NAGASAKI, AUGUST 9, 1945 BY MICHAITO ICHIMARU

Disaster Occurred at Nagasaki
     The study of the essay "Nagasaki, August 9, 1945" by Michaito Ichimaru gives us a detailed narration of the destruction caused by the atom bomb in Nagasaki, the city of Japan, on August 9, 1945. The atom bomb was dropped by Allied forces. The picture of the ruin comes alive before our eyes through the impressive narration of the writer. 
     The writer narrates that it was a sunny day. All of a sudden, at 11 am a b-29 appeared and dropped an atom bomb. The black rain started to fall. The blue sky turned to black. The air dose of radiation was more than 700 raids. The people who were coming back from hypo-center were in miserable condition. "Their clothes were in rags and shreds of skin hung from their bodies".
     Thousands of people were seriously injured. The noise of their cries was unbearable. They looked like ghosts. They too died after a few day. The dead bodies were large in number that it was a big problem to dispose them off. So they were piled up and burnt with the help of woods. Everywhere there was death and destruction. 
     To sum up, it was an awful, horrible and terrible tragedy which befell the people of Nagasaki on that day.
