A Very Old Man With Enormous Wings by Gabriel Garcia Marquez and The Yellow Wallpaper by Charlotte Perkins Gilman

The story 'A Very Old Man With Enormous Wings' is a tale of an old man who was an angel and landed on the earth. The yard he landed on was owned by Pelayo. Pelayo did not treat the old man very well and neither did the entire town or everyone round about. People came for miles to see the man of human form who had the wings of an angel. The wife of Pelayo thought of the winged man as a burden on her life. Father Gonzaga wrote to higher church leaders on what he should do with the angel. In the end the angel flies away and everyone is happy he's gone. 'The Yellow Wallpaper' is a story of woman who suffers from nervousness in her marriage and of her house. She describes many things in the house but, her main focus is the yellow wallpaper. The yellow wallpaper tortures her throughout the story. I think this lady is insane. She talks about a woman in the wall coming out and creeping around. In the end she ends up creeping around. It was a somewhat disturbing story. I think the narrator is indeed clinically insane. I liked the very old man with enormous wings a ton more. It is just more relatable and I could focus throughout the entire story. I plan on writing my essay about 'A Very Old Man With Enormous Wings' because I like it more. The old man to me is an angel. Throughout the story they say he could be demonic but I disagree. Elisenda sighs at the end because she is happy to have the burden of him released.
