Character Analysis Of Petey In The Other Pin

Louie and Phil used all of their strength to overcome the obstacles they went through, both physically and mentally. Their physical strength was tested throughout their entire journey. Being stranded on the ocean took the initial toll on Louie and Phil’s bodies by diminishing them down to 67-87 and 80 pounds, respectively. Both of them had weighed around 150 pounds when they had crashed. Louie’s mental strength was tested as well. He started to have hallucinations of people singing in the clouds, most likely due to dehydration. The two retained their strength though, by focusing on their survival and trying to remain sane. Their optimism also had a great influence on how strong they were. In Ruth Robertson’s (2016) article “The Strength of Optimism” she states, “There are many benefits to having a more optimistic mindset. Research tells us that it can lengthen your life, determine how you overcome life’s obstacles, build resilience and manage the risks of developing depressive disorders and other mental health issues” (para. 3). Robertson is saying that optimism can help you through the hard times that life throws at us. A positive mindset can transform a life or death situation. Louie even retained a lot of physical strength while he was in the prisoner of war camps. Near the end of his imprisonment he would have to carry literal tons back and forth for hours. The Bird, one of the Japanese guards and Louie’s worst

All too often we do not think about our personal strength until a situation arises that causes us to use this natural attribute that we know as strength.

Being strong can be defined in many ways. For this situation, strength could mean plain power, the higher title you have, the stronger you are. It seems as if all of the play is just a game of power between every character. A game of king of the hill. The player (or in this case the

As Joe dedicates himself more to the rowing team that he is a part of, his coaches realize there is a team aspect missing. For a while when the team was rowing together some days Joe would perform wonderfully and other times the

“That was the first time I wrestled him,” Miller said. “I beat the snot out of him, really bad. He was shocked. Afterward he was freaking out. He was like, ‘That’s the worst I’ve ever been beat.’”

He needed strength to keep going throughout the story. When Louie was in the camps he needed strength through his beatings, and after he was rescued, images of the camps haunting him in his mind. One way Louie showed strength was on page 145 it read, “Louie was asked who’d win the war. ‘America.’... A fist connected with Louie’s nose, and he felt a crunch… He’d pushed the bones back in place with his fingers on the journey.” Louie was very strong, when he said that America would win he got punched in the nose, and his bones shattered. Although along the way he pushed the bones right back in place. Another way Louie showed strength was it said, “Louie walked up a long road, toward a complex of buildings. His whole body tingled. On the entrance archway were the words SUGAMO PRISON, and beyond it awaited Louie’s POW camp guards. Louie had returned to Japan” (271). Louie went to see the POW guards that had dehumanized him while he was in the camps, you would think that Louie would’ve hurt them but instead he was raptured and forgave them for what they had done.When Louie wanted to go meet the Bird, the book says, “‘Six hundred prisoner,’ he said. ‘Zamperini number one’... He called beatings ‘unavoidable.’ Told that Louie wished to come offer forgiveness” (280). Louie wanted to meet with the Bird, the most abusive guard in the camp, showing his strength that he kept throughout his time. Louie had strength during the camps and even more when

The he found himself thinking of something pete once said A lifetime of glory is worth a moment of pain. Louie thought: let go. With one lap to go, louie fixed his eyes on the gleaming head of the pomaded runner, far ahead He began a dramatic acceleration Around the turn and down the backstretch, Louie kicked, his legs reaching and pushing, his speed dazzling. One by one, runners came up ahead and faded behind.”(36) This proves how determined Louie can be and how big of an impact that Pete had on him. Louie kept trying and training he eventually got to the NCAA championship, but some people did not want him to win Just as “Louie was about to take the lead, several runners shouldered in around him, boxing him in. the man beside him swerved and stomped on his foot, impaling Louie’s toe with his spike. Then the man in front kicked back, cutting Louie’s shins. A third man elbowed Louie’s chest so hard, he cracked Louie’s rib. The crowd gasbed. Bleeding and in pain, Louie was trapped. For a lap and a half, he ran in the cluster of men, restraining his stride to avoid running into the man ahead. At last, nearing the final turn, he saw a tiny gap. He burst through, sprinted to lead, and with his shins streaming blood and his chest aching, won easily.”(43) This proves that louie is determined because even when he was hurt he still had it in him to find a way and

courage, like Kevin, to stand up for himself. Max is very weak because he is very discouraged from being

The most obvious reason on considering your choices is to be careful what you say or do. In the story the main character realised will he was fighting he couldn’t win.

Petey gets frustrated with the mental institution, because in chapter three esteban would bring petey a piece of chocolate everyday and then start questioning petey and then he figured out that he isn't stupid. Petey knew this, but when he was trying to get the nurses attention, when Calvin was on the floor the nurses just thought the arm flailing was just nothing. I know this because in chapter four Petey was moved in a new mental institution and met Calvin. He had fell off his wheelchair and Calvin was in big trouble Petey knew, so he started to get the nurses attention but with no effect and then he got so frustrated he squealed, and helped Calvin.This is one example of how Petey got frustrated with the intuition.
