I think the Professor Conway assigned this story to see how we all interpret the writing. I took a literal approach to it. I read into the fantasy a bit, almost like a collective day dream within the town. I can’t say I am a huge fan of fiction but, i’ve experienced moments where I found myself imaging something grand and broad and unique out of common experiences so it was very relatable. However, I did enjoy the imagery the story provided. A provincial town with old customs and a desire for something new to happen. I believe that’s why something as natural and common as death and even coming across a man who drowned, can spark excitement.
