This is a picture of a mall in Japan. There are many trees and people are walking around. The people are enjoying their day and having a great time. What they don't know is that their lives will not be the same after the bombing.













This is an image of some of the effects of the bombing on Hiroshima. As you can see there were a lot of people that were not able to escape the bomb. The person was evaropated by the heat of the bomb but their shadows were burnt into the ground. Those are only some of the unfortunate people that were killed by the bomb.

























In this picture I see a boy who was hurt by the explosion. His hair and skin were burned off in the bombing.The boy also looks very sad. I feel sorry for this boy because he will never live a normal life after this experience.

2nd assignment: Views on Abortion

I think that abortion should be legal. It should be legal because if the couple doesn't want the baby and they couldn't abort the child will have an unhappy life. Also because by trying to lose the baby without aborting not only will the mothers hurt themselves they will also hurt the unborn child. Another thing is that the mother could have been raped or forced to have sex which caused the pregnancy. "Banning abortion puts women at risk by forcing them to use illegal abortionists." I agree with this statement because if abortion is banned women will use more deadly ways to abort and it could end in their death. "This argument reminds us that even in the abortion debate we should regard the woman as a person and not just as a container for the foetus." This quote states that we have to remember that not only is the mother the provider and home of the baby she is a human being that has the right to abort.
