HiRoShiMa BeFoRe tHe BoMbiNg...

1) What I see in this picture is a peaceful Hiroshima. It seems like a very relaxed and calm city. It looks like a regular city with no conflicts and no enemies. In my opinion by the looks of this city, I believe that they were innocent to the bombing of Pearl Harbor. It seems to me that this city would not have enemies due to the way it looks, very peaceful.

2) In this picture I see Hiroshima in ruins. I see the buildings in the picture turned into pieces. The buildings in this picture that you can see, and barely tell what they are, are a gas company building and an elementary school. I believe it is very sad that children suffered the consequences of a bad act of the Japanese leaders.


3) What I see in this picture is a dead person after the bombing in Hiroshima. I still believe that it really sad that innocent people were the ones who suffered, even if it wasn’t really their fault. It is really sad to see these pictures of people in this condition. In my opinion, these pictures are like disturbing to look at.

4) This picture was drawn by a survivor of the bombing. What I see in this picture is lots of dead people. I believe that the person who drew this felt really bad about seeing all these dead people everywhere. I also feel really bad that all these people had to die this way. I feel that their death was very unfair. I think that the person who drew this remembered this event for the rest of their life.

PrO-LiFe Or PrO-cHoiCe...???




1)My stance on abortion is that it should be legal. The reason is because if abortion is banned, that does not automatically mean that people are going to stop doing it, it just means that since the government is not going to cooperate, then they are going to find ways which are either illegal or harmful to their health. However, I do not believe that abortion should be the first option for a pregnant woman. I think that abortion should be legal, but that a woman considers other options like giving the baby to abortion to a couple that is not able to have kids. Another reason is because if a woman was raped, she would probably not want to give birth to that baby for emotional and physical reasons, so abortion would be a choice that she could make. Another reason would be that a woman, just like a man, has the right to do whatever she desires to her body.

2)"Banning abortion puts women at risk by forcing them to use illegal abortionists"

3) What the quote that I chose in #2 means is that by making abortion illegal, it just makes women take risks to their health by having an abortion illegally, with people who have no experience and who do not have the right materials to do the abortion. Another way that they would have an abortion is by doing it themselves, which is why I agree with the quote that abortion should be legal, so that the women who want abortion do not have to take those risks. If abortion is legal, women don't have to take the risks because they can go to an experienced doctor who has the right training and degrees to do so.

4)"-a woman has the right to decide what she can and can't do with her body
-the foetus exists inside a woman's body
-a woman has the right to decide whether the fetus remains in her body;
-therefore a pregnant woman has the right to abort the fetus"

A piCtUrE iS wOrTh A tHoUsAnD wOrDs...


In this picture there are two men carrying a man who is severely injured because of the bomb that went off in the Marriott hotel in Islamabad. There is blood all over him and especially on his face. The message that this picture presents to me is that not many things like that happen, but when they do, the damages can be extremely dangerous. They can cause many damages and deaths of many innocent people. Fortunately, I can not relate this incident to my life. I think that I am very lucky to not have to go through things like this and hopefully I won't experience something like this in the future. I would really hate to have to go through all the pain that these people and their families had to go suffer.
