    1. I think the enemy are his family and the war. I say this because he have to suffer because of them . Like if his parent was loyalty and happy with each other. Nothing will happen even war is bad. He have to give up his life because of his parents problems. Even they are not the enemy if you think about what happen to him war and his parents are his foe.

    2. I agree, there are a few instances that Ashe talks about how he feels he is in a war-zone. Was it both parents he was against or just one? Please explain.

  2. In death coming up the hill I believe the father is the enemy only because he trys to take away ashe from his mother and is racist,this can be viewed by multiple people like ashe, his mother, and angela.

    1. How does Ashe, his mother and Angela deal with his dad being the enemy?

    I believe that the enemy in Death Coming Up The Hill is either the concept of loss, or Ashe's dad. This can be viewed from multiple perspectives because someone who Ashe sees as an enemy, his dad could see as a friend.

    1. That's very true, but in the novel I think that Ashe's dad loved Ashe very much, but his ideals stopped him from being a good father. The "enemy" can be an enemy to you and a friend to another just like you said.
