Hiroshima Essay, Research Paper


Hiroshima is the capital of Hiroshima Prefecture, southwestern


Honshu, Japan. Hiroshima has warm, humid summers with July


temperatures. Hiroshima caught the attention of the world when a


U.S. plane dropped the first atomic bomb on the City, destroying


it on August 6,1945. The Atomic bomb blast in 1945 obliterated


three- fifths of the city within seconds and killed about 75,000


people. At exactly fifteen minutes past eight in the mourning,


on August 6, 1945 Japanese time, at the moment when the atomic


bomb flashed above Hiroshima.


At the time of the blast:Mrs.Huts Nakamura, a tailors


widow stood by the window of her kitchen, watching a neighbor


tearing down his house because it laid in path of an air-raid


defense free lane . Mrs. Huts Nakamura, who lived in the section


called Nobori-Cho got her three children, a ten year old


boy,Toshio, an eight year old girl yoke, and a five year old


girl, Mohawk out of bed and dressed them and walked with them


to the Military area known as the East Parade Ground. There she


unrolled some mats and the children laid down on them. They


slept until about two, when they were awakened by the roar of


the planes going over Hiroshima. As soon as the planes had


passed, mars.Nakamura started back with her children. They reached


home a little after two-thirty and she immediately turned on the


radio, which was broadcasting a fresh warnin!


g. She put the children in their bedrolls on the floor, laid


down herself at three o clock, and fell asleep at once. The


siren jarred her awake at about seven o clock, she arose and


hurried to the house of Mr.Nakamoto, the head of her


neighborhood Association and asked him what she should do. He


told her to remain at home unless an urgent warning. The


Prefectural Government convinced, everyone in Hiroshima that the


city would be attacked. Their house was 1,350 yards or three-


quarters of a mile, from the center of the explosion. Timbers


fell around her as she landed and a shower of tiles also fell


on her; everything became dark and she became buried. She heard


a child cry Mother,help me! and she saw her youngest child,


Mohawk the five year old buried up to her chest and unable to


move. As Mrs.Nakamura started Frantically to claw!


her way toward the baby, she couldn t see or hear anything of


her other children.


Mrs.Nakamura

always was a strong person, she never thought


of the worst and always hoped for the best. Here is an example


of her strength, Mrs.Nakamura, although she was too ill to walk


she managed to return to Hiroshima alone, by electric car to


the outskirts, by foot from there. Mrs.Nakamura cared for her


children and everyone else. Her attitude was always pushing for


the good never wanting to give up. Mrs.Nakamura said,(she needed


nothing more to make her give up thinking, in spite of the


atomic bomb, that Japan still had a chance to win the war).


Mrs.Nakamura helped everyone through this time including herself.


Weakness occurred after the bomb had dropped. Mrs.Nakamura, who


had suffered no cuts or burns at all, though she had been


rather nauseated all through the week she and her children had


spent as guests of Father Kleinsorge !


and the other Catholics at the Novitlate. Mrs.Nakamura began


fixing her hair and noticed, after one stroke through her hair,


that her comb carried with it a whole handful of hair. Three


or four days past, she became bald and began living indoors,


practically hiding. Mrs.Nakamura daughter, Mohawk woke up feeling


week and tired and they both stayed on their bedrolls. Her son


and other daughter, who had shared every experience with her


during the after bombing, felt fine. They did not realize it,


but they were coming down with the strange, capricious disease


which became known as radiation sickness. Mrs.Nakamura laid


indoors with Mohawk. They both continued to be sick, Mrs.Nakamura


realized that their sickness was caused by the bomb. Mrs.Nakamura


was too poor to see a doctor and never knew exactly what the


matter was. Without any treatment at !


All they began to feel better. All the children had lost a


little hair but were well.


Hiroshima is the capital of Hiroshima prefecture,


southwestern Honshu, Japan. The Atomic bomb blast in 1945


obliterated three fifths of the city within seconds and killed


about 75,000 people. Mrs.Huts Nakamura, with her ten year old


boy Toshio, eight year old girl Yoke, and a five year old girl


Mohawk were strong through the whole situation. I chose


Mrs.Nakamura because she was a very strong and caring person who


never gave up for herself and her children. I also chose


Mrs.Nakamura because she is the one character who kept me


interested in the book. That is why I chose Mrs.Nakamura
