    In his 2012 article for The New Yorker, “Atonement,” Dexter Filkins recounts his time spent in Iraq and explains how he helped connect Lu Lobello, a veteran suffering from severe PTSD, with the Kachadoorians, an Armenian family. While in Iraq, the Kachadoorians suffered devastating casualties and injuries at the hands of Lobello’s unit, Fox Company. Even though the United States Government determined the civilian deaths and injuries were justified, Lobello and many other members of Fox Company developed PTSD from the harm they caused.

This difference in opinions is caused by the cloudy nature of morality…

    As explained by a London physician in the Daily Express, “people who [were] run down [fell] easier victims than those in a robust state of health” (Kent D36 83). With almost every survivor experiencing the loss and grief of a passing father, son, husband, or friend from the war, none were prepared for the devastating incident that followed. Individuals carried this burden of personal grief, trauma, and loss throughout the course of their lives making them not only physically but also mentally vulnerable of what was to come next (Kent Introduction…

    Rothberg theorizes that the attack on the Twin Towers, “resonated with more intimate sufferings in ways that suggest how traumas can feed off of each other” (Rothberg 148). In the case of the widow from “Monologues By Those Returned”, she was dealing with losing her husband, her daughter and her mother on top of the Chernobyl disaster. Each one of these would be considered traumatic in it’s own right, but together they increase the pain exponentially. Surviving does not always mean thriving; in the case of many Chernobylites, the people affected by the explosion, they were left permanently affected by the exposure to radiation. More than just the emotional effects, some saw declining health while others saw defects in the children born in the wake of the explosion.…

Albert Einstein alerted the American government that the Germans were developing atomic weapons and soon the Manhattan Project began. Robert Oppenheimer was in charge of the project to build an atomic bomb to counter Germany. Enrico Fermi designed the first successful nuclear reactor in 1939 and created it in 1942 at the University of Chicago as part of the project.…

    Thomas Hardy once said, “A story must be exceptional enough to justify its telling; it must have something more unusual than the ordinary experience of every average man and woman.” Through this saying, Hardy implies that a story is only worth telling if it has something unusual or unique that the average person would not normally experience, and it should be good enough to be mentioned. In this era of facts, details, and accredited quotations, Hardy’s quote is one that is hard to interpret. John Hersey is one of many people that has proven Hardy’s quote to be legitimate. Through his writing in his novel, Hiroshima, Hersey use of vivid diction and an omniscient point of view proves true that a story should possess an unusual experience that…

Sweeney, on a Booing B-29 Superfortress bomber plane during the final stages of World War II (1939-1945).

    “You and The Atomic Bomb” They say, I say George Orwell, an English novelist and essayist, wrote “You and The Atomic Bomb” on October 19, 1945. Roughly about 2 months before this essay, bombs were dropped over Hiroshima not only letting the world know who has power and who doesn’t, but also leading individuals to be oppressed. With the discovery of the atomic bomb, and the difficulty and cost of developing it, the world will simply continue on a path of destruction and will eventually separate into dominating powers. It has been common to dismiss the danger of weapons, especially if it doesn’t directly affect you. The American society doesn’t take into consideration the danger of developing new weapons because, as they say, it is not them who fear it, it is them who use it as a threat.…
