Idalmi Abreu discussion 1

The story ” The handsomest Drowned Man in the World” and “A Very Old Man with Enormous Wings” have a deep meaning regarding to people’s imagination. I think the professor assigned this story as our first class because it argues about how a great person can change others, even after death, and inspire them to be better people. In the story it shows how a dead man change a whole views, he was a very “big man” compared to rest of the village, they would’ve wanted him to be small like the rest, but after his death a woman from the village had an internal feeling  of changing  their surroundings instead. I think we were assigned for this story first to show us how valuable something that we don’t find important can be, and how little things can change our life or the way we think. It also shows how to be genuine, help and understand people.
