- Annotation
- Arguing against traditional interpretations of The Old Man and the Sea as man against nature, Van Noy and Woods outline their approach to teaching the novella and Big Two-Hearted River as representations of Hemingway s environmentalist ethic. Contends that rather than dominating nature, the protagonists immerse themselves in the natural world, which leads them to important lessons about restoration and equilibrium. Includes post-reading exercises such as what happens next in which students add to the narrative or compose a one-word review.
