Everything happens for a reason or so I belive. Things happen for all kinds of reasons, some we can explain then some we can not explain. Its all part of a learning process. Other people might say its magic or destiney, some might know what to think about these type of situations.I honestly dont know how to put it into a summed up into a sentence.
Events in stories are like movies. One simple thing leads to another, we get to the climax, then it leads off to the falling action then its the dramatic ending. The short story, The Tale of a Very Old Man with Enormous Wings is very much like a movie.
This short story is a simple peice of work with extrodanary detail and gradually pulls you in with suspence. Thus, when a man with just an ordanary family and a very sick child, stumbles across a very old man that has emormous wings of crow feather in a patch of mud you wonder why it is happening.
It fact, it was no accident that the man stumbled across the angle. It was no accident that the author intended to write this. The author wanted our minds to try and picture and think of the reason he did this. This is not for basic entertainment, its was to thinking challange for our minds. It ment something in some way to the author. My point exactly in which everything happens for a reason.
