Question: "The Handsomest Drowned Man in the World" contains a lot of summarized dialogue. Who seems to be speaking? There is minimal use of direct dialogue (please make sure you identify it, if you haven't already). Briefly discuss the overall effect that the summarized dialogue has on the story, and why Marquez may have gone with this style. You may also discuss the effect of that small bit of quoted dialogue. --"A small Good Thing" is written in third person with use of the free indirect style for interior thought. Please identify an example or two of interior thought, and anything you thought cool or technically adept about how Carver constructed or timed those lines. --This is your chance to name anything else you found interesting on the level of craft in either story, picking from all the elements we've covered in the fiction unit. Think structure, language, characterization (especially in "Drowned Man - who are the characters or voices in this story, in your opinion?). You may also discuss any redemptive quality you found in either story --these are rather tragic tales, and yet something more?
