugged individualism. Fatalism basically says you have no control over what happens to you. For example, "When your time is up, it's up." Rugged individualism, on the other hand, says that you are where you are because you (not somebody or something else) put you there. And just about whatever you want to happen-you can make happen, if you work at it enough. With which view do you most agree with? Give reasons and examples to support your position.
What is something in your life that is your "man-of-war" or deceptively beautiful? Think about things that might be harmful, or even deadly, but on the surface seem pleasant.
Think back to a time when you thought "I wish _________ were here to see this." Who was it and what was happening?
