Santiago vs. Christ...Are They Similar?

VS.
It's long been debated amongst scholars that Hemingway intended his character of the struggling yet determined old man to represent Christ and his plight. Others do not see the connection between to two.

You and your partner are required to contribute two examples from the novella to convince your classmates that Santiago is or is not a Christ figure.

After posting your textual evidence and providing your argument, discuss your ideas with other groups, and collect at least three strong examples to use as support in your short comparison and/or contrast essay.
