G.G. Marquez's"A Very Old Man with Enormous Wings" Quick Notes
Pelayo and Elisenda find a angel(old man w/ enormous wings) when their child has a fever. The child recovers and his parents keep the chicken coop until the child, who was a baby starts school. The angel is an attraction for awhile and then not. Then, the coop falls down and the angel lives in house for awhile. The angel is a nuisance in the house, becomes sick and Pelayo and Elisenda give him a blanket and fear he's dying, and when he's better he flies away. Pelayo and Elisenda are happy to see him go.
"A&P" by John Updike Quick Notes
A 19 year old, A&P store cashier stares at three assured well-to-do young women in bathing suits. They stand out to him because, his other customers were old and boring. Anyway, the guy quits his job over these women who in end don't hang around for him. In other words, the girls never cared about him and left.
