This tale is mainly about the old man with the enormous wings. The way the old man appeared made his characteristics look as an angel fallen from heaven after a stormy night. I find this tale to be quite interesting. Interesting in how the old man is treated and how he makes magical miracles which some

    In “A Very Old Man With Enormous Wings: A Tale For Children” by Gabriel Garcia Marquez‚ is quite an interesting story. This particular story discuses one of the many ongoing problems that we facing in our society; judging a person by how they look. My initial thoughts that this story is boring. I thought how this didn’t make any sense and that it was mainly about an old fart that fell from the sky. I had a difficult time relating to the story as it made no impression on me. I kept searching clues

    Drama Objective Review: I really enjoyed reading Riders to the Sea. Although it was not always very clear and was slightly confusing it always kept me interested and I couldn’t keep my eyes of the page. I loved the vocabulary that they used in the early 1900s.
