"The Handsomest Drowned Man in the World".
Throughout life there are many things that change or influence our lifestyle. In the short story The Handsomest Drowned Man in the World by Gabriel Garcia Marquez Esteban affects the village in many ways by changing the way they thought, looked at life, and how they lived their lives. He showed the villagers another perspective of life outside the village. Both men and women grew attached to Esteban and all related to him in their own way. The villagers had never seen anything like him and that was the reason of Esteban having such a large impact on the village.
Esteban was first discovered by a group of children on a sunny day on the beach. They discovered something that would change their village and the people living in it, forever. They realized that there are people different from them in the world and that Esteban was one of them. "When they laid him on the floor, they said he'd been taller than all other men because there was barely enough room for him in the house, but they thought that maybe the ability to keep on growing after death was the nature of certain drowned men." They did not have even have to clean off his face to know that he was a stranger. Esteban was indeed a blessing to the village in the end after all the things he had taught them without even saying a word. After all, it was rare to have visitors in the village from the outside world that is why Esteban had such an impact.
The arrival of this special guest made the villagers ponder about many things in life that they had never thought about before. They used their imaginations to try to picture how Esteban would spend a day considering if he lived in the village. "They could see him in life, condemned to going throughout doors sideways, cracking his head on crossbeams, remaining on his feet during visits, not knowing what to do with his soft pink sea lion hands while the lady of the house looked for her most resistant chair and begged him to sit down.
