Response To Question 9: Louie And Phil

One of America’s greatest athletes and three-time Olympic champion once said, “Sometimes we fall, sometimes we stumble, but we can’t stay down. We can’t allow life to beat us down. Everything happens for a reason, and it builds character in us, and it tells us what we are about and how strong we really are when we didn’t think we could be that strong.” The leadership Louie Zamperini portrayed in Laura Hillenbrand’s nonfiction book Unbroken, helps his remaining crew when they were trapped in the Pacific Ocean all alone. In short, Louie stepped up and showed his crewmates that he could be strong for them, leading them to safety on the island in the distance. This courageous act act leads me to believe that Hillenbrand emphasized this act of

Louie grew up in a small town, he was a rebel child who stole things and started fights. All he wanted to do was run away because he always had his parents or his brother lecturing and yelling at him. However, Louie had a very special gift in which he never put to work. Thankfully for his brother, he got him back on track. Louie’s gift was running, he was so fast and could never stop. Louie continues to compete and break world records soon leading him to go to the olympics and he tries to break the world record of the timed mile. His career was stopped and taken over when the second world war two broke out, and he enters the army. He becomes a bombardier. On his first mission, a battle occurs between him and his captain, however they managed to land the plane safely. Then they are placed onto a new plane that eventually gets shot down, Louie was one out of three who survived. These three men had to figure out how to survive even though they were flustered about the whole situation. One ended up dying but Louie stayed strong and was fighting for his own food to survive. Everything was going smoothly, they were surviving for a pretty long time but it quickly shifted when the japanese find them. The Japanese shuttle Louie and his

Raymer was able to elucidate in explicit detail what the divers endured during the post-Pearl Harbor recovery operations, and successfully accomplished his goals of providing vivid insight. Raymer’s account of working underwater, operating in pitch black environments, and maintaining communication in a time of developing technology were done so in an entertaining yet educational manner. His goals were to captivate and capture the readers attention by sharing the experiences of true historical accounts, a goal which is easily accomplished by most casual and scholarly readers. The book was written in a fashion where it was sophisticated yet easy to comprehend and understand by most individuals. While articulate, Raymer aimed at providing a factual cut and dry depiction of what happened, essentially point blank memoirs that would have the most profound impact (evident considering the book is less than 220 pages including pictures).

In conclusion, Admiral McRaven’s speech had all of the factors needed to be considered great. From beginning to end, McRaven was able to capture the audience’s attention while delivering a powerful message that can be applied to any listener’s life. The reason for that being the case is that as humans, we all have challenges that we must overcome. Even though many people possess the ability to do so, most are often defeated by their own mind and thus never truly reach their full potential. But, after hearing a speech such as this, it is hard not to be inspired to be

On May 27, 1943 Louie and his new crew were

The 2 other people were named Allen Phillips and Francis McNamara. They tried to survive for the next 46 days in some inflatable rafts while drifting in miles and miles of water. In a panic Francis ate all the nutritional chocolate that were meant to keep them alive. They drifted into Japanese waters and a plane strafed them with bullets and Francis died there. They saw an Island but it was filled with Japanese troops and were captured on Kwajalein

They were then hit with a gun, blindfolded and thrown into a Japanese boat. The Japanese then test biochemicals on Phil and Louie, they survived. Louie and Phil are then moved to a Prisoner of War camp in Yokohama. As soon as they land, Sasaki (the Japanese friend from USC) greets them as the camp leader.”The man turned, and Louie saw his face” (Hillenbrand 3003). Phil is separated from Louie and is transported to Ashio. When he landed he became friends with Gaga the Duck. Louie is declared dead on 28 May 1944. Gaga gets sexually abused and then killed by a Japanese guard. “Shithead opened his pants and violated the bird” (Hillenbrand 3559). Months later, Louie is moved to another POW camp called Omori. On arrival, Louie is beaten by the head guard Watanabe (the Bird). “There was a rush in the air, the

Reagan then turned towards a specific sub-audience whose loss and trauma were greater than anyone else – the families of the Challenger crew. Reagan began by acknowledging that “we cannot bear, as you do, the full impact of this tragedy”. He highly praised the courage and adventurous spirit of the crew members and defined their mission as a service to the country (“they served all of us”).

In chapter eight of Unbroken, the narrator follows the description of Super Man’s bombing of Wake by describing the dangers of war, specifically in the American Air Corps. After describing multiple instances of Louie’s friends who have died in combat and the very real risks that are associated with flying in combat, the narrator follows with this quote, emphasizing how unlikely rescue at sea was. Although “the military was dedicated to finding crash and ditching survivors” (90), “the improbability of rescue, coupled with the soaring rate of accidental crashes, created a terrible equation” (91). This quote, and much of this chapter, is a foreshadowing of the events that occur with Phil, Louie, and the rest of the crew of the Green Hornet. By

1.Coreanos explaining how they never saw certain aspects of Geraldos life is an eye opener for many. For some time this man was working for a restaurant and lived a double life as an illegal immigrant.

The Brief and Frightening Reign of Phil is a book about two countries that are in conflict with one another. One country, Inner Horner, exists inside of the other very large country, Outer Horner. Inner Horner is so small that only one of their citizens fit inside of the boarders at one time. The rest of the Inner Horner citizens are forced to stand around the outside of the country, inside Outer Horner on temporary resident zones, taking turns going in. Trouble arises when Inner Horner suddenly shrinks to an even smaller size, only allowing a fraction of a citizen in at one time.

Transition 2: The Skilled Veterans Corps were brave and selfless and the Fukushima firefighters shared these attributes.

In their interviews they described their experiences in the war. Many called them heroes for what they did but they didn't see themselves as that. I think these people were brave and accomplished things we never imagined. I think it also might have been hard for them to try to remember what they had done because they were in a war. I think these men were able to do the things that they did because they were trained well and they were willing to risk their lives the save everyone else's. I think the war taught them how hard you really have to fight some people in order to live and to help save others.

First the crew and I searched the wreckage and debris to find any remaining crash survivors. Then we will have to save the supplies that we can, and accept the loss of the others that were lost during the crash. Soon we will need to figure out what the emergency supplies will be used for. Once this is done all that the crew and I (Louis Zamperini) can do is hope and pray that we are rescued or find land soon. Hopefully American rescue can find us, at least before the Japanese do.
