Ha's family is torn on whether to leave Saigon or stay, but who convinces Mother that it is best to leave?

Uncle Son

Explanation:

This question is about "Inside out & Back again" written by Thanhha Lai, where she portrays her and her family's experience as refugees from Vietnam in the USA in 1975.

In this story, Kim Hà, the protagonist is forced to leave Vietnam with her family in the direction of the USA, since the war in Vietnam leaves the family without security and without economic conditions to maintain themselves with good living conditions. It was very difficult for Hà's mother to decide to change countries, especially to a completely different country with an unknown language, but Hà's uncle, Son, managed to convince her that this was the best thing to do.

the speech this question is referring to is president kennedy's special message to the congress on urgent national needs, may 25, 1961

kennedy responds in a very direct and concrete way to those thinking that communism is a positive system:

"yet their aggression is more often concealed than open. they have fired no missiles; and their troops are seldom seen. they send arms, agitators, aid, technicians and propaganda to every troubled area. but where fighting is required, it is usually done by others--by guerrillas striking at night, by assassins striking alone--assassins who have taken the lives of four thousand civil officers in the last twelve months in vietnam alone--by subversives and saboteurs and insurrectionists, who in some cases control whole areas inside of independent nations." (kennedy)

president kennedy presents communism as cowardly, as a hidden and treacherous weapon that strikes from the shadows like thieves, he represents the system as not even being capable of showing and open and overt attack or confrontation. to finish up the response, he expresses that the system attacks even a country's idependence and freedom.
