In my Opinion, the short story, "The Handsomest Drowned Man In The World" means many different things. The story shows us how humans care for others that we hardly know. It also shows how we are curious about things and how we want to understand what is going on around us. Most important, this story shows how we appreciate things more and more throughout our lives.
In this short story the people in the village care for a dead man. Now, in this day and time it might be a different to care for a dead man if your not a doctor, but it is still, somewhat the same. How this village cares for this dead man is in a strange way. These people clean him up, find new clothes for him and even prepare for his funeral.
We people are curious about a lot of things. It might be from wanting to know what your having for lunch to wanting to know if your pet loves you or not.. In this story the women seem very curious about this handsome, dead man. The women even gave the man a name, which is Esteban. The women were curious enough to even clean the sea leftovers off of the man. This shows how curious people can be.
In this story, this village cares a lot about this dead man. Usually if a town found a dead man now, they wouldn't want anything to do with him.. But in this story these people went out and beyond to care for this man. What these people did for this man is very sweet. It says in the story that the man was rather taller, and more built than a man in the village. After the people rest the man in peace they built their house taller and their doors wider, in appreciation for the dead man.
