UNBROKEN by Laura Hillenbrand

Theme: The main theme of this book is Louie’s resilience and positive mindset towards hope and survival. As they were stranded on the raft,  Louies kept encouraging his crewmates that they will survive, ignoring all the negative comments, he still kept his mindset towards hope. During concentration camp, no matter how much pain and suffering Louie experienced, he all made it through with his resilience. And yes, he did it, he made it all the way back home reunited with his family.

Why the book is GREAT: The author uses precise and realistic ways to express the book, to an extent where you can almost feel what is happening. The book has many thrillers and climaxes, filled with hundreds of real history photos to make the best out of it.

During this unit, I learned that reading a book takes patience and time, even though the fun and juicy part doesn’t come out at the start, doesn’t mean this book is unworthy to read about. Sometimes it just takes a little bit of time to get to know the book.
