I will be focusing my research essay on “The Most Handsome Drowned Man in the World” by Gabriel Garcia Marquez. This story explores the ways in which the arrival of the unknown drowned man invokes a sense of wonder among the people of the village and sparks their interest in the extraordinary. I have chosen literary articles as a secondary source of information to support my thesis. I have been searching mostly using the Gale Literary Sources database. I found this database to be very easy to utilize and my search returned many relevant articles. I have already read several interesting articles that provide helpful analysis of this short story and will contribute significantly to my essay. Some of the articles I found do not refer specifically to this title, but to other works by Garcia Marquez. I found these articles to be helpful as well as they show insight into this author’s writing style over time.

Yes, I do agree with you that some of the articles I went looking for too do not refer straight to that title of the story as I am doing my research essay on the same story. There weren’t really a lot of articles that referred to that specific title but I did find some. The townspeople also are taught a life changing lesson with this man about how they live their lives and the way they look at life.
Hi Lisa durant nice to see your doing this article. I have been looking in the Bmcc library for a few and finally found a good one for a secondary source. My thesis is showing how the article shows imagination and magical realism which fits great with the secondary source. Only problem now is finding a good primary source and then putting that into the combined essay. I see other students struggle to find these sources and im glad I wasn’t the only one.
What is your thesis statement?
Hello Professor. My thesis statement was the second sentence: “This story explores the ways in which the arrival of the unknown drowned man invokes a sense of wonder among the people of the village and sparks their interest in the extraordinary.”
