The section in which Santiago was trying to pull in the fish on his boat only described his thoughts and his pains. As a reader, I enjoy more action than that part contained.
Or just put commas after “fish” and “pains” and maybe “reader.”
Woot. 🙂

I edited it a little, if you don’t like it, that’s okay, I just think it flows a little better this way.
