The very old man was an angel and he couldnt get up because of his wings. Instead of helping hi, Pelayo and Elisenda locked up the angel to view and torture him like a circus animal instead of a magical creature.
They locked him up in a wire chicken coop. Tossing food through the opening of the chicken coop like he was an animal instead of a magical creature. People came to view and torture him, by "burning his side with an iron for branding steers, because he had been motionless for so many hours that they thought he was dead.
I have not only read this story but witnessed someone, a close friend to me and my cousin, get get mocked and tortured. She was being raped by her father everynight and day while her mother wasn't home. When she tried to tell her mother, she thought she was lying and she wouldnt believe her. Whenever she went to school, the other girls would call her names, not knowing her conditions at home.
She wanted to kill herself, she tried to overdose but we stopped her before she could. We took her to the hospital and they pumped her stomach to get it out of her system.
The point I'm trying to make is that you should never judge someone by what they look like, what they wear, or who they are. WHAT IF IT WAS YOU!!!
I like how you tied in a real life experience to how the people in the story. I agree that people should stop judging others on what they wear, what they look like, and who they are. That is morally incorrect and should be looked down upon.
