Research Paper On Shoso Hirai

Have you ever questioned why and how the US government decided to drop those two nuclear bombs in Japan in the World War II? It is still a universal concern while many disapproval have made toward its humanity. In a book that I’ve read recently, from the point of view of an eyewitness, Yamaoka Michiko, the author of story “Eight hundred meters from the Hypocenter”, shows how humanity was exchanged with the ambition of a nation by reviving a heartbroken experience when she witnessed her hometown was destroyed by such a terrific violence in the war.

Due to the staggering loss of buildings after the atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, countless were left homeless and starving. Sueko Hada, though reluctant to talk about her ordeal in Hiroshima, opened up during an interview stating, “I had nowhere to go. A soldier took pity on me, gave me some money and told me to take the train to his grandmother's house. But on the train a woman stole all my belongings. Then someone else offered to take me to my elementary school.”[ix] After the atomic bomb wiped out many of the buildings and houses, many who were lucky enough to survive the blast, struggled with the difficulty to live because they were lacking houses and the resources necessary to carry on. Many survivors such as Hada had nowhere to go; circumstances were especially dire if one was the sole survivor within the family, making one have to suffer the hardships in isolation, just as in Hada’s situation. Along with having a

The non-fiction book Hiroshima by John Hersey is an engaging text with a powerful message in it. The book is a biographical text about lives of six people Miss Sasaki, Dr. Fujii, Mrs. Nakamura, Father Kleinsorge, Dr. Sasaki and Rev. Tanimoto in Hiroshima, Japan and how their lives completely changed at 8:15 on the 6th of August 1945 by the dropping of the first atomic bomb. The author, John Hersey, through his use of descriptive language the in book Hiroshima exposes the many horrors of a nuclear attack.

Mr. Tanimoto consciously repeated to himself “‘These are human beings’”(Hersey 1946), as he attempted to save paralyzed, dying men and women, in the book “Hiroshima” by John Hersey. This nonfiction book was published on August 31 1946, a year after the atomic bombing fell on Hiroshima, Japan. This publication was raw, uncensored, and truthful. John Hersey unapologetically revealed the gruesome damages done by the bombing, while also silencing those who believed that the atomic bomb was a justified attack. Hersey’s brilliant journalism and ability to write this story without bias, is why this book was selected. The author did not want those who died to be remembered as casualties, but as mothers, fathers and children. Hersey wrote this book about the the physical, and psychological impact this bomb had on both survivors and victims of the atomic bomb. There were many historical events that contributed to the cause and effect of the atomic attack; historical events such as industrialization, the trench wars, and militarism. This was not just a simple bomb, but a complex attack on humanity.

The crises to which this work responds was the total annihilation of Hiroshima and the aftershock experienced by those left

When the Atomic Bomb exploded over the city of Hiroshima, the people who experienced it were not expecting it to occur the way it did. We were given an insight of the lives of several characters on that fateful morning in August in 1945. Neighboring towns had all been bombarded by American B-29 raids, but so far Hiroshima had been spared and rumors spread that “something special” was in store for them. Every plane that flew overhead was a considered a threat and would set off the air raid warning, consequently that morning people even though the siren sounded earlier people were either going about their everyday routines or preparing for the worst. The people of Hiroshima were completely confused when the atomic bomb was dropped over their city because they were all expecting a warning of some kind, either from the U.S or the air-raid sirens but there was nothing heard before the bomb was dropped. Hersey describes it as a “noiseless flash,” which conjures the image of silence and a startlingly bright light as total buildings were decimated. With the dropping of the Atomic Bomb over Hiroshima, we ushered in a new age of

The samurai, members of a very powerful military castle in feudal Japan began as provincial warriors before rising to power in the 12th century. Their job was to back up the authority of the shogun and gave him power over the emperor (Mikado). They would dominate Japanese government and society until the Meji restoration in 1868. Even though they were deprived of their privileges, many samurai's would enter the elite ranks of politics and industry of modern Japan. More importantly, the traditional code of the samurai was honor, discipline and morality which is known as Bushido meaning "the way of warrior".

Having a successful “private hospital” and an unstressful life, Dr. Fuji no longer had a better life than the “tailor’s widow”, Mrs. Nakamura, directly following the bomb (Hersey 1). After the initial destruction of the city, many people lost everything
