The first blind man happened to put his hand on the elephant's side. "Well, well!" he said, "now I know all about this beast. He is exactly like a wall."
The second felt only of the elephant's tusk. "My brother," he said, "you are mistaken. He is not at all like a wall. He is round and smooth and sharp. He is more like a spear than anything else."
The third happened to take hold of the elephant's trunk. "Both of you are wrong," he said. "Anybody who knows anything can see that this elephant is like a snake."
The fourth reached out his arms, and grasped one of the elephant's legs. "Oh, how blind you are!" he said. "It is very plain to me that he is round and tall like a tree."
The fifth was a very tall man, and he chanced to take hold of the elephant's ear. "The blindest man ought to know that this beast is not like any of the things that you name," he said. "He is exactly like a huge fan."
The sixth was very blind indeed, and it was some time before he could find the elephant at all. At last he seized the animal's tail. "O foolish fellows!" he cried. "You surely have lost your senses. This elephant is not like a wall, or a spear, or a snake, or a tree; neither is he like a fan. But any man with a particle of sense can see that he is exactly like a rope."
Then the elephant moved on, and the six men sat by the roadside all day, and quarreled about him. Each believed that he knew just how the animal looked; and each called the others hard names because they did not agree with him. People who have eyes sometimes act as foolishly.

what character or characters in spunk would you consider to be the most wicked
Answer:
Joe is the most wicked character.
Explanation:
"Spunk" was written by Zora Neale Hurston and tells the story of Spunk, Joe and Lena who form a love triangle, where the two men, Joe and Spunk establish a highly competitive and violent relationship between them, to win Lena's heart.
Joe is a character highly undervalued by the entire community in which he lives. He is unmotivated, constantly compared to Spunk and everyone questions his masculinity and his ability to be successful. This inferiority, along with competition for Lena's love, causes Joe to allow a great deal of hatred and anger to grow inside him. All these negative feelings, repressed and hurting Joe, makes him the most wicked character in all of history, mainly because it stimulates horrible thoughts and dangerous behavior.

do you think Dr. sadao is not patriotic enough as he risk his own life to save an american soldier?Give reason
Answer:
As a doctor, Sadao knew that the value of human life. He risked his own life by saving the American soldiers, even if he knew that he could go to prison for hiding a prisoner of war. He cleaned the Americans wounds, fed them, and nurse him. When the American was feeling better, he gave him provisions, such as food and a boat, and helped him escape from Japan.As a Japanese citizen, he fulfilled his duty by telling the General about the American. Even though the General forgot to send his assassins, Sadao could not be blamed for the American escape. Thus we can say that Sadao carried out his responsibilities, as a doctor, and as a Japanese citizen.
