 * Affectionate - I chose this word to describe how the people felt while seeing the attraction that came to town. The people who went to see her felt very affectionate towards seeing her in her state.**


 * Misfortunate - I felt that this word describes the state of the women that came to town. As described in the book, I too felt a little bad for her.**


 * Sneaky - This word I think best describes the women when she was sneaking out as a child, as mentioned inthe story. When she was younger she would sneak out of her parents house to go to a dance.**


 * Clumsy - This word very well described the angel. Elisenda was cutting some bunches of onions and when she went to her window. She saw the angel and saw the angel at first flight. When flying he was very clumsy and wasn't able to really get a grip of the air.**


 * Useless - I chose this word to describe the wise neighbor women. When they thought the angel was about to die, even she was unable to figure out what to do with them.**

= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =Image Finder: Mickelle= This image is important to the story "A Very Old Man With Enormous Wings" because the family that found the angel didn't really care about him at all at first, they just cared about the money they were getting from all the people who wanted to see him. = = It was raining on the night they found the angel, and this set the scene for the angel being sad and old and dreary, like how the rainstorm was making every one feel. The wings of the angel were really the only reason he was special to anyone at all, if it hadn't been for his wings he probably would have been treated like any other old man, instead of like a circus animal. The ocean is one of the places on earth that man kind knows the least about, and this is where the angel came from, and where he disappeared to. This signifies that they didn't know anything about him, and maybe they just weren't supposed to. The Roman Catholic Church was an important part of this story. Mainly because of what the people thought an angel was supposed to be like and who they went to for knowledge about the angel.
