Literary Focus: 9. Hypothesis

If the story was told from Don Anselmo's perspective instead, it would give us many more details about how he actually feel about the trees which belong to the children. Firstly, it would tell us from the beginning about why he didn't sell the trees and set the price so low. Secondly, it would give us more information about his feelings towards those trees. I can tell that he is respectful for the fact that those trees are the children's, but from his perspective, it would tell more about why he didn't agree to sell the other half of the land in the first place. Lastly, it would also tell us more about his life, family. More about how he has so many descendants and how he grew those trees for each of them.
