Bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki

In my book "The Bombing Of Hiroshima and Nagasaki" it tells us howe the days were like in Hiroshima. Many Hiroshiman's were hiding in their bomb shelters ready for the bomb to come and they can be safe. There was this raid siren that had went off and everyone was ready for this bomb to come, but after awhile it never came. Everyone had came out and gone back to their normal lives, but then as time passed, there were three planes that flew across the sky with the bomb coming down. The bomb had vaporized many, only leaving shadows behind. The surviors were hard to recognize with their skin peeled off and the ground level was 5,400°F.

With the dropping of the bomb, in my opinion, I think it was a good thing and a bad thing. Its hard to pick a side when it comes to this. Many Japanese and Americans were somewhat of happy that the war was now over. I don't like the word "revenge" when it comes to war. Just because they bombed Pearl Harbor, our military bases, didn't mean we have to bomb many innocent civilians in Japan. Especially that it took them forever to repair the damages we've done. We cannot repair the damage we have done to their families, the radiation they carry, the high risks of cancer from generation to generation,

The Bombing Of Hiroshima & Nagasaki

In the book I'm reading The Bombing of Hiroshima & Nagasaki it is informing us about the trageties of World War II. It also says how Albert Einstein had moved to the US because of the Nazis hating Jews. He had made a letter to President Franklin Roosevelt about Germans successfully splitting the bomb. Then, the Japanese made women from ages 17- 40 help around cities and men 15-60 join war. Lastly, the president gathers up many scientists to made the Manhattan Project.

In this book the main conflict is war. Americans are fighting off the Japans after they have bombed. Then, Great Britain with allies try to make sure Nazi Germany stays out before they invade. Another conflict in this book is for America to be the first country and people to create the first atomic bomb before Japan or Germany does. In the book it says "warning that the Germans had successfully split an atom of the element uranium." It also says "the worlds first atomic bomb before either Germany or Japan." It proves that these conflicts problems that Americans have to face and somehow resolve.

In my book "The Bombing Of Hiroshima and Nagasaki" it imforms us about how it affected both the Americans and the Japanese. Japan had a sneak attack on Pearl Harbor which killed 2,400 soldiers. Many Americans knew they were ready to join the war and fight back. it also tells us how since the men stepped up to join war, women stepped up to join in the workforce.

This war starting in 1939 when Hitler became Dictator and invaded Poland and took over. In the book  it says " Six years earlier, 1939 German troops under the direction of dictator Adolf Hitler had invaded Poland, sparking World War II, which soon became a brutal , bloody conflict involving nearly every nation on Earth." It also happened on December 7th, 1941 when the Japanese bombed Hawaii.
