"Gentlemen of Rio de Medio" How I think of it?

For this story, I chose question 7 for my work.
In a basis of agent person between love and work, I thought both sides were right, but they all were shortcoming when they're dealing. 
In Don Anselmo's side, I thought he shortcoming in telling the lawyer officer about the trees not belong to him, and he fell unendureable when he saw the kids overrun the orchard. The money those officers paid to buy the land is really cheap, just 200$ though they bid the land over double-that-price, this shows us he didn't care about how much it was. He cared of what would they improve his land and the safety of that land. He told the trees aren't his was because he plant them not for him, that symbolize and be owned by his descendants. For each tree, there is a birth of a child related to him has been born on the earth. All those trees were his lovers' symbol, not his symbols so they couldn't damage the trees.
In the officers' side, I thought theyh were right, too. because they kept and worked as they promised, the problem was just a mistake when they discussed to have the result. Though, the trees have to grow on lands, so those trees were definitely belonged to them, but they still pay a property of money for buying trees. I think they are conscientious and kind after all.

What I think about "Stop the sun"

The question I chose was question 8
I argeed with all the themes that story gave, but I thought the war can be the main cause for lots of things.
Therefore, I saw "War can effect many generations of people" as a good statement.
In my opinions, war is the battle come from a crazy reason. Everyone in all sides want to win ,so they treat awfully to the others. Also, the most effected things are definitely the soldiers and the people live in those countries. They can't have a nice life if the war began. . If the war began, they'll damage and destroy lots of their enemies' things, and no one have the peaceful life, of course. Now, in the war, the people can get hungry, needy, poor and crazy. so they can do anything, even the disgusting and brutal activities. Later, after the war ended, at least, one side will be hurt for sure, it concerns to many people were went over the war. For exmaple, in the war between America and Viet Nam, there was Agent Orange disease spreading in a broad area of Viet Nam, make millions people in Viet Nam was sick and died. Or, it can destroy properties, lands, homes, business and healths as well. Furthermore, it can attack our brain and break our minds, leave the horrible experience for us, as Terry's father.
In conclusion, the war will not just leave the damaging about bodies of people for now, it will leave the terrible memories that will always follow them in their minds for later, too.
