8. Autopsy If we must die—let it not be like hogs Hunted and penned in an inglorious spot, While round us bark the mad and hungry dogs, Making their mock at our accursed lot. If we must die—oh, let us nobly die, So that our precious blood may not be shed In vain; then even the monsters we defy Shall be constrained to honor us though dead! Oh, Kinsmen! We must meet the common foe; Though far outnumbered, let us show us brave, And for their thousand blows deal one deathblow! What though before us lies the open grave? Like men we’ll face the murderous, cowardly pack, Pressed to the wall, dying, but fighting back!

11. AUTHOR ERNEST HEMINGWAY AND FAMILY – 4 MARLIN HANGING BEHIND “The successful fishermen of that day were already in and had butchered their marlin out and carried them laid full length across two planks, with two men staggering at the end of each plank” Ernest Hemingway’s The Old Man and the Sea actually takes place in an unknown, smaller city, but Havana serves as the local fishermen’s market. An earnest story about determination, struggle, and pride, Hemingway’s journalistic tone paints a portrait of a fisherman whose successful days of fishing have passed with his younger years. Despite a grim future for the old man he sets his sights further into the Gulf Stream to remedy his eighty-four day, fishless dry spell. Havana attracted both heavy trade and international tourism.
