However, Hemingway achieves a greater sense of irony by keeping his protagonist ignorant to the fate of his fish.  In retrospect, I could have argued that this use of irony further subverts Santiago’s patriarchal sense of ownership.  Overall, I was very pleased with the paper.  Aside from my failure to recognize the full potential of my argument, I have a strong grasp on the theme.  This strength derived from the culmination of prior knowledge, research time, and thorough planning.  The end result is one of my best all around papers.
