That's a hell of a decision to make.” ~ Lee Iacocca In my opinion both bombs are justifiable because America saved more lives- more people would have died in an invasion.

Courageous An adjective that describes Huck best in The Adventure of Huckleberry Finn would be courageous; Huck Finn displays many qualities that one would categorize as being courageous and this is seen numerous times within in the novel. Huck Finn’s first display of courage would be when he sold his six thousand dollar fortune for one dollar.

He also, knew his father would be furious with his decision.
The involved parties focus solely on that attribute, and therefore consequences are ignored, and thus lives can be lost. Hate and love complement each other as they are so different. Love is happiness gained through being with those that you love, whereas hate is happiness gained through disliking someone, which is the complete opposite to love.
