On August, 6, 1945, the nuclear weapon Little Boy was dropped on Hiroshima. Nearly 80,000 people were killed directly. At the end of the year, the number reached 140,000. Approximately 69% of the city's buildings were completely destroyed, and 6.6 percent severely damaged. Till now, the atomic radiation also has bad effects on the people living there. I cannot imagine what the situation there was! Such a beautiful city was destroyed on a second! In the war, there were so many people dead. After the bomb, the entire city became grey and was full of sadness. We cannot say who is right or wrong in the war because so many Japanese were innocent. However, just these innocent people lost their family and lives. I believe nobody wants wars, and everyone wants to have a peaceful life with the family. In the war, so many people died and after the war, people had to rebuild the ruins. We love peace, so we do not want to see another Hiroshima.

I also choose this photo because I am shocked by the serious consequence which was made by nuclear weapon. Our world needs peace and more communications. Government should consider the bad effects which brought by nuclear weapon and stop the production of them. People don’t want see another damaged Hiroshima anymore and we will try our best to avoid wars.
When I was in junior high, we watched a movie in my history class that was about the bomb dropped on Hiroshima. It was very graphic, and included actual footage from Hiroshima just after the bomb had been dropped. Many students cried, some students threw up.
I don't know why we can't learn from past wars. Why do we start new ones?
