The Oral History of a Nuclear Disaster Discussion 4
An analysis from three perspectives in Voices from Chernobyl. The
Oral History of a Nuclear Disaster. by Svetlana Alexievich
You will write about the Chernobyl disaster and the weeks
following it from three voices/three perspectives: Pick three of
these four or five: a) from the perspective of a nuclear scientist in
Chernobyl, b) from the perspective of a wife of a liquidator, c) from
the perspective of Mikhail Gorbachev, d) from the perspective of a
child in Pripyat, e) from the perspective of an abandoned dog in
the exclusion zone or f) (for the environmentally minded) from the
perspective of a tree or plant in the exclusion zone). In writing
from these people’s or beings’ perspectives, consider 1. what they
can and cannot know at the time of the accident, 2. what nuclear
power means to them, what they value in life and what’s not
important to them, 3. consider the tactile or physical information
accessible to them: where are they when the accident occur and
in the weeks after; what do they see, smell, hear, observe, feel?
How does the story, the explanations and the important
information change depending on who’s perspective you are
trying to comprehend?
The analysis will be 1-2 pages. The answer needs to be based on
the reading and include quotes. SOURCES MUST BE CITED USING
