Hello. I really liked the story “The Most Handsome Drowned Man” and how you (the professor) broke it down and ask questions to really make sure we understand what’s going on. I also like how we had to think from the characters perspective when it came to how they felt throughout the story duration.. I think you might have assigned this as the first story to show how far imagination can take you. Imagination is a factor that develops the plot. In the story we can see the small village go from finding a random body to using that imagination to build a story for this man without knowing him. The story ends up causing everyone to have sympathy for this man (Esteban) and even leads to them feeling inspired. Without the imagination of this story for Esteban the town would’ve stayed the same and they would’ve never tried to improve the village in memorial of him.

Lucille, yes, I hope the story sparks your imagination and opens your mind to the power of stories. They really can change one’s perspective and ideas.
Hello Lucille,
I also think that this story might’ve been assigned to help us start to think about imagination and how authors explore that in texts and stories. I think that once a author grabs your attention through imagination then you’ll be hook on the text, book, or story that’s being presented to you.
Do you think that you are someone who can dive into your imagination easily or do you struggle with that?
S.b. I submitted my previous response to you without my question attached, sorry.
