homework 3
==========
Enemy Mine
Far far ago many years I have read in my favorite journal a tale 'Enemy Mine'
from Barry B. Longyear
The tale was on about two enemy (human and drac) on hostile planet and on about
their difficult way to their friendship. In a few years after that I have seen
the movie 'Enemy Mine' on TV. The tale was similar as novel, but I did not
believe the story. On movie I saw only pathetic express:
'Wars are bad, long live a peace'. I did not feel their (human and drac)
sensations and their pains on their voyage. I did not feel the deep true which I
felt in novel. In short, if I had seen the movie first, I would never have read
the novel.
