Answer as written by the student:
The Enemy is a story by Pearl S. Buck, an American writer. It is about Dr. Sadao, a Japanese surgeon who decides to help an American soldier who is wounded and washed ashore near his house. Dr. Sadao faces a dilemma between his duty as a doctor and his loyalty as a patriot.
He also risks his life and reputation by hiding the enemy in his house. He also f eels compassion and sympathy for the soldier who is young and helpless. Dr. Sadao’s character shows that he is brave, kind, and principled. He does not let his prejudices and biases affect his judgment and actions. He also shows that he is capable of rising above the hatred and violence of war and choosing peace and harmony.
