Unbroken is a book by Laura Hillenbrand that explores a famous Olympian runner, Louis Zamperini (Nicknamed Lou or Louie)’s journey from airman to castaway to captive in Japan, and he finally returned home safely and started a new life. The theme is that Forgiveness and survival usually encourage us to propel forward and it creates more chances for success.
You should definitely read this book because this book sends out key philosophies of life, for instance, “A moment’s pain is worth a life time’s glory”, or “If you can take it, you can make it”, or “The only way to propel forward is forgiveness, not revenge”. It also encourages us to be like Louie, surviving under harsh conditions, never give up even if there is only a small chance for survival, and generously forgiving others.
In this unit, I understood how to take notes properly, how to grasp the theme, and how to reread and make connections.
