    On August 6th, 1945, the world was forever changed when the world’s first atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima, Japan. The attack was made as an attempt to end World War 2, and it succeeded at a devastating price. John Hersey’s Hiroshima depicts six different accounts of victims of the bomb. The journalistic novel tells how each of the people began their day, how they survived the explosion, the response, and where they were 40 years later. Each account is different, and they all represent the various ways that the bomb hurt the people. These six individual catastrophes illustrate the horrible effects of atomic bombs and how the use of them should not be even considered by any empathetic human being.…

    Ignominious Actions Upon the beginning of Mary Jo Salter's "Welcome to Hiroshima" materializes as a visual holiday to a different country. However, the detail of imagery reveals a different sort of poem. The theme of the poem is a gloomy look at how humans destroy each other. The careful imagery of the lingering effects of war, the devastation of human life and the shadowy unknowns of the future through images of shock, guilt and numbness bring the event to life. The persona recounts the bomb and admits its' devastating effects. Describing the bomb with a simile "like a beer"(6) gives a pleasant appearance.. The persona describes the bomb with a tone of wonder and awe. Images of ‘foam" and "thirst" suggest a quest for more knowledge. The awestruck…

    Excuse me for having no burden like yours” said Mr. Tanimoto . The words of Mr. Tanimoto, a Reverend who survived the atomic bombing in Hiroshima, is a parallel of my initial response to reading Hiroshima. I cannot fathom the atrocity that the victims and survivors of Hiroshima must have felt, but my immediate response to the book Hiroshima written by John Hersey was that the suffering of the Japanese could have been avoided if the United States would have enforced proportionality. The atomic bomb itself was disproportionate because it not only hurt the army but “a hundred thousand people,” including civilians. Moreover, the survivors experienced environmental contamination. Some of these experiences John Hersey was able to embed in his book…

    Anyone can have one bad decision that reflects the rest of his/her life and anyone can decide whether they want to dwell on their past or decide that they want to make up for what they did to end up in that position in the first place. For example, my mom was a young teenager when she became pregnant with me. She had to drop out of high school due to complications from her pregnancy. Even though she had a daughter at a young age instead of using me as a crutch to get governmental assistance she went to night school at a local community college until she graduated with her GED and is now graduating with her master’s degree in education.…

    Life is a balancing act between the past, present, and future. Expressing guilt and regret about the past is almost instinctual, but we accept that it is unchangeable and we put it behind us. However, there are some, who so desperately cling to the idea of the past and believe that they have the power to repeat it. While an action can be repeated in order to emulate an action of the past, the entirety of the moment can never be recreated. This is due to the fact that unlike a physical action, the emotions and intent behind the action are impossible to duplicate.…
