The story A Very Old Man with Enormous Wings was confusing but has a good story to it. the story show people wish for miracles to happen but when its comes true it's not good enough for them or they can't accept them. Normally you wouldn't find a man with wings and not think he isn't an angel. What else would be a man with wings.
In the story, the priest that came and tlaked to the angel said that he wasn't an angel because he didn't know the language of God.That could be true but the priest wouldn't know for sure that angels had to know Latin. The people locked him up with the hens and the children abused him. Everbody treated him as if he was a human. That is like not having respect for the angel and abusing him. They only wanted the angel to do something for themselves and not do anything for him. Thats how people now treat each other which is unfair.
When the angel helped the sick he didn't cure them but he did do strange things to them. Thats when the people gave up on the angel. This is also what people do today, they expect for something good to happen to them and when it doesn't happen to them they give up. How at the end of the story the angel was sitting in a corner and was motionless reminds me of people that have depression because of the way people treat them. People can even treat the nicest people bad by making fun of them.
The story does have very good and important lessons about today's society. When people are having a hard time in their life don't accept it. This is what the story is all about.
