Unbroken, a book written about Louie Zamperini, and his story of his resilience in the chaos of World War II,

written by an author, Laura Hillenbrand, who had been struck by chronic fatigue syndrome from nowhere.

A tale that dances through Louie’s life before and after World War II,

a story that soars through his path as an Olympian, where this boy, Louie, is a natural.

The story, with the shocking dark turn of Louie becoming a castaway,

To prisoner of war for the Japanese.

Resilience is spoken of, resilience is his only weapon to carry him out alive,

For resilience carries you out of the bleak, and through the chaos.

Especially the chaos of World War II.

World War II was chaotic, a mess, like a junkyard–and the world was dumped in it.

The Japanese prison camps were absolutely brutal, teetering you over death.

Yet, it’s nothing more than the result of being unable to be resilient, the brutality nothing more than formed by others, a product.

Yet, those same others, can be the forces to help you survive.

 

The notes in the Big Ideas page first begin with random suggestions, looking into the earliest parts of the story and trying to deduct what’s going on. Later on then, it centers, revolving around themes and central ideas regarding chaos and resilience.

The pieces of narrative and informative text display how certain things influence others, just like how Japan’s military culture caused for the cruelty of the prison camps. It displays parts of resilience, contrasting with parts where there isn’t resilience at all. The text also describes the chaos of World War II and the difficulties. It also goes into how some interactions with people, can uplift everything.

This speaks for itself (Except for the Central Idea #2 on the first page here, because that’s not a central idea I mentioned). The others are fairly self-explanatory.

Goes directly into the cruelty being a product of the culture. What the Americans endured were, as seen, is just a product of how the Japanese millitary were treated.
