Gregor crawled a little further forward, keeping his head close to the ground so that he could meet her eyes if the chance came. Was he an animal if music could captivate him so? It seemed to him that he was being shown the way to the unknown nourishment he had been yearning for. He was determined to make his way forward to his sister and tug at her skirt to show her she might come into his room with her violin, as no-one appreciated her playing here as much as he would."

kirill115 [55]

Answer:

This phrase reveal that Dr. Sadao is a skilled surgeon and only thought of curing the patient, regardless that he is an American and the enemy.

Explanation:

Dr. Sadao is the main character in the story 'The Enemy' written by Pearl S. Buck. Dr. Sadao is a skilled surgeon and lived near an isolated coast in Japan with his family. One day Tom, an American prisoner of war was washed up near Dr. Sadao's house. Sadao's instintive voice did not let him throw the prisoner back in the sea and they carried him and aided him.

While searching for the bullet in Tom's body, <em>all thoughts left </em>Sadao. All thoughts of what will happen to him and his family for giving shelter to an American war prisoner. And as he located the bullet, he felt the purest pleasure because he performed his duty as a skilled surgeon. As a doctor, it is his duty to save lives and when he was doing it, he did not think of anything else but to aid the prisoner.

This phrase shows that Dr. Sadao is not just a skilled surgeon but a good human being, and a doctor who knows his  duty of saving lives regardless the danger it possess on his family.

<em>'He was familiar with  every atom of this human body.'</em>

<em>'Then quickly, with the cleanest and most precise incision1', the bullet was out. ' </em>This phrases shows that Dr. Sadao was a skilled surgeon.
