I have attached sources that i would like you to use
. I would like if you kind of make it seem like a 12th or 11th grader writer wrote it because I’m not that good at writing. Also be sure to have a Work cited page in MLA format and Do Not include the work cited page as one of the five pages. All material garnered from sources whether paraphrased or quoted directly should be identified with parenthetical citations and cited in a Works Cited page in proper MIA format. This is my reading response from the story this may help a lil bit My response to reading this story is very mind wandering and mythical. The villagers were shocked about the drowned man. Even though the man has drowned, the village treats him as if he were still alive. They gave the man life by imagining how the town would be if he lived in their village. They had felt sad that the man was handsome and tall, but the man could not help it. The villagers only felt sorry for him because he was very much different from everyone else. He had to have unique things made for him.
I believe the man who drowned brought the village together better than ever. At first, they thought the man was disgusting until they cleaned him up and saw how handsome and more prominent he was. I was wondering why the villagers would do all they did for a man who had drowned in the water. They cleaned him up as if he were still alive but was under some spell and had not woken up yet. I was thinking as I was reading the story he would end up waking up at some point in the story, but the whole time, the villagers were imagining him living there with them in their village. In the report, it said that he had the face of a man named Esteban, but I was thinking, what if it was Esteban and the mythological story about the giant man was confirmed in the report? They said it was him, but they could not believe it.
Reading this story gave me chills because why would they get a dead man out of the water and treat him as if he were alive? What makes them want to dress him up and treat him as if he was from their village? Their imagining as if he were living with them made them come together as one and make the village as if he were living in their town because, in the story, it says, “they did not need to look at one another to realize that they were no longer all present, that they would never be. But they also knew that everything would be different from then on, that their houses would have wider doors, higher ceilings, and stronger floors so that Esteban’s memory could go everywhere without bumping into beams and so that no one in the future would dare whisper the big boob finally died, too bad, the handsome fool has finally died, because they were going to paint their house fronts gay colors to make Esteban’s memory eternal.”
As I end this response, they took his death as f if they knew, but, in the end, he was still a stranger to them. This story shows me that you do not have to know someone to care about them genuinely. They loved the drowned man like he was one of them. They showed they cared about him by coming together as a community, and in memory of his loss, they built the village as if he were living there. They showed so much respect for him they named the town after him in love in memory of him.
