I think professor assigned us this story “The Handsomest Drowned Man” by Gabriel Garcia Marquez as the first story because the story it seems to be a novel, and I believe this story will be similar to other assignments we will have. This story was like an imagination. When I first started to read from the beginning, I imagined a drowned man and seems to take on the shape. The children started to think that the drowned man was the enemy ship because they never have seen him. As the people of the town attempted to discover his identity and prepare his body for burial, they discover he taller, strong and more handsome than any man they ever have seen. When they thought he might be a whale, after they realize he is a drowned man, they treated him like he was from there and belongs there. By the end of the story, his presence has influenced them make their own village and their own lives better than they had previously imagined possible.
