In Laura Hillenbrand’s book, Unbroken,  the book describes the adventure of Louie throughout World War II.

The story first starts in a small town of Torrance, California in 1917 but for most of the book it was focused on 1941-1945 during World WarII. Louie transforms from a kid that likes to play pranks in the neighborhood to a bombardier that flew in the heaviest plane at that time, the B-24.  He experienced many interesting things in the prison camps and on the way to prison camps. Read the book to find how louie and his crew survive the most extreme physical, mental, and psychological hardships that they face everyday.

On this page I first found the central idea that the author was trying to get to us, that was not all enemies are evil. I found evidence and quotes in the book to support this and also did some research on the most brutal Japanese unit during World War II.

 

 

Reading through the book, I noticed a repeating word, b-29.  I came to a conclusion that this was a central idea that the author wanted us to realize. It was that the b-29 was a huge advantage to the US during World War II.

 

 

On this page I first looked through my book for a very descriptive paragraph. I then saw two central ideas, The Japanese were treating the Pows poorly and that they don’t care about the international laws set to protect Pows.

 

 

 

 

I was done with my book. But when started to reread the book I got really interested with the bomber plane that they were flying, the b-24. There was a model on the book however my curiosity was not yet satisfied. I then did some research on google and got many specific data about the b-24 bomber.
