My Overall Experience

The ongoing debate with Harry Truman and the scientists that dropped the bomb is very controversial. The scientists that created the bomb, had to live with the fact that what they created has the possibility

When President Roosevelt died he left Vice President Truman the enormous dilemma of whether or not to use the atomic bomb in the war against Japan. The scientists informed Truman of the bomb’s devastating force and expressed concerns about the future of such dangerous weapons (Document 2). However, the ends justified the risks because President Truman needed to seize America’s advantage, end the war, and save human lives.

This historical analysis of the diary provides the reader with entries that assist in clarifying the very indecisive person President Truman really was. When President Truman received confirmation from the Manhattan project that the bomb testing had gone successfully he recorded in his diary that the world would end soon because of this discovery. Only to enter into his diary a week later after some reflection, that they had discovered the most terrible bomb in the history of the world. This clarifies that President Truman although he wasn’t interested in the minor details of the bomb when he was briefed of the Manhattan project he did in fact understand that the atomic bomb was a weapon of mass destruction. Walker puts emphasis on President Truman’s diary entries to demonstrate the intent of President Truman's actions towards the use of the atomic

When President Harry S. Truman was going through the process of deciding to drop the atomic bomb he was heavily

Only a handful of people knew about the bomb or the research on the use of atomic energy for military purposes. Now Truman had been informed about the best kept secret of World War II.

the ruler could not do everything on his own, so he had helpers called hierarchy. they would go to meetings and do other jobs for the ruler.

The development and deployment of the atomic bomb by the United States towards the Japanese raised a number of issues that still remain relevant today. World War II was tentatively beginning to conclude when the prospect of dropping the bomb was considered; this consideration led to much controversy and thought from scientists and the president. Leading up to this final decision, the scientists and the president did not share perfectly identical views regarding the drop; though they did come to the same final conclusion, part of this being due to the fact that their jobs are not identical in requirement for what must be considered. Though both the scientists working in the Manhattan Project and President Harry S. Truman held reservations

Truman’s decision to use atomic weapons has long been a controversial subject throughout the decades after he used it. Many scholars and people who surrounded the president at the time published memoirs and books about the decision to use the weapon. As years went, more works of writing and information were released which added more information to the vast knowledge we have of the decision to drop the bomb and of what the Japanese faced after the event took place. J. Samuel Walker wrote a book called Prompt & utter destruction which uses new knowledge gained about the bomb and new information the Japanese released, which Walker said, “has greatly enriched our understanding of the agonizing deliberations in Tokyo over ending the war”

I thought that this source was somewhat limited, but still helpful. The little information that I learned was original, and didn`t conflict with anything I learned from the other

President Truman’s bravery in dropping the atomic bomb is and always will be one of the most significant events in American history. At the time of Truman coming into office, he had no previous knowledge of the making of the atomic bomb (Donovan, 1977, p.45). However, much focus was placed on using this bomb because of how much time and money had been put into the project (Donovan, 1977, p.45). A major figure who helped push President Truman to use the bomb was former President Roosevelt (Donovan, 1977, p.47). During his time with President Truman, he contributed to the master plan by having crews trained to attack Japan with atomic bombs (Donovan, 1977, p.47).

Finding sources for my research shouldn’t be too challenging. I plan to use mostly Google Scholar & ProQuest. Finally, as you can imagine, there isn’t exactly much controversy surrounding

Thus the value to this source is very high, as the illustration of Harry Truman’s mindset is not altered by an opinion, yet based on factual evidence. One limitation this source retains is that Walker really only mentions the reasons why the bombing should happen, not why the atomic bombing should have not actually taken place, eliminating a whole other side of the story.

One of my personal experiences that I had was when my family decided to move from New Jersey to Florida. I never planned on moving with them but my mother basically forced me into moving with them. It wasn’t really all that moving stuff because the new house was actually pretty nice, it was just I had all my friends there and I was doing well in school. Nothing I said convinced my mother so after a week of packing we was off to Florida. The first week being there was a horrible week. Nothing was going right for me, I missed the school bus for a whole week, dropped my milk on my new shoes, and tripped over nothing in lunch. It was just trying to move back but parents always have this life lesson speech about trying to make new friends and try to get used to being here until we move again. It’s been about a month since we moved to Florida and I met about zero friends but I got used to living here since I’ve found something that interested me as an after school hobby and that was fishing. There’s barley any lakes or ponds in New Jersey so fishing wasn’t really something you do as a time waster. I usually fished right after I got home but on that day it was rainy and it wasn’t really a good time to fish so I just decided to practice my free shots until it started raining hard. I think I was outside for about 20minutes and suddenly a couple kids from my new school asked if they can shoot

Sitting in class for the first time, it was half of what I expected. I expected to sit by people I didn’t know, learn about old things in new lights, and writing a lot of papers. What I didn’t expect was me hating college. I am not as creative as some teaches would like, but that isn’t my personality, and I dint want it to be either. I fully expected college to try and morph me into a perfect little student that I knew I wasn’t. College so far to me hasn’t been fun and I will treat it like Wal-Mart. When I say that, I mean that I will get in and get out as fast as possible. If I pick up stuff along the way then alright, but if I don’t, then it won’t kill me.

When I think of my own personal past experiences, I think of the most significant events and most likely think that those are the times that have shaped you as who you are today and who you are in the future. When my grandpa had passed away there were major effects that my family and I had faced. Difficulties like not being able to sleep at night and having lost someone who meant something special to everyone. When I think about the smaller challenges I have faced in the past and throughout my life, I can start to put together that even the most insignificant events that have happened in the past could make a significant impact on the person I am in my near or far future. Occurrences like going through broken bones, losing friends, or even a gym teacher might have a greater force than I may have expected.
