Lit. Focus - Camp Harmony - #5

As I read, I imagined that the bus was crowded, a little noisy. I think people were worrying about their place. The people weren't really happy. They were upset and feeling unfair, because they had to move to another place. Not a good place, but worse. The little children may thought it's fun, and they were going on an adventure. Unlike the adults, they knew where they were going, and they didn't want to go.
The place they were moving into was really dirty and small,... They were also afraid of the wire fences. They didn't feel freedom because of those fences;keep people from running away. It wasn't that much of a happy mood.

Literary Focus - Question 9 - Gentleman of Rio en Medio

I think if this story is from Don Anselmo’s point of view, I can understand more about his feelings and what he thinks. When he sold the house, why did he want to sell it to the Americans? Why did he say no when they offer more money to him? I want to know why he said the tree wasn’t his and it’s the children’s’. Why did he think the Americans are good people? Why did he sell the land with a low price? How does it show that he's a "gentleman"? Is the word "gentleman" shows that he thinks that Americans are good people? I think it'll be a lot different from the narrator's story.

Literary Focus - Question 7 - Stop The Sun

I think he made the right decision. The reasons are his father didn't tell Terry what happened, so he felt embarrassed and didn't understand how his father felt.I think the father should tell him, because when you talk to someone, it feels better. But Terry also should try to understand him and help him try to forget them. It is also better to know more. Terry didn't know much about Vietnam. After he knows about the war, it wasn't just Vietnam syndrome. It was the war from North and South of Vietnam, French and American. He can understand his father's stress and fear more. After his father told him the experiences, his father still has flashbacks, so Terry can help him by cheering him up. Then he can forget them slowly.
