Dr. Sadao was a very good surgeon and scientist. He was a native of Japan. He was twenty two years old when he was sent to America for studies. He had mastered in healing wounds as he had been working intensively on it for a few years.His house was on the seashore, overlooking the sea. It was made of square stones upon rocks on a narrow beach that was outlined with bent pines.
I read a novel written by Ritesh Rana wherein there were three friends who go to college daily by train. They had to walk about two kilometers while returning to railway station in afternoon. It was early June and the summer was at its peak. Along with the sun, the earth was burning like fire. It waRead more
I read a novel written by Ritesh Rana wherein there were three friends who go to college daily by train. They had to walk about two kilometers while returning to railway station in afternoon. It was early June and the summer was at its peak. Along with the sun, the earth was burning like fire. It was difficult to stand in open for a moment. They saw a poor expecting woman begging for money who needed to reach the hospital as soon as possible. They took great pity on that lady. They took out their own money and arranged an auto rickshaw to drop her to nearest hospital. If those friends had not helped that woman on that day, her life might not have been saved. And the most surprising thing was the people standing there were just watching the spectacle and those three young boys who were not much mature helped the needy lady.
Certainly, the story “The Enemy” reminds us of “Birth” of last year. The lead character is doctor in both stories who saves life of respective patient. The talent and work of both the doctors is commendable. In “Birth” the doctor sacrifices his own rest and comfort and brings a still born baby backRead more
Certainly, the story “The Enemy” reminds us of “Birth” of last year. The lead character is doctor in both stories who saves life of respective patient. The talent and work of both the doctors is commendable. In “Birth” the doctor sacrifices his own rest and comfort and brings a still born baby back to life. In “The Enemy” however, the patient was a wounded man (a war prisoner) from an enemy country who was almost to death. The doctor diligently removes the bullet from his body, heals the wound in a few days. And the most importantly saves his life by putting his own life at risk. The storyline may be different but the work of both is same. Patient was of paramount importance in both cases.
Oppression to any kind of injustice takes a decent time but the seeds are sown in early life only. Children see and understand things very closely and carefully. Seeing injustice being done, adults often ignore or suppress or forgive but children's brain is in the growing age at that time, due to whRead more
Oppression to any kind of injustice takes a decent time but the seeds are sown in early life only. Children see and understand things very closely and carefully. Seeing injustice being done, adults often ignore or suppress or forgive but children’s brain is in the growing age at that time, due to which good or bad memories are stored in their mind forever. And after growing up, either they want to change that by leading or they want to take revenge.
Similar was the case with Zitkala Sa who was filled with anger and fire. She did not surrender when her friend Judewin told her that Zitkala’s long hairs will be cut. She declares that she will not submit. She will struggle first. She resists by kicking and scratching wildly when she is pulled out from under the bed to cut her hair. Her spark against oppression was not easily extinguished. Every person has his own way of expressing the wrongful behavior or discrimination done to him and Zitkala Sa and Bama expressed theirs through respective autobiographies. Bama, in her childhood had the anger for higher communities because they were treated differently. This distinction of upper class with lower class was a common thing in that era. She was ready to rebel against the oppression by snatching the packet of Vadai from the landlord and eating them herself and she would have done it that day if her brother had not stopped her.
Yes, I believe his final solution to the problem was the best possible one under the given circumstances.

Yes, I believe his final solution to the problem was the best possible one under the given circumstances. When he finds that the General hasn’t been successful in keeping his promise and that Tom has made a full recovery he started thinking of some other solution. If the General had done his work as promised and no one would have noticed, he would have been very happy in this too. But now he had decided that he would send him to a nearby island with some food items. From where he will catch the Korean ship and reach his destination. Dr. Sadao did the same and no one came to know about his plans. In this way he was successful in playing the role as a doctor and a patriot citizen. He shrugged off timely any danger that came upon him or his family.

It may take a long time for oppression to be resisted, but the seeds of rebellion are sowed early in life. Do you agree that injustice in any form cannot escape being noticed even by children?
