“It seems logical that he who supports total war in principle cannot complain of a war against civilians “ (90). This relates to how the US involved so many other innocent people in this horrifying event. This relates the the political decision of the US which wasn't well thought out.

This chapter I learned about the aftermath of the bomb and how the city was in ruins with the people. The doctors played such an important role.

When it talked about the the citizens feeling hatred towards the Americans, I wondered how long that would last. It would be incredibly hard for an citizen to forgive the Americans for this selfish action, and I think that would cause me to always feel hatred to the Americans.

It was interesting how much more accepting people were then you would think after  a bomb was dropped on their town.  In the book it said, “It seems logical that he who supports total war in principles cannot complain of a war against civilians.” This impressed me because it showed that many of the people understood that they were in a war at the time, and everyone apart of the war had to make gruesome decisions because thats what happened in war.

I learned more about the devastating aftermath of Hiroshima,  as the city as fallen apart literally, and figuratively speaking.

While discussing, I learned that most of the doctors did not have faith in their patients, because they were so very badly injured.

The amount of negative that was going on between the doctors and how they had no belief in their patients.

I learned how horrible the effects of the bomb really were on all the people in the novel. No matter how far away someone was from the bomb, they still experienced the effects of radiation for months on end after the bomb exploded. It really amazed me how even a few months after the dropping of the bomb, some people in the novel still felt very weak and could not carry out everyday tasks because of the toll that the radiation poisoning took on their body.

"he'll die. all these bomb people will die- you'll see" This was said about Father Kleinsorge as well as other patients that were struck after the bomb. I learned that most people were hopeless, and instead of looking up and being optimistic about the healing process of each victim, they quickly began to give up. I think in a time like this, It is understandable to lose some hope, but remaining strong and positive is so important.

I learned how Kiyoshi Tanimoto came really close to dying, but ended up staying alive. I never thought about how he was basically given 2 chances at life.

I learned that doctors weren't quite sure how to treat the patients and that they were learning from this experience in this chapter and today we talked more in depth about it.

I learned in depth about the discovery of radiation and how the bomb brought this upon the people of Hiroshima. This new information made me wonder about how it will effect Japan in the future and if they will make advances with the medicine quickly.

While Reading, I realized the value of helping others after a disaster happens in the community. People like Dr. Sassaki risked his life to help as many people as he could. It makes me wonder if this made the community closer then before the bomb was dropped

I learned that the effects of the bomb lasted a while. In Mr. Tanimoto's letter to an American he really described all that he went through and it made me feel very sad and upset about how the United States caused all of these casualties

Everyone was getting sicker and they realized it was from the radiation sickness i wonder if the U.S. took into consideration how the bomb would effect the people in Hiroshima

This chapter went into depth about the aftermath of the bombing and how the different characters/perspectives were affected.  When elaborating about Father Kleinsorge it says,  “He had begun to think that this bag, in which he kept his valuables, had a talismanic quality, because of the way he had found it after the explosion, standing handle-side up in the doorway of his room, while the desk under which he had previously hidden it was in splinters all over the floor.” (67) This quote shows that people were lucky if only a few of their belongs survived the blast

1. I learned (with more depth) that this chapter mainly focused on the aftermaths of the bombing in Hiroshima. In the previous chapters, the author chose to specifically focus in on the details of the social, economic and political environment closer to the time of the bomb vs. further away from the time of the bomb. This represented how the characters were reacting as time passed. While the whole event was drastic as a whole, we have come to see that the character's are still struggling. Dr. Sasaki expresses that he is generally depressed to see several people physically and emotionally harmed. “At the Red Cross Hospital, Mrs. Sasaki was under the care of Dr. Sasaki. Now, a month after the explosion, something like order has reestablished in the hospital.” This quote shows that overtime, things were starting to generally cool down, creating a calmer atmosphere in Hiroshima. Although, there was still large amounts of tension. This new information makes me wonder if the author will continue to focus in on how each of the different perspectives react to this situation as time goes by. It seems to be a common pattern in the book.

Because the U.S dropped the bomb, there to be radiation and this radiation made people sick, this makes me wonder weather or not this was Americas plan to put radiation in the air and make people sick

1. I learned that the chapter really focused on what happened about a month after the bomb and how some other people group  thought it was really sad.
2. it makes me wonder more about how the characters in the book responded to seeing their city destroyed from other prospects later on in life, if it makes them emotional too.

I learned about how the United States was in some ways selfish for bombing Japan. I think this mostly because “The hospitals and aid stations around Hiroshima were so crowded in the first weeks after the bombing… That patients had to be constantly shifted from place to place”. This connects to the main idea and connections because today, many people are selfish, and only consider themselves, or consider themselves more than others.

I learned more about how they were discovering radiation poisoning and it made me wonder why it took them so long to realize that something must have been causing all these people to die and it wasn't a coincidence.

It was interesting how much more accepting people were then you would think after  a bomb was dropped on their town.  In the book it said, “It seems logical that he who supports total war in principles cannot complain of a war against civilians.” This impressed me because it showed that many of the people understood that they were in a war at the time, and everyone had to make cumulating decisions and that what war was.

“He had begun to think that this bag, in which he kept his valuables, had a talismanic quality, because of the way he had found it after the explosion, standing handle-side up in the doorway of his room, while the desk under which he had previously hidden it was in splinters all over the floor.”
People find meaning in things when the world around them has no meaning. The bag represents hope for the man when the rest of the world is screaming that all hope is lost. These ideas that things are meaningful shape the modern world because without them we would be a hollow shell of humanity

1. I learned that at the end of this chapter gave insight to the lives of the characters. Mr. Tanimoto's letter really let us step back and see it in full view.
2. It made me wonder that if all of their experiences were similar even though they had never met. One bit of Irony I found was that the Father's Briefcase was fine while the rest of his office was completely DESTROYED.

The doctors were finally learning how the people of Hiroshima were affected. They realised it was from the radiation, and how it was 6,000 degrees celcius when the bomb had dropped. Another thing that I found interesting was that there was a rumor going around that because of the radiation poisoning, the people of Hiroshima may have to leave the city for 7 years, before it is safe. That would be insane for that to actually happen, and the thought made me fear for their lives.

From our discussion I'm really wondering about the actions of the United States.
