I believe Professor Conway assigned “The Most Handsome Drowned Man,” by Gabriel Garcia Marquez as the first story for a few different reasons. One of the reasons would be due to the enthralling setting revolving around a dead man. This story was able to bring about a lot of discussion between the different analogies each student was able to come up with. Another reason would be the fact that this story was able to not only bring about imaginations to the villagers in the story, it also riled the entire class up with our own imaginations and stories. These are the reasons why I believed that Professor Conway assigned “The Most Handsome Drowned Man,” by Gabriel Garcia Marquez as the first story of our semester together.

One thought on “Brian Chan Discussion 2”
Hi Brian. I completely agree with your point on how the impact of the arrival of the drowned man to the strange village really changed the demeanor of the villagers in such a short time. I also agree with your statement on how the whole ordeal not only riled up the villagers in the story but we as readers were also flipping through our imaginations trying to create our own depiction of the drowned man.
