Hiroshima-Antagonist and Protagonist

Hiroshima 


The protagonists of Hiroshima are seven people who survived the bomb. They tell the author, John Hersey, the events of the bomb, the moments before, after, and years after the bomb. They all each  
had different experiences with diseases after the bomb. One of them had a radio active disease, another tuberculosis, and others had other deadly diseases that almost killed them. Some of them died a couple of years after the bomb, but some died 20 to 30 years after the bomb.

The antagonists of Hiroshima were the Americans, who decided to bomb Hiroshima the city. They had killed hundreds of thousands of people, including children, women, and men. They did not realize what they had done. They stopped the war but had killed thousands in doing so. 

The main conflict is man vs society because the people of Hiroshima are trying to reform the city after the bomb, which is part of the society.

  1. I haven't read this book yet, but I sure want to in the future. I really want to learn more about this tragic event. Since, I am guessing this book is in first person it would be interesting to see the thoughts of the people who went through an event like the Hiroshima bombing.

    Nicely written, Aleksa
