Thank you

Kusum Banga 5 years, 4 months ago

Japan was at war with America. Dr.Sadao was nursing a wounded American prisoner of war. The servents didn't like Dr.Sadao's generosity.He was giving him a new lease of life.They considered Dr.Sadao's work an act of treachery. Hence,their patriotic feelings made them leave Dr.Sadao's house.

Kusum Banga 5 years, 4 months ago

Because they do not want to live with their enemy(American) in the same house .That is why the servents left together and they returned after the enemy left Mr.Sadao's house.

The message of the lesson enemy is that the profession is first because in this story Dr.Sadao's profession is a doctor so his first priority is to save the patient whether he or she is enemy or friend.

Vikas Sharma 5 years, 4 months ago

' The Enemy' gives the message that humanism transcends all man made prejudices and barriers . Dr Sadao upholds the ethics of medical profession in treating an enemy. The story is a great lesson of peace,love, sympathy, fellow feeling and humanism.

Gaurav Seth 5 years, 4 months ago

The borders that we see around us are all man made. These borders turn some countries into enemies against one another. However, humanity knows no bounds of any such divisions. Dr. Sadao Hoki was in no sense less patriotic that any other Japanese. He loved his country and hated his enemies as much as other citizens of Japan but his sensitivity towards other human beings led him to operate upon the American prisoner of war. Being a skilled doctor by profession, he just could not manage to see a patient die in front of him. The sense of humanity overpowered him and made him to save the life of his 'enemy'. The story, therefore, exemplifies that human goodness surpasses all other factors.

In this lesson, Alphonse Daudet wanted to convey a message through M.Hamel that one should keep their language and culture alive at all costs.

Gaurav Seth 5 years, 4 months ago

“The last lesson” stresses on the importance of education and the necessity to respect and learn one’s own language. This story draws our attention to the unfair practice of linguistic chauvinism. It refers to an unreasonable pride in one’s own language while disregarding all the other languages as inferior. We should respect our mother tongue the people of Alsace did not bother to learn their mother tongue and now when they are forced to speak German they realise the importance of their language and how precious it is
