I.
Primary Source and Analytical Approach
My primary source is A Very Old Man with Enormous wings. My Analytical is the textural
approach.
II.
Primary Source Summary and Analysis
Summary: The story is about the human response to those who are not strong or considered
to be weak, dependent, or even different. It also shows how greedy and cruel humans are.
The family kill crabs causing a stench, they think that is what causes the baby to have a temp.
When the husband, returns from throwing the crabs in the ocean he finds the man with the
wings who is injured and runs to show his wife. At first the husband and wife did not know
that the man was an angel. The neighborhood throws food at the angel while he is in the
chicken coop, and that is where the idea comes from where they start to charge people.
When the winter is over and the angel is feeling better, his wings grow back, and he flies
away.
Analysis: From an analytical point of view the angel stands for magical realism within our
world. The angel also stands for the purity in humans that continuously gets torn down by the
hatred and cruelty of humans. Whereas Pelayo and Elisenda both stand for cruelty and greed
within our world.
III.
Research Question
Why did Pelayo and Elisenda treat the angel poorly and use him instead of helping him back
to health?
IV.
Background Knowledge
This story revolves around a family with a sick child, that finds an angel. The angel is used by
the family to gain wealth to buy a new house and to raise their child.
V.
Working Thesis Statement
This shows that Pelayo and Elisenda are the perfect example of how cruel, inhumane, and
greedy the people of our world can be because they caged the angel, and they made people
pay money to see him.
