Unbroken Book Review

Finally, her use of dialog in the second paragraph gives that part of the text a flashback and interview feel. It is show in ““Something went on inside of me,” he said later. “I don’t know what it was.”” and makes the reader believe that Louie later looks back at the time as important and as a turning point in his past. This also ties in human spirit always pushing through because from this point on Louie’s attitude changes to the Bird won’t beat me now or ever.

The book Orchid of the Bayou was eye opening. Cathryn (Kitty) Hoffpauir Fischer did a good job of being honest, which really allowed the reader to get a better understanding of what being deaf in this time period meant. Her writing really allowed me to see the different struggles that deaf children had to face, and how these struggles were overcome by Kitty. This book taught me many things about Deaf culture.

Have you ever been through a life changing experience? People can use their determination and taking risks to change their countries like I Never Had it Made by Jackie Robinson, Warriors Don’t Cry, by Melba Pattillo Beals, and “The Father of Chinese Aviation” by Rebecca Maskal.

I have been an outstanding book called I Survived the Shark Attacks Of 1916. This book is written in Third person…Limited Omniscient. The author Laron Tarshis is telling a story in Chet’s point of view. The author’s attitude when she writes is very dynamic because it has a lot of action in the book which makes this book so hard to put down.

I recently read your book Unbroken. I really enjoyed it. I also watched the movie made from your book too. The thing is, I loved your book way more than the movie, because, even though the movie was good, you didn’t get to know the feelings and thoughts of the characters. Your book was filled with very descriptive feelings of Louie and some of the other characters and I really enjoyed it because it felt like I was there, in the war camp with Louie. Have you ever been to Japan? My cousin works for the Navy in Japan and I hope to visit her soon. From your book Unbroken, I learned many valuable life lessons. Just a few are to always be content with what you have, never underestimate friendship, and never give up.

In this chapter of Undaunted Courage, Stephen Ambrose tells the events and achievements made by Thomas Jefferson in 1801. Ambrose’s purpose for writing this text is to inform and persuade the readers. He uses several opinions to persuade readers to think highly of Thomas Jefferson and a lot of facts to inform about his achievements.

My experience when reading this book was pretty astonishing based on what Barbara Ehrenreich went through as she was in different places featured on the book. She was on a

Louis Zamperini, was born to Louise and Anthony Zamperini on January 26, 1917 in Olean, New York. His father, Anthony, worked as a coal miner and a boxer, but then that soon changed and he began to work construction. His mother, Louise, worked as a stay at home mother. Anthony and Louise married when Louise was sixteen and she had Louis at age eighteen. They were just trying to make it in the United States as immigrants from Italy.

I chose to read “Champion Of The World” by Maya Angelou. This is the story of a great accomplishment made by a man who did not only want to win, but needed to for the sake of his people. It grabbed my attention because he was risking himself in the selfless intension of helping his people as a whole. This courageous man’s name was Joe Louis; and he was fighting to prove that his people were stronger than they received credit for. Throughout “Champion Of The World,” hope was very prevalent but it didn’t fully show what hope can truly do.

The documentary God Grew Tired of Us highlighted many of the cultural changes and personal struggles that the three main characters, John, Daniel, and Panther, had to adjust to after their journey to the United States. The film brought out many different emotions as I watched, and it made me think about the struggles of the Lost Boys on a very personal level. I wondered about how difficult it must have been for my maternal grandmother to adjust to life in the United States after emigrating from Yugoslavia in 1952, and how many of the same challenges that she may have faced. I found myself particularly moved when the boys were told that they should not travel in groups because the local businesses were intimidated by their presence. This made me again think of my grandmother and how staying close to family at all times was so important.

The first time I read this book and immediately the thoughts came to my mind that this book is beautiful and the best. The book arrived and I began to read few pages, and I was not able to put it down. For the next few days, this book followed me everywhere I went. Surprisingly, everyone I talked to knew about this book. This book made me look at my values and beliefs. At a young age, Katie has adopted 13 young girls and made a loving home in Uganda that most of young people will not understand the true meaning of it. Her story was unbelievable to me but after few pages, I was more into it. There is so much greed in our society but this book gives us hope that humanity exists. Katie's story is beautiful and makes us think that how we could

Gerda Weissmann started this three hundred fifty mile trip in the winter. She stayed strong even when her three friends passed away during the march. Gerda Weissmann looked after these one hundred twenty young women after they were abandoned in an empty factory, until they were liberated by Kurt Klein.

Another book that we have to read together as a class, ugh. Yes, I have the same mentality as all teenagers being told what they have to read in high school. Class readings were never a passion of mine, but Strength in What Remains was something different. The story of a young man escaping genocide, boarding a plane, and becoming a successful person in New York City astonished me. Quite a few thoughts ran through my mind while reading the book. Some of them included: “How could he just leave everything he had, including his family and do this? Surely he had people who helped him through this.” Which made me wonder; if he had people in his life which made a difference, are there inspirational people who pushed and influenced me? Little

The reason I chose this book is because it is about a different culture and a different life than of anyone I know.
