Would you like to be a fisherman like Santiago? Explain why or why not.

Question

Hi, can you help me with doing an outline for the essay

“Old man and the sea” novel

Answer 1

There are many different ways you could structure your essay. One option is to use a compare/contrast structure. First, gather all the evidence to show why being a fisherman would be a positive experience, and why one might want to be a fisherman like him. Be sure to use text evidence and quotes from the text to support your ideas. Next, gather all reasons why being a fisherman would be a negative experience. Again, use text examples and quotes to explain. Finally, once the reader has both sides of the argument, give your opinion and why you think that way.
