4th Quarter First Reading Blog

In my book, The Perks of Being a Wallflower there is this boy named Charlie. He is an emotional 15 year old that just entered high school. He met this guy named Patrick and he has a step sister that Charlie has little bit of feelings for. He has special dreams about her, and he thought it was disrespectful so he told her. Once he told her, she started laughing and thought it was cute. All three of them start hanging out more, they all from to homecoming together and he called the feeling he had "infinite". But on December 21, they had a Secret Santa party, and Charlie got a suit from Patrick, and Sam (step sister) gave him a typewriter because she knew how much he liked writing. Also Charlie really loves reading books and he's good at it to. So he's consoler makes him do different projects because he's higher then the rest of the class.

In the story, Charlie is emotional. I know this because in the story he tells us how he cries a lot. He doesn't cry for the simplest things but he does cry when he feels bad about something, or if he's happy. Also in the story it tells us he's grandpa is a very stubborn man. Charlie tells us "My grandfather is definitely more stubborn then she is." That proves to us that the grandfather is stubborn, because he fights with his own daughter and granddaughter.

The Perks Of Being A Wallflower

In my book "The Perks Of Being A Wallflower" its just the narrator telling us what happened. Happened like how there was this guy at his school that committed suicide but he doesn't understand why. I didn't really get far in the book, only to where it describes  how people were like around the school. There was an assembly for the student that killed himself and they let his close friends say something during.

The POV in this story is 1st. I know this because in the story it says "They called my brother to pick me up". This proves that when he said "I" It wasn't in dialogue. If it was in a dialogue when he said it, it would have been in 3rd person point of view, and its him talking about his friends, not like someone who isn't in the story. He is, he's the main person.

Bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki

In this nonfiction book based on true events, it has information telling us the days in Hiroshima and Hiroshima. It informs us that what these Japanese people did before the bomb to stay protected. But, when a false alarm was sent in Hiroshima, everyone went back to their normal schedule, and thus the bomb was dropped. It then explains how U.S. dropped the bomb because of what the Japanese first started. Yet they got together many scientists to help create the bomb that was dropped. After, it says how everything in the city was now rubble but it was better in Nagasaki because the mountains took most hits.. The buildings and streets weren't the only things to get destroyed in the city, many people have died from this, and if the bomb didn't kill them, they lye there burnt, with skin hanging off, everything burned off, and in need of water. The only water that came was rain, but it was full of radiation and rain. After the bombing in Nagasaki, the Emperor of Japan now surrendered and the war was now over. Even after the war, the victims still live with these horrible scars and disabilities then they get discriminated for. On the other hand, every year on August 6th, many people come to and old monument that was left over from the bomb, light candles, and let lanterns go with the dead family members names on it.

As a result of reading this book, I really thought it was informative and would be really great for someone else to read this book if they didn't know what happened in the bombing. I liked how the book was really focused on the bombing because it gave some information about what also happened in Germany and the Soviet Union. Although if you did know about the happenings in WWII I would still suggest you read this book because it tells more details about the days after the bombing. It was a really good idea when I read that the Emperor has finally sent out a radio cast that he has surrendered. If he hadn't, half a million Americans would be dead if the war kept going as they invaded Japan. Also, for the Japanese to have no hatred, because they are happy the war is finally over, is very brave. We hurt innocent, and they aren't mad, for them to just do the same rituals every year I see the Japan should have pride.

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.
