Time Events
Before the attack As usual, the wake-up call came at 5:45 a.m. The men aboard the warship USS Arizona went to the washroom, dressed in their uniforms and sat down to breakfast.
During the attack Hundreds of Japanese planes circled like eagles and dropped bombs on Pearl Harbor, and one hit the USS Arizona from above. Clouds of black smoke rose into the sky and hung over the sea. Russell was severely injured. Louis helped the injured ones and saved more men from water even after receiving the order to abandon ship. Russell was saved and survived.

Time Events
After the attack The surprise attack caused a lot of deaths and losses of ships and airplanes. The day after the attack, the US Congress declared war on Japan, which meant that the United States joined the Second World War.
Now Today, the USS Arizona lies where it sank and its location is marked with a memorial shaped like a bridge. Each year, more than two million people visit the memorial. People will never forget the attack on Pearl Harbor, one of the darkest episodes in American history.

4. Please retell what happened that day from Louis’s perspective.
Everything seemed normal that day. When we sat down to breakfast aboard the USS Arizona, a bomb hit our ship. I was fortunate to have only minor injuries. When I got to the deck, what I saw was terrible. Many of my friends were dead or thrown into the sea. I tried my best to help those who were still alive and saved many people’s lives. Some people regard me as a hero, but I think heroes are the ones that gave their lives that day.

The sentence also presents a sharp contrast between the first and second paragraphs, thus impressing the reader with the cruelty of the sudden attack.

Step

Physical impacts
He suffered serious burns on his hands, arms and legs, and watched many of his friends die.
With only minor injuries, he was able to help others who were severely burnt and in terrible pain.
Russell was saved from the water, but he was badly hurt, bleeding heavily.
Mental impacts
For many years, Russell refused to talk about what happened that morning, describing it simply as “hell”.
His wife Elsa said, “When he opened up later on, he always mentioned the horror of it.”
Appreciating the title

Step
◆ After reading the whole passage, now how do you think of the title Are there any figures of speech in it
Russell described it as “hell”. Any topic related to the attack might awaken memories of his horrible experience. At the same time, metaphor is used here to make the description more powerful. The author compares the Pearl Harbor attack to “hell” to emphasize the devastation of the attack. At the same time, suspense is created, making the reader wonder what exactly happened at Pearl Harbor.
Further thinking

Step
◆ Why should we never forget the attack on Pearl Harbor
We should never forget the attack on Pearl Harbor because it is a reminder of the horror of war. Many lives are lost in wars. Families are torn apart and those who survive wars are often left with injuries to their bodies or their minds. The traumas of war make it difficult for them to live a normal life after experiencing things so frightening like bombs thundering, things being destroyed, and people struggling. Furthermore, the attack on Pearl Harbor should be a reminder that maintaining peace throughout the world is the only way this kind of tragedy would never happen again.
