I did not really understand this reading. I am normally able to catch onto short stories but I was not able to catch on to this one. I feel like I annotated it very thoroughly but it didn't really make sense to me. From what I caught, man with enormous wings is about an old sailor who survived a shipwreck, the rest of the story is about how people come to see him from faraway place. Personally this story had little to no meaning to me, and it didn't hit home at all. In order for a short story to be interesting it has to have a decent and somewhat inspiring hook, and the rest of the story has to build off the hook. The man with enormous wings's story did not build off the hook, and that made me lose interest.
3 questions
1. What do crabs have to do with this story?
2. why would they keep the "angel" captive
3. why would a family make people pay to see an angel
