"Darius and the Clouds" taken from The House on Mango Street by Sandra Cisneros
You can never have too much sky. You can fall asleep and wake up drunk on sky, and sky can keep you safe when you are sad. Here there is too much sadness and not enough sky. Butterflies too are few and so are flowers and most things that are beautiful. Still, we take what we can get and make the best of it.
Darius, who doesn't like school, who is sometimes stupid and mostly a fool, said something wise today, though most days he says nothing. Darius, who chases girls with firecrackers or a stick that touched a rat and thinks he's tough, today pointed up because the world was full of clouds, the kind like pillows.
You all see that cloud, that fat one there? Darius said, See that? Where? That one next to the one that looks like popucorn. That one there. See that. That's God, Darius said, God? somebody little asked. God, he said, and made it simple.

Darius says one of the clouds is God in "Darius and the Clouds." What he means by that, is that since his town doesn't have a lot of narture, he make-believes that the cloud next to the one that looks like popcorn, is god. And it makes him feel like there is nature all around him. The sky resembles peace.
What I think he meant by that statment was that in there neighborhood there is really nothing beautiful to look at. So he thinks that since he only sees the clouds and butterflies ect. He thinks that the one cloud that's fat is what god created.
Darius means that god is the cloud in that god created nature and the clouds are the only nature they have around you. It is wise because people didn’t think like that and it was true. That is why I think Darius is wise.
Darius was saying one of the clouds was god because they dont have any nature around them. He says that also because god created that cloud. That is the only thing god created that is around them. That one single little cloud meant alot to him.
there isnt much nature so he make beliieves that that cloud is nature cause god created nature and he wants nature but there is none
he thinks god created that cloud because there is no nature and he wants nature around him because god created it
Darius means when he says look people that cloud is God.
when he says that he means that the sky is the only nice thing around this place.
And the cloud was big beautiful and shown the symbol of peace and happnies. And treid to lift every one up around that place. So people will fell like this town is not as bad after all.
In the vignette “Darius and the Cloud”, Darius says about a cloud being god. What he means is that since he lives in the city then he does not see that much nature, besides the sky. And that cloud symbolizes god, which is spreading around nature with clouds, butterflies, and flowers. This makes feel like he has nature upon him.
I think Darius is wise because he knows that clouds are mighty like God. It looks down at every one from the highest point just like God. Also, the simple way he understands God portrays Darius as a innocent figure.
