In my opinion, you assigned \u201cThe Most Handsome Drowned Man\u201d to us as the first story of the course because to show how the author illustrates that the people who come into our lives, even in the most unusual circumstances can change our outlook on the world. The dead man is brought to the village and cared for by the women. At first the women are overtaken by his beauty and physique. Slowly the drowned man becomes Esteban.
\nEsteban evolves from a nameless corpse to a loved member of the community in just a short time as the villagers make him a part of their family. Esteban\u2019s greatness inspires the villagers to rise up and transform their village into something of greatness. The villagers a commit to, \u201cpaint their houses gay colors\u201d and \u201cbreak their backs digging for springs among the stones and planting flowers on the cliffs\u2026\u201d so the people would be, \u201csuffocated by the smell of gardens on the high seas\u2026\u201d It is strange to think of a bloated dead man being able to inspire a small village and bring them together to transform their mundane lives into something extraordinary. However, the author teaches that every once in a while someone washes up into our lives and makes a difference. Most of the time it is unexpected and might not be what we had in mind, but is exactly what we need<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
