1)
ReplyDeleteMiss Sasaki- she had been in the. Hospital for a long time before she could even be released, she finally got released from the hospital on crutches and she became a Catholic, but her fiancée never came back to see her and she would sometimes fall into deep depression.
Kotaoka children- they reconnected with their family
Mrs. Nakaruma- everyone in her family died except for her younger sister.
Dr. Sasaki- he and his colleagues discovered the stages of the illness everyone was coming down with. He later got married and took more interest in his own life.
Mrs. Nakarumura- he and her daughter came down with radiation sickness which made their hair fall out, but with lots of rest they started to get better.
Mr. Tanimoto- he also had radiation sickness, so with treatments of vitamin B and a ancient Japanese treatment his fever started to go down.
Father Kleinsorge- he became very sick almost on the verge of death, but because of the treatment from the Tokyo hospital be beat the odd of death and lived.
Dr. Fujii- opened up is own medical private clinic.
2) Hershey's belief about people being able to be resilient comes from the fact that even though theses peoples lives have change dramatically they still work hard to help each other, and that they feel proud to be Japanese. They don't mind suffering for their emperor or their country, because they are proud people even in their times of hardship. This quote proves that they are loud to be from Japan and they take pride in dying for the country and emperor, "What a fortunate we are Japanese, it was my first time I ever tasted such a beautiful spirt when I decided to die for the emperor".
3) From pages 60-90 the story is taking about how the bomb affected everyone health wise, and how the new government is starting to build up the "new Hiroshima".
Miss Sasaki- token to red cross. Her leg still pus and sore until Dr. Sasaki aided it. She felt weak and had a fever. Then with the help of her and Father kliensorge conversation she began to heal.
ReplyDeleteDr. Sasaki- Still trying to save lives, restless. Started to get the hospital back together and a little sleep. But still wasn’t able to work how he use to.
Mrs. Nakamara- Became very ill, started to bald and feel very weak. Soon she had gotten better, found a place and started her life off well. Until, she started to lose the money that she had. Now she looks for a way to repair her sewing machine to make money.
Mr. Fujii-Stilled had wounds which later recovered then he started another private hospital.
Mr. Tanimoto- Came back to his church where he found it ruined. As of now there is no plans of him making it better he lost his confidence.
Father kliensorge- Began to feel weak; temperature kept changing, lost blood cells, and became skinny. He was taken to the hospital, discharged, and then later put back in for over working himself.
Question #2
I think Hersey’s belief about people’s ability to be resilient is that they will never be able to. Not saying that they won’t ever get better but it will never be as it used to be. Deep into the top of page 87 it say “……The lives of these six people, who were among the luckiest in Hiroshima, would never be the same” That says it all.
Question #3
The war is over, Now; people are recovering and trying to get their lives back on track.
1. Mr.Tanimoto tiresomley helps many all over the country finding himself also sick from radiation which eventually goes down with lots of medicine and vitamin B1.
ReplyDelete2. Miss Sasaki leg becomes excruiatingly more painfull swollen with pus white blood cells emensively down and becomes morbid - depressed but she does get better with the help of vitamins. Dr Fuji and Father Kleinsorge.
3. Father Kliensorge helps people spiritually as well as with healing finding himself with wounds, which are cuts not healing but continuing to open as well as symptoms from radiation sickness and a low count of blood cells but despite these problems he gets better and makes a decent recovery back to health.
4. Ms Nakamura starts to bald and feel sickling from radiation sickness but she too starts to recooperate as well as her family. She then finds her bonds and saving papers and goes to the bank getting all of her money and makes a life for her and her family again.
5. Dr. Sasaki extinsevily works to help citizens all over get well treating wounds becoming very tired and worn out but does move on with life getting married and getting some sleep.
6. Dr Fuji is injured from burns of the bomb, he finds shelter recovers and opens an private hospital.
Question 2
Upon reading what I have read thus far I believe Mr. Hersey belief about people being able to be resilient is any one can achieve anything or do anything they want if they are in the right spirit and mindset az it states on page 83 Miss Sasaki is depressed and morbid and it looks like she wont be able to pull through and she was giving up on life but then on page 85 Miss Sasaki was getting well eventually to the point of being recoverd as well as her strength had come back and she lost the spirit of being depressed and morbid but gaining the spirit of hope and life. The spirit of resilient is very powerful and anyone can use it.
Question 3
After all the hurt, pain and horror people are finally recooperating and getting back to there normal lives and starting a new Hiroshima.
Father kleinsorge has been going through the effects of radation sickness and eventually gets better but is not the same.

I think the author feels that some people have tremendous resiliency. In the book it often talks about how the citizens suffered quietly and did not really complain. Also in another part of the book the citizens neglected the fire and started singing the national anthem thinking the had to die for the emperor.
Between pages 60-90 Hiroshimo makes a huge recovery but still have a long way to go.

Father Kleinsorge- he became very sick were he almost died , but because of the treatment from the Tokyo hospital he lived .
Dr. Sasaki- he and his colleagues discovered the stages of the illness everyone was coming down with.
Mr.Tanimoto- he has the radiation disease, he eats as much as possible and get moxa treatments, which helped reduce his fever one degree
Mr. Fujii- his injuries are making progress , he started another private hospital .
Hershey's belief about people being able to be resilient is that even though their lives has changed dramatically in a short period of time , they are still going to work hard and help each other out in any kind of way possible . This quote shows no matter how rough times are for them they are still going to help each other and there emperor "What a fortunate we are Japanese, it was my first time I ever tasted such a beautiful spirt when I decided to die for the emperor".
From pages 60-90 the story is taking about how people are recovering from their injuries and the new government is trying to build Hiroshima back up.
Father Kleinsorge - was sent off to the Catholic International Hospital with a fever of 102.2. He began to run out of luck until suddenly, the hospital treatment contributed to his survival.
ReplyDeleteDr. Sasaki - still treated patients and he lost weight from losing so much weight.
Miss Sasaki - was treated by Dr Sasaki, suffering a leg injury.
Dr. Fujii - lives in the summer house of Mr. Okuma and treats neighborhood patients and ariives at his assistance.
Mrs Nakamura - her Sankoku sewing machine sunk, she sent her brother-in-law to find it. He brought back a rusted and useless sewing machine.
Mr. Tanimoto - was overwhelmed with all the funerals he would have to conduct. He spent a month in bed and then headed toward his father's house in Shikoku.
Hershey believes that the people of Hershey are non-resilient because of the attitude toward the atom bomb. When asked about the atomic bomb Dr. Fuji said "It can'tbe helped . Oh, well. Too bad." It seems to me that the surviving victims feel like there isn't much more to live for.
Pages 60-90 describes the struggle the Hiroshima natives live through after the war is just about over.
