HW Mr. Padilla 2.9.16


Homework: Parents/guardians, please assist your child with today’s homework.
Topic: Is all technology beneficial to human beings? 

* Miss Sasaki went back to her office and sat down at her desk…She settled herself at her desk… She thought that  … she would chat for a moment with the girl at her right. Just as she turned her head away from the windows, the room was filled with a blinding light. She was paralyzed (couldn’t move) by fear…
Everything fell, and Miss Sasaki lost consciousness. The ceiling dropped suddenly and the wooden floor above collapsed in splinters and the people up there came down and the roof above them gave way… the bookcases right behind her swooped forward and the contents threw her down, with her left leg horribly twisted and breaking underneath her. There, in the tin factory, in the first moment of the atomic age, a human being was crushed by books.
