The reason why I think this story(“The Handsomest Drowned Man”) was chosen for us to read is that this is a very interesting short story, and with a lot of questions to ask about, it is also a nice way to start the course with a fantasy story because the drowned man seems like imagination or illusion for me in a way. Esteban The Handsomest Drowned Man changes to villages in a way people rethinking of themselves “They secretly compared him to their own…most useless creatures on earth”. Also, the details from the dead body, women in the village can imagine what kind of person Esteban is and the things he has been through, which is very incredible because the dead body can’t talk about what happened to him, but women in the village can from the smallest details to a story. Personally, for me, the story seems like the dead body entering a place where it is an isolated land.
