Question

Is there a comma after old in this sentence: In Ernest Hemingway’s The Old Man and the Sea, Santiago, an old, devoted Cuban fisherman, does not catch a single fish for eighty-four days and is labeled unlucky by other fisherman except for a young boy named Manolin.

Answer 1

The sentence should read:
In Ernest Hemingway's "The Old Man and the Sea," Santiago, and old and devoted Cuban fisherman, goes eighty-four days without catching a single fish. As a result of this, he is labeled unlucky by all the other fishermen with the exception of a young boy named Manolin.

Answer 2

No, there should not be a comma there.
You are using commas to make a side comment ("an old devoted Cuban fisherman)

it would be more proper to use an "and" or change the adjective to elderly... also;


Notes:
-Santiago is the subject of the sentence, don't use a comma before his first mention.
-Being that Santiago is the main guy in the novel use "the" instead fo "an" .. the book is about him (the OLD MAN and the sea)
-use elderly instead of old
-use quotes around the name of the title
-you have to use "all" if you later qualify the quantity by saying "except"

In Ernest Hemingway’s 'The Old Man and the Sea' Santiago, the elderly devoted Cuban fisherman, does not catch a single fish for eighty-four days and is labeled unlucky by all the other fisherman except for a young boy named Manolin.

Here is how I would write it:
Santiago, the elderly and devout fisherman in Ernest Hemingway’s 'The Old Man and the Sea', does not catch a single fish for eighty-four days and is therefore labeled as unlucky by all the other fisherman but one, a young boy named Manolin.

Answer 3

no...there's no comma, but don't forget to underline the name of the book!!!

whenever, you're not sure continue the sentence as if you didn't decsribe Santiago.
for example: you wrote

...Santiago, an old, devoted Cuban fisherman, does not catch a single fish...

if you took out your description of his age, it would read:

...Santiago devoted Cuban fisherman, does not catch a single fish...

this doesn't make sense soo you don't need the comma after old.

if you do the same thing (take out what you wrote in between the commas) for the new sentence, it would read:

...Santiago does not catch a single fish...

this makes SENSE!!!

soo therefore... you only need a comma after fisherman not old.


GOOD LUCK!!!

Answer 4

both must be completely suitable. A call does no longer could be an total sentence. It basically relies upon on what you experience sounds better therefore. i for my section like the 2d one, yet back it wont be a blunder both way because it truly is purely a recognition.

Answer 5

There is not a comma after the lowercased "old" because it is not a complete thought.

Answer 6

Answer 7

Yes. Your sentence is just right as it is..

Answer 8

yes

Answer 9

yep
