I just dropped a bomb. Oh my gosh! I can’t believe I just did that. Millions of people are going to die. It was my job. I am sorry just because of this bomb millions and millions of people are going to die and I can imagine people screaming for help and crying and looking where to go I don’t know if I could forgive myself. How would I sleep? How would I forgive myself? What I did some questions I can’t even answer ughh I hate this so much.
ReplyDeleteI was thinking that the bomb was going to end the war. I thought the bomb was not going to kill alot of people. I also thought that the bomb explosion was not going to be big. Then whenn I saw the explosion I felt sorry for the people that die with the explosion. I said to myself "why didn't they tell us the explosion was going to be big." When I dropped the bomb I saw the chemicals caming up an I thought I was going to get caught in the explosion. I was still glad that the war was over.
ReplyDeleteDear Ms. Keene,
ReplyDeleteWhen I read "Sadako", I felt like I was in Japan. If Sadako didn't died, she be the importin girl, and also she will tell everybody to make a thousand Paper Cranes to the peoples who is sick. I mean, if the peoples make a Thousand Paper Cranes together and give to the very sick peoples.

I just dropped an atomic bomb on a Country. I didn’t want to do it because I knew it can kill people and mess up there houses and buildings but I had to do it. I was about to drop it but then somebody called me on the radio it was the captain he said drop the bomb. I said yes “sir” then my co-pilot Bobby said come on man you can do it its not hard. I was saying in my head yes it is you killing people but then I closed my eyes then I dropped the bomb and then it sad boom then I fell back I was so scared I didn’t know what to do. Then I heard people say yes he did it he did it.
When I drop the atom bomb the soldier cheering and patting me on the shoilder saying good job. I felt proud of myself. After I though about it I felt really bad. I said to myself I feel like a murder. I killed over 20,000 people. All there was to see was smoke when we went back.
ReplyDeleteAfter I had squeezed the handle and watched the bomb fall transforming the city instantly into a pile of dust it felt like I was hit by a bus the gilt was unbearable like some one was piling bricks on my head knowing I killed that many people and separated that many family’s was terrible

I hope I can see you out of there soon so everything can go back to the same bye Sadako. I want you to have a great time there. Have luck folding 1000 the paper cranes. Your friend,
Chizuko
My name is Ricki and I am in the Air Force . I was ordered to drop the atomic bomb in Japan. If I didn’t do it, I would have a bad consequence so I chose to drop the bomb a couple of days later. Afterwards, there was a big fire and smoke every where in the air and the only thing I could think about was how many people would suffer for what I did . Would any thing happen to me or happen to my family? Are they ok or how many people would survive for what I did?
ReplyDeleteI that that I was a big mistake slouching the atomic bomb. But thin they Sid that it was not a jock about this so I l inch the bomb and about 98 percent of the city buildings and killer 80,000 people immediately about the atomic bomb.
