The story, A Very Old Man With Enormous Wings: A Tale For Children, has a story behing that most people wouldn't recognize. This man just all of a sudden fell out of the sky! That's unreal right? People we afraid, amazed, and many other things towards him. When I started reading this, I was thinking to myslef, 'Why am I reading this?' Not only did I have to read this for my summer assignment, it also caught my attention.
When I read the part where the man had fallen from the sky, I immediately thought that it was a fallen angel. Throughout this story, I thought about the Bible. When people were sick back iin the old days, families would take them to Jesus so he could heal them. That's exactly what this man mysterious man did! They would bring them and he wuold magivally heal them.
During the time of when Jesus was alive, when someone sinned, he would change them into different things. Sometimes it was animals, objects, and maybe a different person. When the girl in this story disobeyed her parents, the man had swtched her into a spider. This stroy has a lot of events that have happened in the Bible. Many peole in this story believed he was an angel, but most were not convinced.
This "so called angel" took no part in his act. What I mean by that is he was humble. He never let the popularity get to him. Jesus never let his popularity go to his head. He was always humble and just helped every way possible. This man just keeps reminding me of Jesus.
All of the people in this tale could never really figure out what he actually was. I strongly believe this man was a fallen angel. Angels are willing to do anything to help people, and that's what this man did. God and him were only worried about themselves and keeping themselves healthy. This is why I think this story has a story behind it, you just have to look deeper.
I completely agree with your point that it was referring to the Bible!
