Analytical Book Review Number Two: The Invention Of Wings Going back to the early 1600s, the practice of using Africans as a form of slavery was brought to the American colonies as a form of free labor. The slaves often worked on cotton,tobacco and sugar plantations. In this novel “The Invention of Wings” the book is based in the early 1800s in Charleston South Carolina and goes back and forth between Handful and Sarah Grimke's life. Handful is Sarah's waiting maid and Sarah is her master,who is later to become a Quaker and an abolitionist.
Pre-Civil War, period in which reformers emerged to fight against slavery, and the elimination of racial and gender discrimination. They wanted to create a change in society to get a better world for future generations. More significantly, reformers created campaigns to "reduce drinking, establish prisons, create public schools, educate the deaf and the blind, abolish slavery, and extend equal rights to women (Digital History). " Then, inequality between white or black, women or men, rich or poor are the common differences that society is facing from long ago. This is the case of Sue Monk Kidd, who presents a story from the nineteenth century.
Treated unfairly, beaten and put down slaves, had no rights in the novel The Invention of Wings. Sue Monk Kidd explained abolition at its greatest point of effectiveness. Abolitionists despised slavery and did everything in their power to abolish it. It took courage to be an abolitionist because an abolitionist had to take the harder path and stand up to the people who opposed ending slavery. In the novel the characters face hardship, sorrow and loss, but it is through their ability to be courageous that helps them learn best what they must do to survive.

Mary was very afraid but she trusted God. '

“The Invention of Wings,” written by Sue Monk Kidd may seem like a light-hearted novel based on the title. Perhaps a fantasy or fiction book, but when you open up and turn the pages you will find that The Invention of Wings is not a mystical fantasy, or a fun silly fiction, but a powerful and moving historical novel on slavery and women empowerment.

Hetty (Handful), and Sarah Grimké had a close bond from the start of the novel.

He described them as far below God but high above man that are purely spirit and have the intellect of will. This means to me that they have no physical body and they can make their own choice to be with God or turn away from him. I can apply this knowledge of what Venerable Sheen thinks about angles to our many discussions on matter, form, sustenance, and accidents. From what Sheen said, I know that angels can’t have any matter or a form. This idea truly stands out to me because I have always thought of angels as flying babies that play harps but now I know that is definitely not the case.
Especially during the first days call me when the hen pecked at him searching for the stellar parasites that proliferated in his wings, and the cripples pulled out feathers to touch their defective parts with, and even the most merciful threw stones at him, trying to get him to rise so they can see him standing.” This shows the fact that they threw a stone at the angel makes them violent and inhumane. This also shows that humans have no patience and respect for the angel because they are not letting him have his privacy. When a chicken coop collapse the angel was inside the house however Pelayo and Elisenda and I were not caring Nor were they concerned about the angel, instead “ They Would drive him out
In A Very Old Man With Enormous Wings, author Gabriel Garcia Marquez uses imagery, simile, symbolism and metaphor to describe the mistreatment of an ‘angel’ that fell from the sky, revealing the theme that assumptions can lead to unwarranted misfortune for the one being judged. This theme is first presented when characters Pelayo and Elisenda discover a man with wings. “He was dressed like a ragpicker… his pitiful condition of a drenched great-grandfather took away and sense of grandeur he might have had” (Marquez, 975).

The wing itself is “to take what is heavy and raise it up into the region above, where the gods dwell; of all things connected with the body, it has the greatest affinity with the divine,” (Lamborn 7) An angel in the forms of younger humans, such as toddlers or babies, are to represent innocence and joy (Stevenson 8). The human faced angels are powerful symbols of angelic feelings.
