Option 3:
*At nearly
midnight, the night before the bomb was dropped, an announcer on the city’s
radio station said that about two hundred B-29s were approaching … and advised
the population of Hiroshima to evacuate to their designated “safe areas.” Mrs.
Nakamura…got her three children—…Toshio, …, Yaeko, …and Myeko—out of bed …and
walked with them to … the …edge of the city… They slept until … awakened by the roar of the planes going over
Hiroshima.
… When she
looked at the children and saw how tired they were, … she thought of the number
of trips they had made in past weeks, all to no purpose…, she simply could not
face starting out all over again. She put the children in their bedrolls on the
floor, lay down herself…and fell asleep…. so soundly that when the planes
passed over later, she did not waken to their sound.
Q: Survival
is a theme in the novel Hiroshima. Do
you believe that survival has to do with luck or with being prepared and
listening to warnings? Explain your
answer in a brief paragraph.
