Literary Focus Question # 6
Don Anselmo didn't reveal who "owns" the trees at his first visit because of many reasons. Firstly, he thought he doesn't "own" the trees so it wasn't his right to tell the lawyer who really "owns" the trees. The Americans thought they got the land and house for a cheap price, but instead, they got all these children annoyed them for another price to pay. Secondly, he didn't tell them because he respects the children and their trees, he could ask for their permission to sell them in the first place, but he didn't. He wanted them to keep their trees, and also their culture. I think it's something cultural about those trees that he didn't want the Americans to know about. And finally he honored his culture and he also wanted the children to honor the culture by keeping them, not selling them, but he decided it is their choice sell it or not, because they "own" the trees.
