Think about Peace: Book Reveiw1-12


I talked about Thousand Paper Cranes last week. I found the book about Sadako Sasaki, so I introduce it.


This is the story about Sadako's life. She is the twelfth person in 1955 who was killed by new clear weapons. She was only twelve years old. She loved running, and she was good at running. One day, when she ran on the school ground, she felt everything seemed to whirl around her, and she falled on the ground. This is the start of bad happened. She had to be in the hospital. She was a member of the race, but she couldn't run again. Then, she heard about Thousand Cranes from her friends. She started to fold cranes with her pray getting well. One day, she heard that her friends Kenji was dead. She was so sad. At the same time, she worried about her sick. She thought next is she. However she had never given up. She kept folding cranes making same wish. She feld six hundred and fourty four cranes, but it was last of the cranes. She was dead on October 23, 1955.


After that, People made Sadako's statue in Hiroshima. They put many paper cranes on beneath the statue. And then, their wish engraved .


"This is our cry,

this is our prayer;

peace in the world"


We mustn't forget her. She lived her life so hard. Then, we mustn't make same mistake whatever happened. You should think about peace. This is Sadako's wish.
