A Very Old Man With Enormous Wings is by far my favorite short story that we have read so far. This passage kept me engaged and interested on what was going on. The mood of this story was dark and mysterious. An old angel landing of a beach is not very common, which made me really want to keep reading. There was a pattern of ups and downs throughout the story. One day, the angle would be weak and sick, then on another day he would be perfectly fine running and playing in his cage. Also, the word choice kept me intrigued. Such as, catechism, ingenious, providential, iridescent, and frivolous.
Ever since we started annotating short stories, I seem to have realized that skimming is not really an option. I think that this skill will definitely help me in the long run. I love reading short stories because they aren't based on a true story, so they really can be about anything, and the stories we have been reading always seem to surprise me. I am excited to read more short stories in class.
