Character Analysis Of Pedro's Immaturity In Young Pedro

151 Words1 Page

Young Pedro’s immaturity is evident in his opinion of his birthday gift. “On his birthday, they gave Pedro a soccer ball. Pedro complained, because he wanted one made out of white leather with black patches, just like the ones the professionals use” (Mazer 95) Though his parents tried to fulfill his wish for a soccer ball, he was not satiated by the lower-quality version.

  • Metaphors In A Very Old Man With Enormous Wings

    385 Words  | 2 Pages

    In A Very Old Man With Enormous Wings, author Gabriel Garcia Marquez uses imagery, simile, symbolism and metaphor to describe the mistreatment of an ‘angel’ that fell from the sky, revealing the theme that assumptions can lead to unwarranted misfortune for the one being judged. This theme is first presented when characters Pelayo and Elisenda discover a man with wings. “He was dressed like a ragpicker… his pitiful condition of a drenched great-grandfather took away and sense of grandeur he might have had” (Marquez, 975).
