Literary Focus question!!

I chose question number 8, which is evaluate:

The theme that I think states the insight about life in this story is:

. It is hard to walk in another person's shoes

Well, as I understand this in my own words. It seems like it's trying to say that being in another person's problem is hard. If you are a stranger, it would be consider hard to understand another person's problem, but in this case, it's all about family. So even though it is hard to try to figure out another person's problem, it'll be best if you study them or ask them questions. Rather than trying to break the question right away and go into the subject, that would cause harm for you and the opposite person. This is my opinion, but I think Terry should slowly moving onto his questions about the Vietnam syndrome and his father. This should work, because it would create a harmony atmosphere or feeling to his father when Terry try to approach it, slowly.
