To summarize the short story of “The Handsomest Drowned Man In The World”by Gabriel Garcia Marquez, it is about how a drowned man was washed up by shore at a village. The body was first discovered by children who had innocent brains to process what a dead body was. They began playing around with the body until the adults of the village stopped them. They carried the body back to try and discover if this was either one of their people or if it was from somewhere else. But as they were discovering the body, they began to appreciate the beauty of the man from his physical features to their imagination on what they thought he was and did. Since they didn’t have any room in the village to keep the body and couldn’t determine if the body was one of them, they let it float back into the ocean. Professor Conway could’ve used this story as a way of showing that there is hope in this cruel world. And also to be positive when expecting the unexpected and embrace it because everything happens for a reason.
