THE HANGING STRANGER - PHILIP K DICK

Write a critique using Colombian context



The Hanging Stranger by Philip K Dick, talk about a man called Loyce that found a man hanging in a lamppost, he was scared but nobody pay attention about it, what he doesn’t know was that everybody transforms in aliens, in his house he kill one of his sons and in one part of the story he disappeared and appeared in other place, for me this was a great short story all the elements make that the reader enjoys the text, I would like that the author include more details and that there appeared more parts with the aliens, taking into account the Colombian context we can related with the ignorance of the people because everybody in the story think that Loyce was crazy, also we can related with the discrimination in the Colombian society because some people criticize other humans just for the social status that they had or because the color of the skin, in conclusion The Hanging Stranger was a great story and give as a reflection in a writing that the reader adore and make that we stop and think about life.
