Gentlemen of Rio en Medio Q.9 : Point of view

I think if the story is write in Don Anselmo point of view, he'll write what he think about the kids and the Americans group, he would tell us how he felt about the tree. The story will tell how he thinks about the prize, and the feeling of the narrator may changed, too. I'll be interested if I can read both perspective.

Literary focus : Q.6

In my opinion, the title "Stop the sun" is from the father's point of view, he wanted to stop the sun from coming up because he didn't want to die, he survive out of 54 men on the battle, if the sun goes up, he would be one of those 54 unlucky men, because maybe his enemies would found him and kill him. My idea is, in his mind, if he say "Stop the sun", meaning he don't want to die. One more thing, I think usually, lights are very positive, only dark are negative, but in this story, it's different, I think it has to do something about the author, my opinion is, maybe he don't like lights, or he prefer dark than lights, etc. so he don't want lights to be the good subject in this story.

Damage of Games

          It just six o’clock in the morning at the AIS, the sounds of guns shooting and bombs exploding are mixed together creating very weird, loud sound that people can hear it standing the lobby. Those sounds are from a group of games addict students, and one of them is me, Peter. The principle of the school is trying to solve this problem because he worried that we couldn’t absorb enough knowledge if we just keep playing like this every single day.

            I first discover this “Counter Strike” game on the first week of school. I found this shooting type game is very interesting, so I showed it to my friends, they liked it, too. So starting that day, everyday we went to school, we always always play games, and some of my friend even skipped luches just because of that harmful game. We were all very smart, we usually got good grade on their test, but when we start addicted to games, their  went down very much  like use up a thousand bucks in 5 minutes. The principle can’t accept our grade, so we were sent to his office to talk to him. During the talking, instead of making very harsh rules, he used words to convinced us, some of his words made us very afraid of playing games like “Some day you cannot see if you keep playing games” and  “ You won’t have a good future, you’ll be uneducated street boys with no job, no where to live”. After school, I went home and thought about what the principle just said at school, and guess what, I didn’t even touch the computer, I started to realize that games are very harmful, people play games just to relax or release stress, not for sitting in front of the computer for a whole day just to farm levels, but not everygames are bad, educated games like math games are very good, too. And I asked my friend, I realize the same things as I did. Day passed; we started to learn very well because now, games can’t stop us from being a good student anymore. The next quarter’s report card have been give out, our grade increase very much, we’re very happy.

            Now, everyone in the school no longer hear the sounds of guns shooting or bombs exploding, instead of that, many students and kids play good, educated games.
