Ernest Heming uses many reflections of the bible in his book, The Old Man and the Sea. A significant reflection is the way he uses the Old Man to represent Jesus Christ. Jesus caried his cross up the hill and stumbled many times just as the Old Man fell many times while carying his mast to his boat. Both characters suffered greatly before takeing on their burden that was not really a fair charge.
I like The Old Man and the Sea because of the perseverence and willingness the old man had.
