Make Judgements - Do you think Terry made the right decision about questioning his father on his experiences in Vietnam? Why or why not?
I think Terry made the right decision because without knowing the reason why his father was acting strange, Terry would still have that feeling of embarrassment. Understanding what his father went through made him feel empathetic for his father, and that is important because it is better to understand people before you judge them. Terry tried to imagine what his father went through as he was telling the story, and he was feeling it as well, being able to step into his father's shoes and finally realizing that he was wrong for being mortified of his father. I think knowing the motivations of someone before judging them creates a sense of realization and understanding, and that's what made Terry's choice correct.
