Literary focus - question #7
In my opinion, I think Terry didn’t make a good decision by questioning his father on his experiences in Vietnam. As we already knew, at first, his parents both avoided telling him about the experiences in Vietnam. This made Terry curious and wanted to find out, which led to him deciding to question his father. Normally, if your parent avoided telling you something, you have to know that there is something bad that they don’t want us to know, or it’s would simply hurt them if they speak about it. You should also know that when someone don’t want to tell you something, you have to respect them and not pushing them too much, since it’s their privacy. Yet in the story, Terry questioned his father and made his father broke. And still after Terry’s father told him, he still can’t understand it, and can't help his father. Then what’s the point of breaking someone when you can’t help them get better. That’s why I think it was a bad decision that Terry made.
