In "The Old Man and the Sea" by Ernest Hemingway, there are a few instances that wake up the old man. Firstly, the old man was awakened by the sound of the fish taking the bait and pulling the line, indicating that he has hooked a big fish. This arouses his sense of excitement and determination to catch the fish.
Later, as the old man battles with the marlin he caught, the fish pulls him into an exhausting and tense struggle that lasts for days. During this time, the old man is awakened multiple times by the pain and strain of his physical effort to maintain control of the fish and his boat.
Ultimately, it is the presence of sharks that ultimately wake the old man up again and again. As the old man battles to protect his catch from the ferocious sharks, their attacks on the marlin cause him to react and fight back in a desperate attempt to save his prized fish. The noisy and destructive encounters with the sharks serve as painful awakenings that threaten his success and push him to his limits.
