In the story The Handsomest Drowned Man in the World the story takes place in a small village in Colombia. In the story it talks about a handsome drowned man that floats ashore on the small village. There these woman pay close attention to him while the men get mad and then become ashamed because they saw the handsome man. Then because of their guilt the men gather the villagers in a well thoughtout funeral. In the ceremony they sail him ashore again and their lives change forever because of Esteban.
Describe in detail what kind of funeral you want your friends and family to have for you. Explain why. Is this similar to other funerals you've been to? Explain why or why not. What does this story seem to reveal about Latin Americas' attitudes toward death?
The kind of funeral I want is a small funeral that only my closest family and friends attend. The reason I want a small funeral is because those are the one that were usually present in my life. This is in a way similiar to other funerals I've been to because family and friends attend. The story reveals that in Latin Americas' attitude toward death is that there should be a good funeral for that person so they can leave this world in peace.
