August 6 is the day when an atomic bomb was dropped
on Hiroshima. After another atomic bomb attack on
Nagasaki, the World War II was over on August 15,
1945. This war began with the surprise attack on
Pearl Harbor in Hawaii by the Japanese army in 1941.
We have studied the fact that the Japanese army@
commited atrocities in some Asian countries at war.
Lots of children and students had a peace meeting
at school today never to forget the cruelty of wars
and atomic bombs. They sweared to make efforts to
keep peace.
We now enjoy a peaceful life every day in Japan.
LABO senior students thought about peace.
What is Peace?
* Everyone lives in comfort. (Chie - 4th grade)
* There is no wars. Nobody goes to war. We are not
@at war. (Natsuki - 5th grade, Maiko - 6th grade,
Asuka - 7th grade, Akiko & Sota - 8th grade)
* A comfort town to live in (Rie - 5th grade)
* No struggles (Yuki - 8th grade)
* Human being is calm and gentle. (Sota - 8th grade)
* We can live without fear. (Hiroshi - 10th grade)
We would like to know everybody's opinion about
peace.
