What's the point behind the conversation about yellow rice with fish and the cast net?

It is a joke or perhaps a wish between the two friends. There really is no rice or net.

It shows that Manolin has a double personality; he is outwardly kind but inwardly mean.

There are many good fishermen and some great ones. But there is only you. What does the boy mean?

Manolin means that Santiago is special. It could also mean that one has to use the talents one is given in life.

What is Hemingway's point to having the old man say "I may not be as strong as I think.... But U know many tricks and I have resolution.

Pure strength isn't the only thing for a fisherman to have. If one is smart and persistent, he can accomplish great things without tremendous strength.

He is telling the other fisherman that he doesn't want their help or pity.

It was small and had only the necessities for the old man's everyday life. It was neat and clean.

It was not a typical house. He brought the boat up on the beach at night, put a tarpaulin over it, and slept in the bottom of the boat.

It was of average size for the village with comfortable furniture. He had left everything the way his dead wife left it.

Why is there so much talk about baseball, specifically Joe DiMaggio?

Santiago identifies with DiMaggio and sees that success is sometimes possible, no matter what the odds if you want it enough.

Baseball was the fishermen's only means of escape from the harshness of their existence.

Santiago and the other man in the village had pooled their small savings and bet on DiMaggio's team to win. They listened to games hoping to become rich.
