While reading this story, it really caught my attention. I feel like this was assigned as the first story because it shows us that the stories we will be reading from now on will be similar but different. Similar in the way that every story will be eye-catching and you’ll want to keep reading. For example, I was able to imagine a big blue sea and the village just being a little ahead. I wanted to watch Titanic after reading this because of the way it was described and this movie was the first to come to mind. It will be different by all the themes and settings that all the stories will be held at. I believe that the stories ahead will all have the similarity of being interesting and there will be a deeper explanation to it. Them seeing Esteban really changed the way they wanted to live and this shows how one person/thing can impact many people for the better.

I for sure relate to you on wanting the story to keep going on. Gabriel García Márquez seems to have a really captivating storytelling voice. I am sure that upcoming assignments will feature similarly great authors as well and I am excited about what else the rest of the course has in store for us. I look forward to exploring all the new realms and worlds that our readings are about to introduce us to.
Araceli, it’s so nice to read about how the story set off your imagination in so many directions. This story is very much about the power of imagination. As we know, the handsome man is dead. No one knows his life story. So the people in the village create a life story for him. They imagine someone greater than themselves, and then they set out to live up to this story, enlarging their lives and seeing things in new ways.
Hello Araceli
I agree with you because I think from other story will be similar to imagine while we reading. The story from Gabriel Garcia was like an imagination.
