I believe that you assigned “The Handsomest Drowned Man In the World” as the first reading because it teaches us to be more welcoming of others. We are always so quick to judge others, without getting to know them. I think that is such a terrible thing we do as humans. In the story, the women assumed a lot about the man’s living style but turned out to be completely wrong. Another thing we can learn is that, you never know who you’ll meet and how they can turn out to have an impact on your life. In the story, when the man passed away, everyone kept him close in their hearts and memories. Also, when the man was drowning, I like how everyone came together to help. That’s how it should be. Coming together to help someone is such a beautiful thing and I think we need more of that in today’s world.

I agree with you and I too believe we are very quick to judge people based off their looks and appearance or built, it is a terrible thing. Instead of jumping to conclusions and be so quick to assume we should allow ourselves to put our opinions and our own perceptions of people aside and be more accepting rather quick to judge. Death can be a beautiful thing and the way they felt about the man and him passing on was sweet of the woman but disgraceful to their husbands. I did like how everyone came together to help the man when they found him drowning as well. These people definitely care about their people and treat them with kindness even in death.
