Literature – just one paragraph

For this assignment, imagine yourself in the story “A Very Old Man with Enormous Wings.”  Write your own reaction to the old man.  What would you think, say, do in response to the old man?  Be as creative, colorful, and clear as you can be.  You can write this as a narrative (story).  You do not have to rewrite the whole story–just put yourself into a paragraph or so using the 1st person (I) narrative point of view.
