Hemingway was a big game hunter. In The Old Man and the Sea, Santiago is a fisherman, a type of hunter. In the Green Hills of Africa Hemingway talks a lot about hunting.

Alvarenga was a 37-year-old Salvadoran fisherman living and working in Mexico. A heavy drinker quick to pick up the tab, he had no family tying…

'twixt the moorland villages of Clapptrap and Skandal there runs a lovely stretch of the Twaddle. The lively river flows through the limestone gorge at Poppycock Cut, and once past Yakking Mouth it discharges its clear waters in spectacular fashion at Fayrelady Falls. Tis a sight for sore eyes to behold such wild, foaming torrents - I courted my dear wife there and it's a good spot for trout.

Destroyed means to put an end to the existence of something by damaging or attacking it.…
