Magic Pictures

I would like to talk about the picture on page 356. There are a bunch of children who are looking at the “stranger”, which is the goose. The children were gathering around, looking at the stranger as if they never saw anything like this before. To them, the stranger was something unfamiliar and odd. This is similar to the picture in my mind when I read the story “a very old man with enormous wings.” I have an imagination in my mind where everyone is just crowding around Elisenda’s house trying to take a look at the angel. I would say that this is very similar to what might be happening at her house. I am guessing that Elisenda hated when people were hanging around her house like that and that was the reason why she was charging all those people when they came into her house. She can both reduce the number of people coming into her house and earn some money off the angel. If the owner in the picture said to the children that they need to pay in order to look at the “stranger”, then most likely that is going to happen is that the children would go away.
