Darius & the Clouds
Darius and the clouds is a short vignette, nearly three small paragraphs. It's main idea is about a classmate of Esperanza's whose name is Darius. She describes him as a quite but daring child, "who doesn't like school; who is sometimes stupid and mostly a fool." Although, one day he says something wise, and pointed up into the sky. As his finger stretches to the clouds he tells his classmates that one cloud, next to the popcorn one, is God.
Why would a quiet, ecentric young boy like Darius say and do something so forward?
What did he mean by his statement?

i think when this eccentric boy says this. it shows that all people are more than they appear. at the core of every person they have thoughts that they would never say alloud. it was so profound becuase he is not the kind of person to say that.

i think it means that he can take apreciation in beauty. the sky the clouds, no one can control the cloudes but "god". and in this book its seen as a out of charicter thing for him to say, thoe its also thought as wise for a person of his stature

Maybe Darius was feeling lonley and felt like he should put himself out there. He wanted to let the others know at what God shows people at what he makes.
he was saying that the clouds were a beauty only god could create and that they made everything happier when they're in the sky.
