Who am I as a reader ? Who I am as a writer ? ..... Who am I ?

"A Very Old Man with Enormous Wings: A Tale for Children"
It was an interesting story. To me the people were mean because they could have taken better care of him or tried to help him since he was an angel. Then they treated him like he was some animal and some people paid to see him which wasn't right at all. Plus Elisendsa said at the very end of the story that he wasn't an annoyance anymore which to me was just rude. If they didn't want him then they should have never picked him up in the first place. But overall it was a really good short-story and portrayed a lot of magical realism.
"The Handsomest Drowned Man in the World"
It was a sweet story to me. I can tell that the people were sincere. But, at the same time it was very sad because Estaban wasn't happy until he died and it took him dying for the towns people to change and open their hearts and finally come togather as a town and change things.
