In the previous unit, we were tasked to choose a literary non-fiction book from the collection of books provided. As for myself, I choose the book “Bomb” by Steve Sheinkin. This historical non-fiction read is a perfect representation of the sophisticated events during WWII and the devastating effects of nuclear weapons. Before 1938, no one knew that nuclear fission was possible. After the famous discovery by radiochemist Otto Hahn of how uranium atoms could split in half and produce a substantial amount of energy in the process, everyone knew that a race to build this new powerful weapon was destined to begin. This is the story of the atomic bomb.
Below are pages from my notebook that reflect my thinking throughout this read. I have selected 3 pages discussing topics around the theme, central idea, issues, and extra research about the book. Thank you for reading in advance!
