There is no doubt that when war is going on between two countriesthen there is bound to be hatred for each other in the minds of the citizens of those two countries.But we should not forget that this hatred is created by politicians.Although the citizens of two neighboring countries speak the same language, wears similar clothes and theyindeed share good friendship because they live on the each side of the border.
The big thing should be that and even in the days of war, the civilians should forget the hatred and stay away from any kind of riots.One such example was set by Dr. Sadao, who helped Tom in the wounded condition of his arch-rival America.He not only helped him by healing the wound and doing the operation but also saved his life.He showed that humanity is still alive todaykeeping all the servants in confidence and hiding nothing from his army General, operated him and later sent him successfully.
The doctor's meeting with the general reveals that he was such a man who thought only of himself.The doctor had openly told him everything about the prisoner.

The doctor’s meeting with the general reveals that he was such a man who thought only of himself.The doctor had openly told him everything about the prisoner. As an army General, nothing should have been important to him more than killing Tom but his focus was only on himself. He should not have forgotten that he had to send his personal assassins, for which the doctor was eagerly waiting because Dr. Sadao didn’t want to get himself and family in trouble because of wounded man. But General always remembered Sadao as a great doctor. Apart from him, no other doctor can treat him the way Sadao was. General was simply a self- absorbed person.
After coming to his senses, the war prisoner knew that the family was always at great risk because of him.The laws in Japan were very strict. If someone had complained, Dr. Sadao could have been imprisoned for lifein the crime of harbouring him. The Doctor couldn't answer when Tom asked how long he'Read more
After coming to his senses, the war prisoner knew that the family was always at great risk because of him.The laws in Japan were very strict. If someone had complained, Dr. Sadao could have been imprisoned for lifein the crime of harbouring him. The Doctor couldn’t answer when Tom asked how long he’s been here.He was astonished to see that a Japanese family was saving his life and doing so much care.When the General did not send his personal assassins and the life of the American war prisoner was saved then to get rid of himdoctor decided to send him to another island, then Tom felt that it was the second time when the doctor was saving his life. Otherwise, it would have always taken only a minute for him to handover him to police.He said goodbye to them and went away with lot of happiness.
We do not feel in this story that thoughts of Dr. Sadao and his wife do not meet. They had good bonding and shared similar values. When she saw that her husband was interested in saving the man's life she gave him a lot of support. Initially she was a little hesitant as to how to deal with a personRead more
We do not feel in this story that thoughts of Dr. Sadao and his wife do not meet. They had good bonding and shared similar values. When she saw that her husband was interested in saving the man’s life she gave him a lot of support. Initially she was a little hesitant as to how to deal with a person who came from an enemy country but without wasting anytime, she immediately started following the instructions given by her husband.She had never seen an operation before and this was the first time they had kept a room reserved in their own house for a patient that too for the one who was in very pathetic condition. When she asked Yumi to clean up the injured Tom, she refused. At that time Hana gave her the command and said that they only want to bring him to senses and after that he will be treated like a prisoner.Hana also told her that it is an order and she will have to make it immediately. Maid or baby sitter or Gardner everybody was in denial of service or closeness to that American but Hana sets a good example of a caring and compassionate wife from beginning to end.

When the doctors see the man lying on the seashore, the first thought is to push him back into the sea. Dr. Sadao concluded that he was a sailor from an American warship. The man must be a prisoner of war. His duty as a citizen was to hand him over to the police and his wife Hana was also in this favour. While studying as a doctor, Sadao had learned that one should always help the sick or the injured irrespective of caste, color or nationality. Serving the sick is the best religion in the world.He knew that he would die very soon by handing over to the police.His thinking was like that of a doctor which was absolutely right. The job of a doctor is to save lives, not to kill.After and during the recovery of wounded man’s injury, the doctor and his wife did not hide anything from servants.When the right time came, the couple being a patriot shared everything with their General. They made right decision at right time.
Dr. Sadao’s heart and mind was saying different things ever since he saw Tom on the sea shore.

Dr. Sadao’s heart and mind was saying different things ever since he saw Tom on the sea shore. Many times it came to his mind that he should hand over this American to the police or push him back into the sea. The relations between America and Japan were such that civilians too had hatred towards each other in their minds. One day he decided to tell everything to his general and he went and shared with him. The General assured him that the same night his assassins would kill the American and would not allow the body to be traced. Dr. Sadao kept a door open from where Assassin was to come, but the General had forgotten and the American could not be killed. After waiting for the next two days, when no one came to kill him at night, then the doctor prepares to send him to another island with the help of a boat, along with some food and drink. He gave the man his flashlight. He was to signal twice with his flashlight at sunset in case his food ran out. In case, he was still there and all right, he was to signal only once. That’s how he gets rid of that man.

The average global temperature is on rise and carbon emissions emanating from vehicles and industries have resulted in melting of glaciers and polar ice along with acidification of oceans and coastal areas. Over the past few decades we can see climate change across all countries altering the geographical ranges of many plant and animal species. A rise in sea level is also an alarming indication to humans. The reason for all this is because of the luxuries that humans have adopted for a happy life, the result of which is in front of everyone today. The policies made by all the countries regarding expansion have strangled the environment and unfortunately we are still ignorant despite knowing this.

It is said that Antarctica is a barometer of climate change. The near pristine environment with far less human activity and contamination than anywhere else on earth, makes it ideal to study all manner of phenomena. Scientists have worked hard to understand how supercontinent Gondwana began to break resulting in separation of continents. Antarctica has world’s ninety percent ice which carries itself answers to all carbon and ozone related questions. This is why scientists and environmentalists from round the world are keen to understand past, present and future of Earth in Antarctica.
These are two stories based on two true events of two distant cultures of two people. But there is discrimination with both. One faces the racial discrimination and other faces caste discrimination.

These are two stories based on two true events of two distant cultures of two people. But there is discrimination with both. One faces the racial discrimination and other faces caste discrimination. Zitkala-Sa faced racial discrimination because Europeans which used to do a lot with Native Americans. She described the deep misery of having her heritage stripped away when she was forced to pray like others and to cut her traditionally long hair. The horrific experience of her boarding school has shocked all readers.
The second tale depicts the struggles and humiliations faced by young Indian dalit woman. Since she used to belong to a low caste, she was considered as untouchable. Talking with her is a far cry, taking water from her hand and even sitting together was avoided. She felt very bad that she was not considered normal just because her caste was different.
This discrimination was normal until mid 20th century in many countries but after that many movements were launched against it and now it has been controlled. But it has been very painful for those who have faced these problems then. Hence, the discrimination was done with both in different manners.

The speed with which Derry runs towards his house to meet Mr. Lamb again clears that Lamb’s words had awakened his slept feelings and amazing energy had started coming out of him.He runs away happily and excitedly to meet him as he feels that today he has found a special friend.This friend could change his life forever. Post this he will love himself and will not care what people think or say about him. Maybe that’s why today he came to this garden that his perception is about to change towards life.
Mr. Lamb on the other hand had filled him with confidence and taught the art of loving himself and then he passed away. Maybe Derry just needs Lamb’s long support which was missing till date which causes him to go back to the seclusion. If he had got a little more time to spend with Mr. Lamb, his world could have changed forever. His friendship was not even to the next level that Mr. Lamb said goodbye to the world.I can’t rule out the possibility that Derry might go back to the seclusion.
