While reading this story I believe that the reason we were assigned to read this is because you want us all to participate and to come together and work as one. This idea came to me because as it states in the second paragraph they say that they found a whale along the sea which came out the water but when they cleaned it a little better it instead was a man who drowned so the first thing they did with his body was take it to someone reliable to find out a little more about it and how it could have ended up on the sand. They then were trying to come to solutions that it could’ve been some one apart of the village so they wanted to go around and make sure it was not. This to me shows that they are working as a team to find out what really happened to the guy and who he really is.
