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. The first thing I learned was

In the book, Unbroken, and the movie has many similarities and differences. There are three evident differences that has been shown between the two. The first variation is the dead bodies the Japanese fighters shot. In the text, it says Louie saw the two dead bodies of Phil and Mac, after the plane attacked them.

The Outsiders is a movie and a book written by S.E. Hinton. It takes place around the 1960’s with it’s main character named Ponyboy Curtis and his adventure with Johnny when he kills Bob. The two then go out of the city when they realized the police will be after them and hid in a church at the top of a hill in the country. Johnny decides later on to come back home, but a fire happens in the church with children inside. Both Johnny and Ponyboy go inside to save them, but Johnny is hurt badly while Ponyboy gets knocked out by Dally because of a fire that was on him. They were both taken to the hospital, but Johnny was the one who actually stayed. Later on, Johnny dies with Dally and Ponyboy with him. Dally goes crazy and soon kills himself by a cop and Ponyboy then writes a story of what happen which apparently is the book/movie. Though the book and the movie come from the same idea, they are both still very different.
It’s not difficult to figure out that almost every book with a movie made from the book will have some differences and some similarities. I can almost promise anyone that they will probably never find a book with a movie that is the exact same. This essay will point out some differences and similarities between the book and the movie “Ordinary People”.
When authors write about World War II, most set their stories in Adolf Hitler’s Third Reich, but few would give a moment of thought to the atrocities perpetrated by the Imperial Japanese Army in East Asia and the Pacific region. However, Laura Hillenbrand has brought us this heavily neglected side of the tragedy. By following the vicissitudes of a USAAF lieutenant named Louis Zamperini in her bestseller “Unbroken”, she pays tribute to all ex-POWs and soldiers that lost their lives on the Asian battlefield.
When Louie was young, he was a rebel, stealing liquor, and being the towns arch nemesis. Now Louie is a man, competing in the Olympics, and fighting for his country and even for his own life.

Every Time Louie had been caught by the police and had been brought home to his parents, Louie’s dad would hit him with a belt hoping that would teach him not to do it again. Unbroken, the book written by Laura Hillenbrand, focuses on parts of Louie Zamperini’s life who was a risk taker, and optimistic.
Louie Zamperini was a young boy who lived in Torrance, California, living his early years with a troublesome attitude. His childhood was filled with hatred, anxiety, sorrow, but in the end, it all led to happiness. Louie was a young man competing as an olympic athlete, until he went off to war as a bombardier. As he and his crew members flew a B-24 over the Pacific ocean, his life had turned upside down. The character traits of optimism and resourcefulness that Louie demonstrates in Unbroken written by Laura Hillenbrand, helped him get through the hardest times in life.
“Unbroken” is an amazing book and I would tell people to defiantly read this book. Not only does it tell you every detail you’d want to know but it also gives you visuals of what everything would look like just from a few paragraphs. Louie Zamperini is an inspiration to
When a book is made into a movie, everyone has contrasting opinions as to which was superior. Although, more times than not, you will hear that the book was better. I’ve heard it a million times; you’ve heard it a million times. In the case of I am Legend, however, the two are so drastically different that it is difficult to even compare them. In the book, there are vampires attempting to lead Robert Neville to his inevitable doom, while in the movie there are zombies.
