As Annie states in paragraph 6 on page 340, “to take care of my lover like a son,” she has this completely new relationship with him. Eventually he de-evolves all the way to a salamander and he gets to a more de-evolved state she does the only thing she can think of. This is to let him go both metaphorically and literally. Pelayo’s life is essentially in shambles dealing with the storm, the crabs, as well as his child being very sick. This guy with giant wings shows up and he has to deal with him.
He complains of hearing voices, from past superhero character in film, having trouble sleeping, substance use, anxiety and intimate relationships (Birdman, 2014).

This opertuniy is brought to them by a monkey's paw left in their position after a series of events involving a friend, who served in the British Armed Forces in India, Sergeant-Major Morris. In turn, their curiosity kills thier son. Obviously, Mr. and Mrs. White had not learned their lesson because after the couple burys thier son a grief strucken Mrs. White ask her husband to make another wish with the paw this wish indeed more selfish, wishing thier son back to life. (The Monkey's Paw, page 40.) Just like when asked by his wife the first time, Mr. White reluctantly does as asked.
Her husband uses his second wish to turn her back into a swan. Readers can compare and contrast the protagonist Mr. White in “The Monkey’s Paw” and Mr. Peters in “The Third Wish.” In “The Monkey’s Paw” and “The Third Wish,” the protagonists have similar characteristics. In both stories, Mr. White and Mr. Peters are both considerate. In “The Monkey’s Paw,” Mr. White, despite knowing the possible consequences of his second wish, wishes his son alive again for his wife. W.W. Jacobs writes, “‘Wish!’ she cried, in a strong voice.
The tourists drink in every word the priest says, almost seeming hungry for more. MacCaig cleverly portrays them as birds, using words such as “clucking” and “fluttered” , making them seem like brainless followers who, despite taking in every word the priest said: “passed the ruined temple outside” Here we are told that the tourists and the priest walked right by the beggar, pretending he didn’t exist. This is a strong example of hypocrisy as the tourists have just been told to help the poor, yet walk by this “ruined temple”, perhaps described like this to remind us he is a living, breathing man who has fallen on hard times. Later in the third stanza, another contrast within the beggar is made known. The dwarf is further described, and the reader is told he has infected eyes and a hunchback, further bringing about feelings of sympathy in the reader towards this unfortunate man as we imagine his discomfort.
In addition, their father leaves the family forcing Rowan to replace him in the Clark family. Now Rowan is so stranded and far too busy to complain about her current situation. Entire responsibility of taking care of her sister and her sick mother who lies in bed whole day, lies upon her shoulders. The deprived Jane Clark tries to escape all torture by attempting suicide as she can't take it anymore. She can't think of flying as before with these broken wings, until a strange boy with a American accent shoves a negative into Rowan' s hands.
The most unfortunate invalids on earth came in search of health: a poor woman who since childhood had been counting her heartbeats and had run out of numbers; a Portuguese man who couldn’t sleep because the noise of the starts disturbed him; … and many other with less serious ailments” (554). Everybody really wants to learn if it is a real angel or “just a Norwegian with wings”. Even a local priest Father Gonzaga not being sure about a man with wings being a real angel writes “a letter to his bishop so that the latter would write to his primate so that the latter would write to the Supreme Pontiff in order to get the final verdict from the highest courts”(553). The whole town keeps watching the angel until one day a carnival attraction arrives bringing a spider-woman who tells her story about being changed into the spider for disobeying her parents. Everybody goes to see a poor lady and learn her moral lesson.
How society and the family in the story handled the situation was surprising. There are moments in the story of cruel and unsympathetic towards the angel. Marquez shows us how the old man with wings had to go through hardships because of society and their expectations. The scenery place where the old man landed really expressed how the short story was told. For example the story started off by saying that do to the rain Pelayo had “killed so many crabs” because his new born was sick of the stench the crabs had created in the air.
Frank is not happy with his life as he tried to commit suicide. Dwayne is determined to reach his unattainable goal of becoming a jet pilot and does not like the rest of his family.
