The book Unbroken, by Laura Hillenbrand, talks about the true story of Louis Zamperini, an Olympic runner and also a World War II veteran. It tells the journey from his childhood to surviving a plane crash being trapped into the ocean for 47 days and being captured by the Japanese Navy becoming a POW. In the POW camp, he endures incredible hardships, and physical and psychological abuse, and how his perseverance saved him and let him come through this terrible and unbelievable journey.

On this page, I wrote the central idea of the book Unbroken: Belief and faith are very powerful and essential for overcoming challenges and adversity. This is a central idea I saw that runs throughout the book.

On this page of my notebook, I wrote down the theme that I saw reading this book. When facing challenges, you will need the power of resilience and perseverance to overcome them. 

In this page, it talks about the causes and effects happening in the book Unbroken. I can see that all the causes and effects are connected to each other. It started with Louis showing his talents in running. A very important cause that changed Louis’s life was when he enlisted in the U.S. Army and became a bombardier where all the bad things started happening to him.

On Day 5, we did a TownHall presentation and did a should statement with evidence. Our should statement was: People should have faith in themself’s regardless of oppression or frustration. We find our evidence on page 114 when Louis was trying to distract Mac and Phil from thinking about the crash.

In conclusion, The book Unbroken takes you through the journey of the extraordinary resilience and determination Louis Zamperini faced and how he overcame it. If you are interested in this topic, go watch the movie or the book for more details!
