sodako and the 1,000 paper cranes
Today in class we learned about Sadako Saski . she was born on January 7 1943 in Hiroshima japan during world war 2. she was only 2 when the little boy bomb dropped on her home town on August 6 1945 also known as the Enola gay. When that happened Sadako was at home playing with her toys when the bomb landed she was blown out the window and berried under broken homes her mother spent hours searching for her suspecting she mite be dead but she found her daughter berried in rocks. after that bomb landed the war was over but it killed 20,000 people. Sadako was a great student all here grades where high and she was a very good runner and athlete. about nine years after the bomb landed Sadako was diagnosed with swelling on her checks and ears and she got purple bumps on her legs and she was sent to the hospital. one day he friend came to visit her and said if you fold 1,000 paper cranes your wish will come true sadly Sadako only made it to 644 cranes before she died at age of twelve. people all over the world still make paper cranes andsend them to her memorial so I dedicate this blog post to Sadako Saski and that she folded cranes to have hope that she would make it but there is much more to do to have hope and to give hope to others
