The Last Leaf Characteristics

Persistence means to not give up and keep trying, and both Louie the main character and other characters demonstrate this. “Unbroken” is about Louis Zamperini an olympic runner who joins the military and is shot down and stranded along with two other crewmates. The first reason as to how this theme is shown is that Louie survived forty seven days on a raft in the middle of the ocean. After Louis was shot down, he was stranded in the middle of the Pacific ocean on a raft. Instead of freaking out like one of his crewmates he stayed calm. One quote that proves this is when Mac, one of Louis’s stranded crewmate says “We are going to die!” (Hillenbrand 128). After Mac says this Louis calmed him down and assured that they would stay alive. To add on to this, instead of giving up like other may have done Louie resorts to whatever means possible to live.

In my personal life I have displayed the quality of determination. During my young adolescent years I was the victim of bullying. Not only did I receive this unfair treatment from my fellow students, but I also received it from an unexpected source- a teacher. After three years of harassment, things finally improved. I went to high school and learned how to defend myself. I gained my self- confidence back and was able to use my experience to help others. During my sophomore year in high-school, I helped launch two clubs. One club was for a free Tibet and the other to help stop bullying in our school and area. Being determined helped me move on from what happened to me and I was able to turn it into something positive that could help others.
