In the book, Unbroken, by Laura Hillenbrand, Louie Zamperini was majorly obsessed with vengeance throughout the end of the book that his life was consumed by the quest for it. Louie felt as if the Bird had stolen his dignity at the POW campsites, where he was beaten, humiliated, starved, and stripped of his powers of self-defense. Louie was overwhelmed with his anger that the only objective he sought was to get revenge on the Bird. In other words, Louie was angered about his loss of dignity at the POW campsite, he wanted to get revenge on the Bird by killing him, and how Louie eventually forgives the Bird for what he did to him.

It goes against the nature of the way women are portrayed in media, as we are known to be competitive or jealous, it’s a tactic used to subvert stereotypes. If they had not become friends, they most likely all would have perished on the island. “If you were my best friend, you’d trust me.” Adina took a step back. She’d never been anybody’s best friend before. “Okay, Mary Lou, I got your back,” (Bray, 221) portrays the trust that every girl has for the other’s, which contrasts the lack of friendship that the girls experienced before the plane crash. Being on a stranded island can really strengthen the sense of community, “The girls screamed with laughter. It was the first time some of them had laughed in days, and it felt good.” (Bray, 149) as they must rely on each other to survive.

The theme, "Redemption can change a person", is the most fit for the book Seventh Most Important Thing. All through the book, Arthur was trying to redeem himself.

The author of “Telling Tails” elaborates on how a good story should be by saying “…, a well-imagined story is organized around extraordinary human behavior and unexpected and startling events, which help illuminate the commonplace and the ordinary” (O’Brien). If a story does not afford the reader the luxury to imagine these extraordinary events in our lives, the reader can be easily bored and lose interest in wanting to know more. An example of a well-imagined story that captivates its reader can be deduced from “Boys and Girls.” In this story, the father introduces his female child as a hired man to a salesman who says, “Could of fooled me…I thought it was only a girl” (Kelly 305). The statement being used can tell the reader how a female was thought of as an unimportant person. The author does not mention the obvious but leaves the readers to the device of their imagination. O’Brien would deem this story as a good one as the author is successful in telling a well-imagined and organized story about extraordinary human event and the place women had in society.

One of the main themes I decided to focus on in this novel was the idea of hope vs hopelessness, including the personality characteristics of a person that lead them to optimism/pessimism, the idea of resilience and situations that it can be upheld in, and how hopeful or hopeless mindsets affect the individual’s actions and the actions of those around them. The different characters in A Fine Balance reflect different aspects of this theme. Dina is a character who, despite having hopeless moments (including while living with Nusswan, and after Rustom dies) generally attempts to fight against her situation and seek a better life. This in itself is much more reflective of a hopeful and resilient mindset- despite her understanding and acceptance of difficulty and grief, she has the ability to move on and seek happiness. Maneck, perhaps due to his youth and the wealthier family he was brought up in, has had a more sheltered life and preserves a lot of his hopeful mindset.
