Ernest Hemingway
notice Great writers don’t need many words. They can even create masterpieces with just a few words or sentences. Here are some examples from the works of great authors. We are familiar with the novels and other voluminous works of these geniuses, but their short stories are also worth reading.
Hemingway was the first to write a 6-word essay. After that, many others did similar tests.
Once Ernest argued with his friends that he would write the shortest and most exciting work in the world. The literary genius managed to win a bet by writing six words on a piece of paper.“For Sale: Baby Shoes, Never Used”“For Sale: Children’s Shoes, Never Worn.”

“The Old Man and the Sea” (1952 short)
An old man fishing in his boat in the gulf stream. He did not catch a single fish in eighty-four days. The assistant boy stays with him for the first forty days. However, the boy’s parents, seeing him return home without hunting, advised him to go to sea in another boat and leave the wretched old man. The boy looks pitifully at the old man who returns empty-handed and helps him bring the empty boat to shore.
The action takes place in a small fishing town in Cuba. Old Santiago taught the boy Manolin to fish. At the old man’s hut, they talk about tomorrow’s fishing, finally laughing at the old man’s luck. They talk about the latest sports news, baseball and famous athletes like DiMaggio. When an old man sleeps, there are no fights, women or big events in his dreams. He sees Africa and the great lion coming ashore.
In the morning, the old man prepares the boat and tells Manolin, who helps him, that he believes in success today.
One by one the fishing boats are going to sea. The old man loves the sea and thinks the sea is a woman. Baits the hooks and drops the water. is waiting Speaks loudly to birds and fish.

A dramatic battle ensues between the old man and the giant fish, lasting several hours. Tries to pull string but fails. She regrets that the boy is not with her. But it is still better that the fish pulls to the side and not to the bottom.

The fish is no longer pulling hard. It has weakened. But the strength of the old man is also failing. Finally the fish are starting to show. It is very beautiful and twice the size of the boat. Appearing on the surface of the water, it sinks again and the old man has to strain his strength. He does not believe in God, but he begins to read the “Our Father”. Fish wants to show what man is capable of.
Another day passed. Remember the old man playing baseball to distract himself. He remembers defeating a strong negro in hand-to-hand combat and then decided not to fight anymore because he needed his hands for fishing.
The fight with the fish continues. The fish comes to the boat dead, dies. Prepares the dart to deliver the final blow to the fish. Persuades the fish to surrender. The fish dives.
The next time the fish came out the old man struck. Feels nauseous and weak. Bring the fish and tie it to the boat. Calculates the value of the fish and thinks that the great DiMaggio can be proud of himself.
An hour passed. The first shark is seen. The fish began to eat. The old man struck him and the shark sank to the bottom, taking the arrow and a large piece of fish with it. old man thinking People can be defeated, but cannot be destroyed.

When the old man reaches the shore, everyone is asleep. All that remains of his fish is the skeleton. On the shore, the boy meets a tired and crying old man. Manolin comforts the old man. Trust him that he will bring him success and after acquiring many skills he will become really effective.
