Atomic Bomb?

Before the end of World War Two, US dropped their newly invented atomic bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Causing major damage to the cities in Japan, also producing a large amount of death and casualties not only people disintegrated, they suffer from radiation and cancer. Here is the question, was dropping the atomic bomb a wise or unwise decision? I believe that this is a complex question, and the possibility is just greater than we can imagine.

Firstly, you can’t lean on either side of the war. There wasn’t enough time for the Japanese to reply what the US said. If the US had giving the Japanese more time, none of this would have happened. Also killing innocents in Hiroshima and Nagasaki is just inhuman, the people in the city have done nothing and they have to suffer the war effect.

In contrast, the USA should have think before the dropped it and ask the Japanese for one last reply, perhaps there could be a better solution than dropping the atomic bomb. They have never thought about the possibilities that could happen, one reason they dropped it was because they wanted to demonstrate the power of the bomb. Not only it was a stupid idea, it was never a great plan in the first place.

In conclusion, I believe that this question cannot be answer under conditions that we do not know. There are just too many possibilities to list before we can drop the bomb. In addition, we should never have invented the bomb in the first place.

Paul- Protagonist in All Quiet On The Western Front

Paul is basically the narrator of this book, he was not twenty when he enlisted in the army. But his experiences in war quickly becomes older than his age. He is more intelligent than most of his peers, he enjoyed writing poetry. After he enlisted in the army, he realized that it was not that glorious as he had thought of. He soon grow tired of fighting in the war, seeing people dying, but the only thing that made him cling to the side was the friendship that he has with other soldiers. His friends dies through out time, and finally it was his time to go and reunite with his other mates.

Current Event-3

The article is about Polar bears not eating food for 5 month, it says that they are killing their own kind for food. Each and every day, they lose about 1.5 kg. The significance of this is to tell us that Global Warming problem is inevitable, we must do something about this. I can detect bias in this article because it is telling that if scientists and all of mankind around the world don't do something. We will push ourselves into a very tight corner.

Current Event-2

The article is about American citizens using votes to disapprove Bush. Its significance is that Bush has done many bad things like the Iraq war, people hated him. People wanted a change in their government, so the citizens decided to vote for Obama. I detect a lot of bias in this article, because people are hating Bush, which means that this article is talking about how much people dislike Bush.
