How did the way Japanese fought in the Pacific affect the decision to use the atomic bomb against japan?

The Japanese were expected to fight to the last man (and woman). This meant that the casualties, especially on the American side, would be astronomical. By dropping two atom bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the Japanese were forced to surrender, before the American forces had to fight their way on to the Japanese mainland. Though the bombs were terribly destructive weapons, and killed many Japanese, with many dying later from radiation sickness, because the bombs forced the Japanese to surrender, actually many Japanese and American forces survived the World War II in Asia.
