A statue to commemorate Terry Fox

The moment Susan stepped into the mansion, she was mesmerized by how beautiful everything looked. A butler stoically led Susan through the great halls of the mansion. As she followed along, Susan spotted a portrait of an old man. This was probably to commemorate the late master of the mansion, she thought. This man was a part of diplomatic corps but fell ill a few weeks ago. Susan was a surgeon that tried to save this old man's life but as she failed, she came here visit his son, his only relative. Impeccably dressed maids, who were cleaning the house, glanced in Susan's direction. The butler finally stopped and opened a door. Susan looked around the room. As she looked down on the floor, she saw blood. She traced the blood to the corpse. The corpse resembled the old man in the portrait. Was this his son? Was he dead? Susan was petrified. Sure she saw a lot of blood before, but she never saw a crime. The butler that stood next to her started shouting. Maids ran into the room but didn't touch the corps. The beautiful mansion turned chaotic. After a few seconds of pure horror, Susan decided to use all her acquisition as a surgeon to see if she could still save the man. The police came a little bit later. They wanted all the staff out of the mansion but all of them refused in the same manner. It was almost like they were mimicking each other. The police tried to negotiate with the staff, telling them that the accommodations won't be that bad but the more they said, the more dissuaded the staff looked.

Literary Focus: Literary Analysis:
Question #6: Infer Why doesn't Don Anselmo reveal who "owns" the trees on his first visit to the lawyer's office? Was he being clever, or was he unaware of the potential problem? Explain.

Don Anselmo was not being clever. Don Anselmo is an honest person. He didn't take the additional money for the land which shows how honest and self righteous he is. A self righteous man such as Don Anselmo was not trying to be clever in this situation.
He was aware of the potential problem too. The reason why Don Anselmo didn't take the money was because he knew that he couldn't sell the trees. Knowing that, he probably could predict that the kids might still come visit the trees and overrun the property of the Americans. Don Anselmo knew that he couldn't sell the trees and thus probably could predict the potential problems that might occur.
My theory is that he just didn't find it necessary to talk about the ownership of trees at the moment. I read this story, where the main character doesn't find out a lot of things until it's too late. But when she asks her fellow classmates about the reason why they didn't tell her, they tell her that she didn't ask. I think Don Anselmo is like that too. I think he just didn't find it necessary to talk about the trees on his first visit to the lawyer's.

Literary Focus: Literary Analysis:
Question #5: Compare and Contrast Terry and his mother support his father in different ways. What do these differences tell us about them?

Terry's mother tries to ignore her husband's syndrome. She tries not to talk about Terry's father's past and his syndrome too. I think she tries to block the reality and just wants to live a normal life. She thinks that it's best to not remind her husband of his past and hurt him in the process. She is the type of person that finds it better to ignore a problem rather than confront it.
Terry, on the other hand, wants to know more about the syndrome and even though he tries to ignore the syndrome when it bothers him, he can't. Terry is very curious of his father's past and wants to find out more about it one way or the other. He wants understand his father's problem by asking his mother, teacher and later his father about it. Terry thinks it's better to confront the problem and deal with it rather than ignore it. In this aspect, he is totally different from his mother.
