The Colonel Revisited

At first I didn't understand why such a story can be considered literature but after class I can see how it is considered lit. Even though I am not sure I completely agree with it. It makes sense that the reason it is considered literature is because they use the words perfectly so that they don't say too much but you find out sooooooo much about the few words they do say. I just don't feel like there was much story to it and I still don't get the point of the story.
