What a strange, strange story. I have so many questions about this story and don’t really have much more to say than just questions. First of all, why did he have wings? And is that a normal thing for people to have wings? In my opinion if I go next door the woman living there would have no idea what to do if a winged old man came down into my yard. So it must be more common than it is now for people to have wings. Secondly why didn't the old man take the child if in fact he was an “angel of death” and who came for the child. And are people really that stupid to think that a cage or bars could contain a supernatural being? There must be more to this story because at this point in the semester I know Professor Corrigan and he would not give us a story that was meaningless. So obviously I am missing something big. But what if I’m not what if it is just a stupid story and I am spending all this time trying to figure out what it means when it was just written for entertainment?  Oh, and what about the spider girl??? What was up with that? Obviously this is not the earth we live on because there are no spider girls so I am surprised that the people are so shocked by this angel. I can’t understand why people would come so far just to see what a fake was very possibly or an imposter angel. But I suppose my view is slanted because if anything big happened I could just turn on Bay News 9 and see it from my living room. All in all I did not like this story. Maybe once I have Professor Corrigan’s input my mind will change.
