Critique 8: The Colonel

   The eerie literary piece is filled with suspense as it unfolds into an unsolved mystery. If this was a movie, I think it would be a thriller. The part about human ears was shocking. It was an unexpected part of the plot. I did not expect something like that to appear in the plot.
   Also, there is something cultural about the setting because the show on the television is in English and the commercial is in Spanish. We also know that the narrator of the story is foreign because she says, "I was asked how I enjoyed the country." This idea is later confirmed when she says, "As for the rights of anyone, tell your people they can go fuck themselves." This is where tenseionn intensifies in the prose.
   The story proceeds with an indirect plot to the end.
