"The Handsomest Drowned Man in the World" by Gabriel Garcia Marquez (Columbia)


In the story of "The Handsomest Drowned Man in the World" is very interresing and sad at the same time. When they go and see who was missing from the other villages the ladies made him some clothes bacuse he was to big and tall that nothing was his size. When they decided to send him to the sea they were planing to tie him with an anchor so he wouldnt come back. But they realized the reason why he had came with them and did not tie the anchor on him so he could come back anytime he wanted. Since then everything changed and the people started to make big and tall houses.
The kind of funeral i want my friends and family have for me is simple. I dont want such of a big thing because i wont be there with them no more. I want people to wear all white and not black and i dont want people to cry for me. The funeral i want its not similar to any other i have seen because most of them people wear black and feel all sad. This story reveals how many Latin Americans care for death people even though they didnt know that person. They try to have the best funeral they can.
