I did not intend for my friends to leave but that happened so this was a huge failure. Due to this misunderstanding Jessica and me almost got into a brawl and just like any typical girl fight, it was going to be over a boy. She had thought I was into her ex-boyfriend because I had said I was happy it ended. Jessica had misunderstood it just like my other friends. I had meant it in a way that he couldn't hurt her anymore and I was happy because of that not because I liked him. Those friends I trusted told her what I said but with a twist that made her think that I was a fake friend for liking her boyfriend. My tone was confusing and made it seem as though I was happy that it ended so that I could be with
Have you ever been really nervous because if you don't win a race to build the world most dangerous weapon you are in a critical condition of dying? The best part of the book is when Japan refuses to surrender. The only option is to drop atomic bombs on Nagasaki and Hiroshima.

In the book The Bomb by, Steve Sheinkin writes about how most countries in the world is in a race to build the first atomic bomb. The U.S. successfully makes the bomb and ends the war.

Several times I’ve lost the interest of a boys attention to a friend. A friend that said they had no interest in perusing a relationship with that boy. Later on they become jealous and sabotage our relationship. My junior year I was with a boy named Jared. I became really good friends with his friends and truly believed they were my friends. Later on in the relationship my friend Destiny started having feelings for him and started going behind my back and trying to get his attention. She would start rumors about me to try and throw my boyfriend off and try and make him lose feelings for me. After this Jared and I started to spiral downwards like a tornado. At the time I had no idea what Destiny was doing so I still thought we were really great friends. When I needed some one to vent to I went to her, and of course her playing her two-sided game she would use my troubles against me. Jared and I did stop being in a relationship, because people would not keep their business out of ours. In the long run Jared and I are still really close friends and neither of us speak to
Many people know what it feels like for one action or event to change the whole course of a day, a year, or maybe your whole life. The book The Bomb, by Theodore Taylor, is set on a Pacific Island called Bikini Atoll. During World War II, the Americans took over the atoll from the Japanese, who were in control at the time. The main character, Sorry Rinamu, is grateful for being freed by the Americans. However, after the war, the Americans wanted to test another Atomic Bomb, and they chose to test it for research at Bikini Atoll. The conflict that drives the plot is that Sorry tries to stop the Americans from testing the bomb on his home (person vs society). The two primary ways it generates the plot are when most islanders agree to have their atoll taken away by the Americans and when Sorry gets the radical idea to stop the test from happening from his uncle, Abram Rinamu.
During 1941 through 1945 a war had occurred in the Pacific between the Americans and the Japanese this war was called The Pacific Theater. This war was also being fought during the duration of another World War against Germany and Japan but on May 8, 1945 Germany surrendered to the allied powers leaving Japan to still be dealt with. However Japan would not surrender even after the major battles between the Americans and Japanese in Iwo Jima and Okinawa. The Americans then came to conclusion to try and get to a new military weapon which then started the ManHattan Project. The Manhattan Project established a new powerful military weapon known as the Atomic Bomb. This new entirely militarized weapon was designed to force Japan into surrendering because Japan was still willing to fight even though they were on a brink of defeat and they were
World War II was considered as one of the deadliest war in the history. Many innocent civilians died due to the aggressiveness of the Axis powers because of this actions the Allies wanted to overthrow the Axis powers in response to its aggression and to establish a peaceful post-war. The United States decided to join the war along with the Allies after Japan’s surprise attack on Pearl Harbor, which destroyed a lot of United States battleships. President Truman should have dropped the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki because of Japan’s bombing attack of United States naval base on Pearl Harbor which resulted in the United States to declare war on Japan, to end the inhumane actions of the Japanese soldiers to its

In 1945, the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor without a warning and killed about 2,400 Americans. Later in 1945, the Americans attacked Hiroshima without a warning. The Americans also bombed Nagasaki, but the Japanese were warned and were given three days to evacuate or surrender. The United States’ decision to drop the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki was a military measure to destroy the Japanese military, force Japan’s surrender, and save American lives.
In the article Argument Supporting the Bomb, by Michael Barnes, the general thesis was that the atomic bomb was necessary. Throughout the article there are many propaganda techniques used to convince the reader. For example, techniques like transferring the blame, lesser of the two evils, and card stacking are used throughout the article. For instance, in the article the author uses the fact that the Japanese attacked the United States first: “the back-stabbing” aspect of the “surprise” attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941”. The transfer technique is used here to distract the reader, and make them think about Pearl Harbour. As a result the reader overlooks the fact that the atomic bomb killed more than a hundred thousand citizens. Not
Secretary of War, Stimson was able to raise the possible outcomes that will come from the use of the bomb on non-combatants. It would taint the United States ‘international standing and reputation” . However, Truman did not take the location of the city into consideration. Furthermore, he was not particularly concern with the targets because he believed the air force would take of that. He left that to the military officials that were in charge of the operation, but he wanted to women or children to get hurt in the process. Ultimately, Truman trusted his officials in the matters of the atomic bomb. He’s faith in his official determined the consequences that would erupt.
The atomic bombs might have killed thousands, but the bombs also saved millions. Before the war even started Japan had a grudge on America for cutting off of their oil supplies. Germany lost to the allies after hitter committed suicide. Japan was the last remain axis power. When Japan attacked Pearl Harbor, America had a right to join the war and get revenge. When America dropped the bombs, they did their best not to harm many civilians. Also they saved more lives than they took. The atomic bomb was the best way toned the war efficiently.
In the 20th century- 1945 to be exact- during World War 2 a burst of light followed by an immense explosion with more power than 20,000 tons of TNT headed for Hiroshima, Japan. This was the world’s first atomic bomb, and 3 days later another one was dropped but this time on the city of Nagasaki. The U.S. dropped these bombs in order to trap Japan in a corner and leave them no choice but to surrender. This controversial event has led many to wonder if it was in fact a military necessity and yes it was, not only did it stop the war, it saved the lives of many American and Japanese soldiers, and it stopped Japan from breaking the international laws of warfare.
Bombing two major cities may seem wrong but it was necessary in order to come out as a successful nation. During World War 2 on August 6th and 9th of 1945 the United States was the first country to use an atomic device against an enemy. This enemy was the country of Japan. After the Japanese killed thousands of U.S soldiers with their ruthless and unexpected attack on Pearl Harbour the United States released two atomic bombs on their two major cities. These cities were known as Nagasaki and Hiroshima. After the bombs were dropped the war was put to an end. The use of the atomic bombs is a widely debated topic on whether their use was necessary or not. The bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki were not only necessary to end the war but it was also necessary because many American lives were lost.
The views of the atomic bomb conflict are because some believe that though the bomb will swiftly end the war, many deaths will occur leaving lasting effects. In WWII in 1939, positives and negatives about the dropping of the atomic bomb are revealed through the past events and whether the bomb will be a catalyst for future events. Considering the advantages and disadvantages of dropping the atomic bomb is an important question in order to be able to understand the likelihood of more deaths occurring due to the war. If the bomb is dropped, it could assist the war’s swift ending with fewer deaths in the future from the war, but if it is not dropped, the slow termination of WWII will allow for a higher war death rate. It can be assumed that if the bomb is not dropped sooner, it will eventually
“ Handle them carefully for words have more power than atom bombs” is a known saying that just means that words regardless if they are oral or written or if they are from the inks of brilliant authors or from the mouth of a child can have an effect so great that can be compared to or even greater than bombs, swords tanks and other weapons of warfare. Because while wars can only destroy or bring losses words can do so much more like inspire us, make us laugh, arouse our imagination but even as words can do all the above it can also be used to destroy and bring others down. While the latter is used by most humans on a daily basis the former is used by people like authors who use this to entertain us either by making us laugh, cry, think on our
“In 1957, with the arms race in full swing, the Department of Defense had decided it was just a matter of time before an airplane transporting an atomic bomb would crash on American soil, unleashing a radioactive disaster the likes of which the world had never seem.” On August 6, 1945, the first atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima, killing 20,000 soldiers and 70,000 – 126,000 civilians. On August 9, 1945, the second atomic bomb was dropped on Nagasaki, killing 39,000 – 80,000. A total of 129,000 – 226,000 people were killed in combining both bomb droppings. Dropping both atomic bombs on Japan was necessary to end the war because the military needed to end the war, the Japanese were given fair warnings
