My Thoughts on The Handsomest Drowned In The Man and life itself

       Wow! "The Handsomest Drowned Man In The World" is so much like real life. I know this man has went through alot! This man has probably been judged while he was alive, now he is getting judged while he is dead. Even though there is some good comments there is also some bad comments also. I actually feel sorry for Esteban.
       In "The Handsomest Man In The World" by Gabriel Garcia Marquez, there are alot of points I could  have had that as stuck out to me. The biggest point to me and the point i am trying to make is don't judge a person if you do not know who they are or what their feelings are. Everybody has feelings and judging them won't do anything but hurt their feelings.
       In the story everybody in this village is judging Esteban by his outermost looks. The women of this village are saying that he probably was so handsom that he can cast all the fish out of the sea. To me, honestly that's not humanly possible and I don't think anybody is that handsome but if Esteban was alive I think he would like to have heard that. The men have a different outlook on Esteban. They say that people probably was greatful that he was probably broke alot of things and basically was very clumsy. I know that Esteban would probably be hurt to hear that and me personally, I don't think it's right. They shouldn't have judged Esteban becaue he didn't ask to be that big and because even though he is huge, he is still human and he has feelings.
       I think what I stated in my thesis statement is very true. In life itself, people are always being judged by their over looks. I don't think that's right because one of the main causes of suicide of teens is because of bullying which includes talking about somebody. Me, because of the person I am, get judged. People judge me by my looks and because the way I think and the way my mentality is. Even though people judge me I don't let it get to me but sometimes it does hurt me as well. NO ONE, should have to deal with being judged. No matter what size they are or how they look. We are all humans and we all have feelings.
