He jerked the tiller free from the rudder and beat and chopped with it, hodding it in both hands and driving it down again and again. But they were up to the bow now and driving in one after the other and together, tearing off the pieces of meat that showed glowing below the sea as they turned to come once more. One came, finally, against the head itself and he knew it was over. He swung the tiller across the shark's head where the jaws were caught in the heaviness of the fish's head which would not tear.
The old man did not give up. He fought with ever he had. He use a harpoon, a knife, a club, and the tiller. He did the best he could, tell he lost. That was the most irritating part of the book, is the fact he did not get to sell the fish. The book is based after how life is. You have your ups and downs. If you want to you can gain something form almost everything. Even if it is not material.
