Decent Essays
In the painting of “Tokyo Story After Hiroshige Hiroshima ” when shared people had very good feelings about it. They commented + my home, twice, and a tick tock. To me it reminds me of a cool day in April, it reminds me of standing outside just after it rained and everything looks so lively and peaceful. This painting is very future forward, Soft and cool. If it were to convey a certain type of music it would be jazz. It's a smooth painting that is soothing in my mind. I don’t really question this painting.

The shades are both a literal and a figurative barrier between the Japanese prisoners and society. On the other hand, the soldier requires them to use the shades because…

    Teetering to Surrender: A Critical Analysis of “The Shock of the Atomic Bomb and Japan’s Decision to Surrender— A Reconsideration” Individuals see “The Shock of the Atomic Bomb and Japan’s Decision to Surrender— A Reconsideration,” by Sadao Asada, as tedious and boring.
