The Man With the Enormous Wings
I believe that the man with the enormous wings was not just a man. I believe that he was an angel. Anytime that a human being is seen with wings, we automatically assume its an angel. I think its an angel because obviously he has wings. But also, because the neighbor who could tell what that man was told them that the man or the angel was coming to take their son who had been sick with high fever. To me, that symbolizes that like in reality, when someone dies or is sick, we as people in the society say that higher power has come to take them "home". The angel also began to show up in different parts of the family's home at the same time. No actual human can be in one place at one time. And at the end of the story, the man's wings begin to form again and he begin to fly. That to me is what made me thik for real that he was an angel. To me, this story means that there are such thing as angels and even though we may not actually see an angel in front of us, they are there.
