Stop The Sun Assessment # 7

7. Do you think Terry made the right decision about questioning his father on his experience in Vietnam? Why or why not?

From my perspective, people usually get annoyed when someone tries to figure out something by asking them questions. They might even think those people are nosy, while what they wanted to do was just trying to understand something, like Terry and his mother. People wouldn't really ask private questions often, because they think it would disturb others.
But in Terry's case, I think it might be okay. It might even be good for him to be curious. He was just worried about his father and tried to find a way to get the idea. People usually say that talking to someone about something terrible might make you feel better, in a way. That was what happened to Terry's father, too. His mother- who didn't want him to know about anything in the Vietnam war- probably told him to be quite because she thought it was best for him, and for his dad. Also because Terry asked, his father told him all about the war and his sadness. In my opinion, he might feel a bit relieved, telling someone what he's been suffering. Terry's curiousness led to something good, I think.
