The Very Old Man With Enornous Wings

List the characters in the story. Write one to two sentences on the defining characteristics of each one, providing at least one citation to illustrate your comments.
Pelayo- Elisenda's Husband
Elisenda-
The Angel- Came to take the baby when he was sick
The Neighbor- She new everything about life and death

Why do you think the story is called "A Very Old Man with Enormous Wings" rather than "An Angel"? Provide at least three citations to illustrate your argument.

I think that they called the story "A Very Old Man With Enormous Wings" indtead of "An Angel" because in the beginning of the story pelayo didnt know that it was an angel he was frightend by what he saw laying in the mud.

How do the villagers respond to the spider girl? What do you think their response symbolizes -- how does it relate to the rest of the story? Provide at least two citations to illustrate your argument.

The Villagers responeded to the spider girl differently because it seemed like the angel was just "normal" because it was just something that everyone had already seen and it wasn't really a shock anymore
