Old man and the Sea

Why is this such an integral part of every literature class in the high schools of America? I think there are much more fascinating works by Hemingway yet this is the one which is held up as the one to be studied and many of the others are ignored. Do you find this valuable?

I have nothing personal against The Old man and the Sea, but I prefer For Whom the Bell Tolls. Classic and readable throughout the generations! Do you find this valuable?

The Old man and Sea is beautiful work. Hemingway has lots of beautiful works and he is a bright star in english literature. Do you find this valuable?
