I think Professor Conway assigned, \u201cThe Handsome Drowned Man\u201d as our first story because it makes us think about how the people of the village see themselves, and how they see each other, and how stories like this one can change our views.\u00a0 This story shows us their hopes, fears, and dreams. The ladies of the village we so caring and kind to the drowned man. They also showed pity for him because he was so big, and nothing fit him!\u00a0 \u00a0They cared enough to clean him and make him pants big enough to fit him.\u00a0 They used their imagination\u2019s and made his pants out of sails. The words of this story give us imagery of how the village appeared. I think Professor Conway wants us to explore complex themes like identity and perception from this story. This is just the beginning of her challenge for us for this semester.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
