"The Handsomest Man in the World" tells a very interesting story. There is truly beauty in imagination and in the reach of sympathy and compassion. This is a thought we can pull from the story.
In the story, a village adopts a drowned stranger ,and even some people from neighboring villages pay their respects to the dead man and adore him. The deceased stranger grows to be somehow like family to everyone in the village, though no one in the village or in neighboring villages ever knew him.This definitely demonstrates the reach of sympathy and compassion. Through the story, it becomes a somewhat beautiful reach, though maybe the prospect of what exactly is going on in the village is more than a little strange. Through the story we see that the villagers imagine what the drowned man might have been like, as if they knew him. The details get more and more elaborate through the story, and we know that there is a great deal of imagination going on in the village. The dead man inspires these people, and again, we see the beauty of this story.
I find that this story was well put together, and I like the passage. I do believe that this passage paints a nice light on imagination, sympathy, and compassion. This story gives you a lot to think about and to consider. This village went to a lot of trouble to be kind to the dead man. The story tells how the stranger came to be one of their own. Not only was he one of their own, but they painted him to be a remarkable person. They held someone they had never even met or heard of in the highest esteem. This thought is what is truly remarkable. These people had their eyes opened, and it didn't take much to open their eyes. It just had to be the right thing.
Could we be open to something like this under the right circumstances? I like to believe that anything is possible, but this question is one that might be best answered personally. Consider the past and the future. I'm sure there's something to observe there. The present might hold some clues, as well.
Personally, i would be terrified and call the police. i wouldn't think of the way he used to be, i would be thinking how there is a dead guy on a beach.
