The very old man with enormous wings.

I believe the man is not a real angel, but a metaphoric one. He doesn't seem to be holy or have any inhuman powers, besides the wings. For the people whose house he landed near he brought them good luck until he left. Using the money they made from showing him off to other people they were able to become rich and afford renovations to their house. I think the meaning of this story is that you should be kind to strangers, because they can give you good fortune.

2) Writing that has enough detail to illustrate that you’ve read the homework
3) Depth of thought, either in asking insightful questions(not rhetorical ones) or insightful comments that illustrate complexity of the text
4) Evidence from the text that supports your insights and not plot summary
