I chose Dorothy, the tin-man, the lion, and the scarecrow from "The Wizard of Oz" to relate to my character because they both went on fruitless trip to "search" for something and to find they have gained what they were looking for in the end. The old man needed to catch a fish to earn back the respect of his fellow fisherman and to prove he can still catch fish and is not salao. So he sailed further than anyone else had and caught the marlin after three days. Even though the marlin was eaten by the sharks soon after it was caught, it still earned him the respect of the village and fellow fisherman. Dorothy and her crew went looking for the Wizard of Oz (who later turned out to be a fraud) for a way home, a brain, a heart, and courage. They found out in the end of the story that they had gained those things during the course of their journey.
