Reaction to "A Hanging"

"A Hanging" was a really good short story in my opinion. It shows what humans are capable of, and how we deal with certain things that we do. For example, the guards in the story show no emotion toward what they do. They kill people every day and don't feel anything. I think that they learned not to feel anything when they kill because they figure that they can't do anything about it, so why hurt themselves emotionally. I also liked this story because of the dog. In this story the dog shows compassion towards the prisoner; something that none of the human beings were able to do.
