I was more interested in the passage The Handsomest Drowned Man In the World, because of the big insite it open on explaining magical realism. It was oozing of amazing details and full of imagery of having a day dreaming moment of being there. Reading the passage I definitly had a full connection of the MAGICAL REALISM WORLD! The Handsomest Drowned Man In the World tells about a man who is not clearly not human being but handsome and is so great in size he has unbelievable authority.
Definetly the whole put toghter of a man being so large and handsome but yet dead, could not have screamed interesting enough. The story really has the mixture of both worlds, reality and magic. I like the fact of a human like man being washed up from sea and so large of a human he was been compared to a over sized whale. He was still the handsomest man eyes could lay on, then over all his enormous appereance and good looks he was covered in scales! It left me wondering what type of people were they if they found a gigantic human covered in sea coverings and scales could be so handsome.
Over all this was a well put together of magical realism. All of the details and imagery painted a well define picture of the "second world", I like to call it. I don't know about you, but I'm human and for a second I almost thought the enormous scally like man was handsome too.
First off i want to say, this is a very nice passage. I mean you have a good word choice and i can tell that you got deep into this story. Since i wrote about thiis story too i understand how you feel about this story. This story really does stick out alot and i like how you explained your point. I like this, good job.
