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.
