Hiroshima

1. Look through http://www.lclark.edu/~history/HIROSHIMA/list1.html. Find and post a picture of Hiroshima before the bombing and describe what you see/feel.

In this picture I see that it is a very peaceful place it looks very nice. This place also looks very safe as if nothing is going to happen. People may be thinking that nothing is going to happen because it is very normal. This place also looks very nice because it is by the water.

2. Look through http://www.atomicarchive.com/Photos/Hiroshima/index.shtml. Find and post a picture of Hiroshima after the bombing and describe what you see/feel.

This is really sad because these peolpe never didn't do anything and they are getting really hurt. Inocent poeple should be protected not hurt because thats just messed up. Probebly these poeple have to take care of their family and now they can't because they are badly burned and they can't even move. Why does the Japanese government decide to throw a bomb to another nation without thinking of the conesquences?!

3. Look through http://fogonazos.blogspot.com/2007/02/hiroshima-pictures-they-didnt-want-us_05.html and post a picture of people suffering from the Hiroshima attack and describe what you see/feel.

I see a poor child sufering because of this attack and he is badly burned. If the man is the father he probebly feels really sad because his child has gotten really burned and he can't do anything about it. So the only thing that the father can do is just watch his child grow and hope that his injuries don't hurt. This is what I think about this picture because it looks really bad for the parents

2nd assignment: Views on Abortion

1. What is your stance on abortion? Give three reasons why (this is your own thoughts).

My stance on abortion would be that I am against abortion because the baby has the right to live. Even though it wasn't made to be on purpose it's not the babies fault that it was made. I'm also against abortion because when the babies are taken out the look really bad. When a baby is in the mother even though they are not well formed the are still there and they can feel pain. If the mothers don't want them then they could give them up for adoption that why the baby has a chance to live.

2. Copy/paste evidence that supports that supports your views. Make sure you use quotation marks (" ") because these are NOT your words. - 3 points

"As we as a nation have lost respect for the unborn child, we've also lost respect for the child's mother. Violence against pregnant women has skyrocketed in recent decades. No longer are pregnant women universally treated with respect. Instead, they are far too often viewed with contempt--as if they've done something wrong by trying to nurture and protect an unborn baby."

"Another moral argument put across as a reason against abortion is yet again a phrase instilled into humankind since time incarnate - If providence has given, it shall arrange for it too. Simply put, this means that a child has been brought on earth, he or she should be given a full chance to live a life, as God must have planned something for them. While the above arguments may not find favor amongst the modern generation or even the atheists, who consider life forming as a simple scientific process, here are some various psychological, medical and human-emotions related facts against abortion. While it cannot be said whether an abortion is an unforgivable event, it is of course an unforgettable event. An abortion plays havoc with the psychology and the future life of the entire family. The woman who has lost her child, at any time between the pregnancy, will never be the same. While the woman may be the hardest hit by an abortion, one also has to think about the mental and emotional state of the entire family. While physically only the woman undergoes an abortion, mentally and emotionally it is the entire family who loses a part of their mind and body forever. Anesthesia is available only for the physical structure of the human body, not for the emotional and mental state of a person."

3. Explain the quote you chose for number 2 in your own words. You can explain it in the following ways: relate it to something that happened in your life or someone else's, explain why you agree with the statement, explain it to the reader with more detail in case the reader might not understand the quote, or give the reader a hypothetical situation in which the quote plays out. (Whichever why you decide to explain your quote, you should have at least 3 sentences to be thorough) - 6 points

I agree to this quote because many people are starting to lose respect on pregnant woman. They have done this because they think abortion would be better ;so the baby isn't important. Also they think that the mothers would be over reacting because the baby isn't even born yet.

I agree with this also because a baby does have a right to live because God apperanty has something instore for him or her. I also agree with this because an abortion can be really emotional to the family not just the mother. I can't relate to this because nobody that I know in my family has had an abortion.

First Assignment: Powerful Pictures

1. Insert the picture that is the most powerful for you.


2. Answer in a complete sentence: What is this picture about?

This picture is about the fires that have been occurring because of the heat. The firefighters are risking their lives and trying their best to stop them the fires.

3. What message does this picture present to you? Why?

What this picture presents to me is that we should start paying attention to global warming. My reason is because people don't pay attention to it so they don't care what happens to the world.

4. Can you relate your life to this picture? Why or why not?

I'm not really sure if I can relate this to me. I'm not sure because I haven't really ever started a fire to begin with.What I can relate is that many people don't think that fires are dangerous because they aren't near a fire so they don't care. I also can't relate to this picture because even if I wanted to I can't do anything but I would want to.
