I believe you assigned the reading “The Most Handsome Drowned Man” because it is an interesting and, in a way realistic, understandable and relatable story that is great to start off with because it gave a great first impression to the class and what the future readings may look like or seem like. It gave a realistic, but still keeping that ominous and magical tone to it, of bringing in a stranger and showing us readers how people can be quick to make assumptions about one another, good or bad and how that can affect others as a whole. As the first reading to a new class it seems that there could be a relation as to how we as students can make our own assumptions and opinions off on any little aspect. I also believe it was a great story, author and genre introduction to get a familiarization with wording, grammar and the plot in general.

One thought on “Celine Ghany Discussion 2”
I agree, the story really highlighted the assumptions we make when we don’t know someone. The people thought of so many positive attributes, the reality is they has no idea who this man was. They assumed that since he was so big, he had a tough time going in different houses. They felt proud of him, worried about his dignity all without ever knowing him. I think it also shows the type of people they were, to do all those things for a man they didn’t know.
