    Hiroshima and Nagasaki Essay

    We are coming down to our last part of the unit for WWII. We have discussed the bombings in
    Hiroshima and Nagasaki, you guys are now experts on the subject. What I want you guys to do
    now is write an essay using primary source accounts of survivors of the bombings in WWII and
    explain in detail how their lives have been affected then and until now. How did the bombings
    affect their daily lives, jobs, family, but also how did the Japanese culture get affected by it? I
    also want you to answer whether you think Japan should have been bombed or not, but also what
    do people in this present time think about the bombings of WWII?
    1. Requirements:
    Essay should be 3-4 pages long, double spaced, times new roman, 12 font.
    Must include citations in Chicago style.
    This is a good site that contains primary accounts you may use :
    http://www.hiroshima-remembered.com/history/hiroshima/page14.html
    You must search for the primary accounts but I must approve of them first so I
    would like a copy of them first.
    2. Structure:
    Essay must contain an introduction with a little history background of Hiroshima
    and Nagasaki as well as background of the war. (I expect for you to use your
    notes or book for this).
    A thesis should be included within the introduction and should be clear and
    concise.
    The essay should contain evidence from the primary sources and be included into
    the essay properly in the body paragraphs.
    A conclusion should be included to wrap up your essay and ideas.
    3. Other information:
