    Michael Nickerson ELA 10th summer reading essay Entry 1 After reading the first ten pages of “Hiroshima”, by John Hersey, I got a good view of the lives that were affected by the bombing. The main characters introduced to me were civilians, both rich and poor, who did nothing wrong. They lead normal lives all the way up to the dropping of “little boy”, however once the bomb dropped , it is apparent that their lives were never going to be the same way again. As for reviewing how good the book seems after the first ten pages, I would say its starting with giving very specific details about the lives of our main characters before the bomb dropped, this can be a bit dull, but after the bombing, the story becomes more interesting and will probably…

    Hedges and Sacco begin the chapter, Days of Destruction, with Larry Gibson who explains his childhood living on the mountain. He describes what his life was like then and now, showing that the land is barely recognizable. The land that his family once owned, went from 500 acres to 50. I feel like this relates to many properties in Michigan today. Trees, houses, and land are often torn apart to make room for something new, similar to what Gibson describes happened to the cemetery adjacent to his house.…

    It can be hard to tell who is right and wrong during the aftermath of a supposed nuclear holocaust. The Chrysalids, which is a book written by John Wyndham in 1955, tells a story that is unique, because throughout, it can be unclear who the reader should be rooting for. Waknuk and Sealand seem to be the most civilized communities thriving after the Tribulations, but their views differ in many ways. Both communities could potentially be the cause of a second nuclear holocaust, but it is more likely that Waknuk would be the cause. Waknuk follows the Bible blindly, and they often misinterpret The Bible’s meanings, Waknuk forces anyone who they deem “un-pure” out of their society, and Sealand’s morals seem to be a lot less misguided.…

    Also, these two women’s’ life experiences and family relationships caused them to value their family even more further in the book. Both women implement teachings from their childhood, onto the two children. For example, Laila’s father emphasized the importance of schooling to Laila, and as a result, Laila does the same to her children. Furthermore, because of the women’s realization of the absence of the strong family relationship in their childhood, they both tried to be active in the children’s lives and develop that relationship for themselves. For example, following Aziza’s release into the orphanage, Laila continued to visit her in spite of the grave risk she was taking.…

    There is no particular manual to objectively describe how a person is expected react after a traumatic event and how they are supposed to adapt. Lang (2009) divulges the complexities of analyzing the Holocaust by saying, ”Since the end of those days, millions were killed, and killed irrespective of whether they had act nobly or not, selflessly or selfishly, the very effort now to judge or analyze what they did and how, to weigh against that what they might have done that they didn’t do (or might have done that they did do), seems itself a violation.” (p.113) Survivor testimonies offer victims and outlet to express their thoughts about the Holocaust and hopefully gain a sense of closure by sharing their stories. Post-liberation adaption is perplexing…

    In Medallion, as the people have kept the community spirit of the southern black since the slavery days of Bottom, they live as "neighbors" (3), taking care of each other, including even the prostitutes. They look after the children instead of their disappeared mother for 18 months (34) and the orphans. It is natural for them to cook and to clean the house of the solitary elder. All women participate in raising children and taking care of the old is a good aspect of the traditional value, which transcended from the slavery period. Eva, Sula's grandmother, the head of Peace family, represents this old value of "taking care of the other and sacrifices herself, and carries heavy burden" (Krumholz 554).…
