Overcoming Obstacles Faced In Stop The Sun By Ted Hughes

One has PTSD and faces problems every day. The other is in a wheelchair and deals with his disabilities daily. One who has PTSD from the vietnam war. One who lives with being paralized. The father from the short story “Stop the Sun” by Gary Paulsen and Christopher Reeve from the the auto biographical narrative “Still me” that both face and overcome obstacles that develop the theme or central ideas. The father from “Stop the sun” faced and overcame PTSD by talking to his son. “‘This thing that you want to know - there is so much of it that you cannot know it all, and to only know only a part of is...is to awful. I can’t tell you. I can't tell anybody what it was really like(paulson52)”’.This shows how it may be different help the dad but it helped Terry have a feel and why it was so bad
“ you think that because I act strange, that we can talk and it will be all right”, his father said. ”That we can talk and it will just go away.That's what you think isn't it?”’ The father faced many obstacles that he was able to overcome as a result of having PTSD.

Christopher Reeve from “Still Me” faced and overcame paralysis by making the best of it by speaking and bringing awareness.“‘ He told the audience that I had to be careful with the sip-and-puff control, if I blew too hard into the tube, I might pop a wheelie and blast into the audience ( Reeve375).”’This created the theme of don’t judge people by the way they look.“‘And the student replied, “Sir, I wasn't feeling well” and George Packard replied, ‘The only excuse for nonattenedance is quaddruple amputation (Reeve 379) .” This quote shows how somethings can be worse then they seem but thats no excuse for not attending .Christopher Reeve faced many obstacles that he was able to overcome even though he was paralyzed.
