"Stop The Sun" Literary Focus Question # 5

            In the story "Stop The Sun", Terry and his mother have a different way to support Terry's father. I think that they have a different idea about father. That is why they have different way. For mother, she avoid telling Terry the reason why his father becomes like that. Then, she didn't want Terry to asking his father, she prevent him. For example, in page 269, Terry asked his mother a lot, but she didn't want to answers. I think that his mother didn't want Terry make his father to remembered back the bad things by questioning. Because that might shock him and caused sickness.
            For Terry himself, Terry wondered a lot and wanted to ask his father for a lot of thing about what caused him like that and what happened at Vietnam War. Terry think that the good way to helped him was to talk to him. I think that Terry think that that will make his father become like other people in his life. After he talked to him, he know what going on and find a ways to help him. For example, from page 272 until the end, he has a long conversation with his father about war. That might help both Terry and his father.
           After seeing both characters, I think that these two have some same and different idea. Terry and his mother wanted to support and protect Terry's father. But, his mother didn't wanted Terry to disturb his father and Terry wanted to help his father in a different way. After this story, I understand more about what caused people to misery, that was war.
