In ''They Poured Fire on Us From the Sky,'' there is really only one enemy throughout the story. That enemy is a group called the Murahiliin. They are a group of Arabic decent that steal from the local villages. They take their cattles, but lately it has turned into taking people from their villages for slavery. 'The Murahiliin had thrown him on the back of a horse and took him to a faraway place where he was sold as a slave. ' (pg. 33). Also they are seen as enemies because they have turned to greater violence towards the villagers only because they won't bow down to the ways of their god. They act inhuman with the actions that they do to even the most innocent of the people.'He pushed it in and pushed and pushed on her with her full weight. At first she struggled and screamed, but a few minutes later the loud cries stopped. The little girl had passed out.' (pg. 98). The men would rape little girls for what? Just because they were refusing them because they didn't want to be taken away from their homes. This is exactly why the Murahiliin are seen as enemies in the story and not as heros.
As for me I've never had someone that I could call my enemy. I never had problems with people and if they had a problem with me I just stayed away. Sure I might have been bullied but then again who isn't. Your not going to be liked by everyone in the world. There was one person who in grade school though that I never talked to and he didn't talk to me either. I short of didn't like him because of how he acted. He seemed to be in the middle of everything and everyone. It was funny because after 8th grade graduation we started to talk on myspace like the end of freshman year. We started to talk like everyday until we started to talk on the phone and text. We became really good friends only because we gave each other a chance to get to know one another. And soon after that he became my boyfriend for all of my high school career. Isn't that ironic?!
