Comment on title of the story "A Very Old Man With Enormous Wings."

The title
ofshort story : A Tale for Children immediately gives the reader an idea of the storys genre.
Magicalis a genre which Gabriel Garc­a M¡rquez and other Latin American authors are known for.
This type of story weaves realism with elements of magical fantasy. From the title, the reader
immediately questions the existence of a human possessing very large appendages that make him a
winged creature. In addition, the reader wonders how the story is designed to be a tale for
children, and is alerted to read the story with childlike inquisitiveness. The title of the
story creates more questions than the story provides answers for. Who is the winged man
described in the title, and why is the story for children? Reading this story may leave you
wondering and fantasizing.
