Book: Hiroshima Author: JOhn Hersey This is an personal reaction paper to the book "HIroshima". It touches upon and emphasizes important events.

Personal Reaction to Hiroshima First, I would like to start my paper off by saying that I read books for two reasons: it is required reading for English or it has something to do with poker, psychology, or cars. However, there is always a book that I stumble across that makes me enjoy reading books that don't fit in my two criterias. Last year it was The Great Gatsby and this year it happened to …

…Hiroshima. All in all, this book has taught me many things and has rekindled my liking for books and reading. The Hiroshima bombing will go down in the history books as the event that obliterated the lives of a hundred thousand Japanese civilians with the push of a single button. I hope the whole world can learn from this book and the past so that a tragedy like this can be avoided in the future.
