Discuss the ways in which Santiago demonstrates his love for Manolin in The Old Man and the Sea.

Every encounter between Santiago and Manolin reflects the
affection they hold for each other. Santiago affirms the authority of Manolin's father
in forbidding Manolin to go fishing with the old man after his luck is gone, even as he
continues their friendship. When Manolin sits with Santiago to watch the activities of
the harbor, their conversation is of good fishing in their shared past and of baseball
as equals, not condescending as could happen when a much older adult is talking with a
child. When Manolin plans to go fishing with Santiago after he recovers from the
hardship of his great catch, Santiago is appreciative of the company and of his
loyalty.
