I think a simple structure of this story is important because the ideas are a little hard to understand (the idea of angels being normal), so the easy to understand structure allows the reader to focus on the pot rather than trying to understand how to read it. An example of the straightforward structure “Father Gonzaga arrived before seven o’clock, alarmed at the strange news. By that time onlookers less frivolous than those at dawn had already arrived and they were making all kinds of conjectures concerning the captive’s future.”]]> 2020-09-17 19:27:33 UTC https://padlet.com/dentonr5/h8c7z6y80d0xx8sk/wish/756791891 m4518_2 https://padlet.com/dentonr5/h8c7z6y80d0xx8sk/wish/756794394 Time and translation can alter a story because words can change meanings over time and based on the time when it was written, the readers outlook can be different.]]> 2020-09-17 19:28:26 UTC https://padlet.com/dentonr5/h8c7z6y80d0xx8sk/wish/756794394 https://padlet.com/dentonr5/h8c7z6y80d0xx8sk/wish/757098179 “A Very Old Man With Enormous Wings” has a style that is very straight forward yet confusing.

Their new born baby was very sick and close to death and when the Old Man fell he got better.

As the story went along the Old Man kept doing good deeds for the people especially Pelayo and Elisenda and wasn't a bother to anyone. But that still didn't change the way the people looked at him throughout the story.
