Stop the Sun Literature Focus - Make Judgements

I think that it was a good idea to ask Terry's father about his illness. Yes it was very hurtful to the father but it gave Terry the knowledge of his father's illness and it helps Terry to understand what his father has been through so that he can fix his behaviors. And maybe, since Terry already knew the cause of the illness, he might know what he could do to encourage or cheer his father up. To me, it's a good thing.
