Q1) Describe the reaction and resistance faced by Hana and Dr. Sadao from the different servers?
Answer:- The servers in Dr. Sadao's house were not in favour of harbouring an American war prisoner in the house. They didn't even wanted Sadao's to save his life. The maid servent Tumi defied the order of Hana to clean the wounded dirty American prisoner on finding him to be a white man. She became stubborn as she had never washed a white man. When Hana cried at her sternly, she had a fierce look of resistance on her round face, thus ultimately forcing Hana to clean the man on her own.
On the other hand, the gardener being a superstitious man said that the white man ought to die. First he was shot. Then the sea caught him in her waves and wounded him with her rocks . It showed the man was fated to die and they had no business to save him , as was his prediction which Dr.Sadaoproved to be wrong with his surgical skills. Beside all these the Hoki couple faced open resistance from the other servent who left the house together in the morning on the seventh day with their belongings in large square cotton kerchief which the Hoki couple understood was the result of their belonging to the poor working class of the society, who were superstitious and lacked refinement.

Answer:- The world today has become a place where hatred and war originates like 'germ'. Enemity now flows through the bien of human. But among all this humanity is alive even today which the author Peaul. S.Buck.through her story 'Enemy' has tried to high light .
Even though Dr. Sadao Hoki knew that the wounded man was an American war prisoner , he decided to treat the white man with utmost sincerity. They harboured an enemy country's Citizen in spite of knowing that there is a threat to gather arrested as a traitoras Japan was at war with America. But on the other hand, the General Yakima, on being informed about the situation by Dr. Sadao assured that he will send his private assassin to kill him in sleep. The serventa in Sadao's house also showed resistance towards the harbouring an American whom they considered to be an enemy and the gardener even said that Sadao had no business saving him. Everyone outside the Hoki family was against the act of saving life of the white man ,Tom .
