Marquez’s characterization of the creature makes the reader sympathize with him because the locals do not know how to care for him. Since the creature is so diverse, the community treats him like “…a science experiment, a holy figure, and a freak show.” (p. 150) Likewise, when I was a child, I was illiterate until the third grade. Being a late bloomer in life can affect a child’s self-esteem because I was reading the first-grade book in a fifth-grade class and automatically was subjected to bullying and isolation like the creature in “The Old Man with Enormous Wings”.

One time Dr. King inspired me to face my fear and keep moving forward. I have always had a big fear of public speaking and the thought of it had always sent me into an agitated state of stuttering and sweaty palms. I was always nervous when I had to present in front of my class for little projects and book reports, it has gotten better over the years, but I would never volunteer to go first or volunteer at all, I would just wait for the teacher to call on me.

Ever since then, he never talked to anybody, not even his gang in which he felt safe. Until that night in the movie theater Johnny with his friend Ponyboy, with two Socials named Sherri (Cherry) Valance and her friend Marcia, will forever make him talk especially Ponyboy's retelling them about how Johnny gets beaten up by the "four Socials in a blue Mustang while getting

Lake also mentions that he might not be doing so well in class is because the other children in class are picking on him because of his long hair. He mentions that there are many days that his son comes home crying and pleading him to cut his hair.

My freshman class full of 15-year old 's were forced to read and write essays about the constitution and politics we knew and understood nothing about: It was the most tedious and doltish idea in the world. [JK3] We had no interaction in the classroom, everything we did seemed black and white with a side of boring and strict. [JK4] The class was constant reminders of the almighty state exam and how we needed so bad to pass it. After so long I lost all interest that I attempted to have and just waited in the prison, English class, until my sentence was up. When the state exam finally came it was nothing relevant to all that we had studied the entire year.

I was either on the court or in the small classroom working hard.
