.... the angel in the chicken coop. Later in the day, Father Gonzaga attempted to speak to the angel. However, to his surprise, the angel did not speak Latin, the language of God, in the Father's view. Father Gonzaga thought that the old man was an angel, not one sent by God but the angel of death.

Both the angel and the spider women intrigued the minds of the people, but affe .....

.... the changes of autumn leaves, bordering on the aging process and his hair turning gray. The boughs which shake are the tremors his body is having reminding himself once more that he is not as young as he use to be and ageing has left him feeling like he has lost the power to write. By focusing on the fact that ageing is a slow and discouraging process he is building on the hopes that someone will feel sorry for him and acknowledge the fact that he may die soon. In me thou see’st the twilight of such day As after sunset fadeth in the west, Which by and by black night doth take away, Death’s second self, that seals up all in rest. The .....

.... is not a foreign idea to Erdrich's writing either. Both "Pomegranate Seed" and "The Red Convertible" begin with lonely characters. Charlotte begins the story remembering her friends sometimes stopped by, but "Sometimes--oftener--she was alone"(Wharton 317).

Lyman walking every pl .....

.... went to sea, and from there sailed on and off for the next twenty years. These twenty years were the basis if not the absolute pure nautical theme that flows throughout many of his novels.
