Dear Manolin,
Having you in my life made everything meaningful to me. I regret not taking you out in the sea
because the trip would have been much more successful. I would not have been so injured and I probably
would have gone back home with a better reward. At the same time though, I did not want you to be hurt at all,
your life would be endangered and also your family would be extremely worried. You are too young to
experience all thetragedies I had been through. Your life is just as good as it is and you should not have to worry
about anything. For as i am just an old man who has nothing else to do except go fishing, where as fishing is the
one thing I love besides baseball for which I am too old to do so I had chosen fishing.
Sincerely,
Santiago

The reason I chose this genre is because Santiago was saying how he regretted not taking Manolin out in the
sea with him because things would have gone better. He would have been in better condition and would not
have to worry so much. He regretted it but he still did not want him to come because Manolin is a young boy a
good life and is not ready to experience so much at his age.
