The Old Man in the Sea by Ernest Hemingway, narrated by George Osborne. It made the boy sad to see the old man come in each day with this skiff empty, and he always went down to help him carry either the coiled lines or the Gaff and a harpoon in the sail that was furled around the mast. The sale was patched with flour sacks and furled. It looked like a flag of permanent defeat. The old man was thin and gaunt, with deep wrinkles in the back of his neck. The brown blotches of the benevolent skin cancer the sun brings from its reflection on the Tropic See were on his cheeks. But none of these scars were fresh. They were as old as erosions and official ist desert. Everything about him was hold except his eyes, and they were the same color as the sea and were cheerful and undefeated. The Outsiders by S. E. Hinton Narrated by George Osborne. Chapter one. When I stepped out of the bright sunlight into the darkness of the movie house, I had only two things on my mind. Paul Newman and a ride home. I was wishing I looked like Paul Newman. He looks tough and I don't, but I guess my own looks aren't so bad. I have light brown, almost red hair and greenish grey eyes. I wish there were more gray because I hate most guys that have green eyes, but I have to be content with what I have. My hair is longer than a lot of boys, where there's squared often back and long at the front and sides. But I am agree, sir, in most of my neighborhood rarely bothers to get a haircut. Besides, I look better with long hair.
