     The theory about Magic Realism. Magic Realism is how we recognize the world although now not only because we have emerged from a dream, we look on it with new eyes.     The story A Very Old Man with Enormous Wings the people only see him as old, wore out, and very dirty. The people only failed to see his enormous wings witch appears to be on his back. In our world today we judge to quick and don't realize the important thing in life. Once this summer an old dirty man walks up to me and ask did I have any money but I was too quick to judge him and what he was about. After i realized he was a very nice man i had no problem with giving him money. Most people are treated bad but little thing like saying hey can make a persons day.    After they realized the man they gave him a place to stay it was not comfortable or friendly place to sleep it was there shed. Why wouldn't they give him a nice place to stay? Well I think its because they thought he was different and didn't belong. Although he may have looked different or act different in there eyes, he was no more different than them. In fact he was a human being just like them and deserved to be treated with respect.    Why are people cruel? Well I can gracefully say people are cruel because I too have been cruel. In the story A Very Old Man with Enormous Wings the children are mean to the old man they play and throw thing with and at him but for what reason. Well they didn't care about him they thought he is not one of us so treat him any kind of way. They thought that it gave them the right to step all over them and treat them like crap, but that not how we should do things its mean and very spiteful. When I say I have been cruel once I mean, once I called a person a name and laugh at them then I soon  realized that's not the way of life. We should not treat others like the people treated the old man  we should love and care for one another and the world could be a better place.
