Hiroshima
By John Hersey
The moment when the bomb dropped from the Anola Gay, the plane that the Americans flew, in the book, I didn't quite realize what the suffering the people of Hiroshima had gone through until I read to the days and weeks after the bomb. People were walking with sheared skin, broken bones, broken legs and arms, and lots of terrible other injuries they had experienced. I was shocked how cruel the bombers were in 1940's and how cruel the world can be. I wouldn't imagine someone would have the idea to drop a nuclear bomb on a city and hurt millions of innocent people. But there is a saying that this world isn't fair and that there will be pain for everybody. And I hope this will never happen again in history but there is a very slim chance of that happening. Because there are wars even now between the states of Islam and other countries. But this nuclear bomb was the first nuclear bomb to be used in a war and for killing. Usually they did tests before just to test it. And in Hiroshima, there were even terrible plagues and sicknesses that caused another extra hundred thousand people to die. So at the end of the book, I was traumatized on how cruel the world could really be.
