This is the city of Hiroshima. It looks like a nice, peaceful, working city. It looks like any average city filled with working people and their families. It doesn't look like the kind of city that's involved in wars and bombings.


This is a part of Hiroshima after the atomic bombing in World War 2 1945. Countless buildings were destroyed and many were killed. Families, personal belongings and their homes were also destroyed. This is a very sad view especially since it was man that did this. Other places that are destroyed like this are from natural occurring things such as hurricanes and tornadoes but this wasn't.


He is a Hiroshima bombing survivor. You can see the pain in scars and the agony in his eyes. I can not imagine going through something like that. I can not say i feel his pain but i can imagine it.




This is a picture drawn by a Hiroshima bombing survivor. The picture shows a person that was injured by the bombing like many others were but for others they weren't that lucky.

1. I have a very strong opinion towards abortion. The picture above is a fetus it has a head, legs,
and hands like we do but some women say that this is not alive and i say that it is. I believe that abortion should only be allowed if a woman went through a case of rape but it should be hard to get. People have abortions because they don't want the responsibility of a child or can't afford it but in this country you can get help there is a solution for everything. Another reason why a mother would decide on an abortion is because they are told that their babies will be "special". I know this because I've heard cases and my mom sort of went through it.

2."If you voluntarily act in a way that brings about the existence of a person or a fetus, then you have a responsibility to maintain the life of that person or fetus."

3. This quote is basically saying that you have to take responsibility for your actions. If you decided to have unprotected sex than the consequences of that you have to be responsible for. Taking a big step like that comes with responsibilities.

4."However there are many cases in which people who think it would be better not to abort give serious consideration to an abortion. Some of these are listed below:

...the child will suffer from some mental or physical abnormality that the parents (correctly?) think will very seriously damage its quality of life"

5. My mom went for a hospital visit to check up on the baby and the doctor told her my sister was going to be a "special" child. The first thing the doctor suggested was abortion. My mom was very angry, said no, and stormed out of the room. Months later when my baby sister was born she was perfectly fine. Imagine if my mom would have had an abortion because of the smart doctor's mistake.

Hurricane Ike Hits


Hurricane Ike hit Galveston, Texas very hard. It was devastating to people who were allowed to return to the island. Homes were destroyed and nothing was left of the place they once called home. This picture shows me that i should really appreciate what i have it must be very hard to loose everything you have. I can not really relate to this picture because all my life my parents have provided a roof over my head and thankfully I have never lost a home. I feel great sorrow for the people who homes were destroyed or lives were lost during Hurricane Ike. May help come soon.
