There are many viewpoints that I have read when it comes to this story. Though in my perspective, I believe this might have been assigned to open our minds up to the ability of change and imagination. These women knew absolutely nothing about this man – who they called “Esteban.” Yet because their mind created many scenarios that this man may have not been satisfied with his life, they change their surroundings in honor of him. “..everything would be different from then on, that their houses would have wider doors, higher ceilings, and stronger floors so that Esteban’s memory could go everywhere
without bumping into beams..” Pg. 8. They showed compassion for a stranger and that reflected on their own being. I feel like this can factor into today’s class. Despite being strangers, we can help each other grow. To help each other adapt to change and open a mind to a wider imagination.
