If the story was told by Don Anselmo, the thought of him and other people is different. In the story, the narrator talk what he thinks not what Don Anselmo thought. If Don Anselmo told the story, the reader would know the specific reason in his mind why did he sell the things that belongs to him and why didn't he sells the tree. The narrator may told us about the reasons why, but if that person say it them self, it would be more trustful. May be that's what Don Anselmo told the narrator and the people but may be in his stomach, he have another reason he don't want to share. Perhaps he had a very sad or very happy or both feelings and stories he shared with that place that just can't be ripped off. When something mean like that to you, it's like a part of your family or it sometime could also be a part of your body. For example, when a member in your family died, you would be super sad. And if a part of your body was ripped off, you would feel a great pain that can't be healed.

The title is very significant to me because by looking at it, I can see the theme of the story. It's like I could guess the story ahead. The title says " STOP the SUN". The reason why I said that it relate to the story is you couldn't stop the sun as so as a happening war. A big influence or a tress could be hard to stop too. But if a magical thing do make it happen, it will cost a big change and a big distruction to the human and the environment around you. It's a big theme that to people could have different oppinion about it but that's what the title of this short story mean to me.
