Post 13

Hello and welcome to the last post of 2014. Thank God! These are really bothersome and always take some serious creativity and brainpower to make, so I hate having to use it on these. And finals are coming up, so I have to study for those too (my motto: Pain is temporary, GPA is forever). Anyways, back to the blog. So yeah, Post 13.

 For Post 13 I'm doing final thoughts on my book Unbroken by Laura Hillenbrand. Overall it was a great story with several possible meanings that you could find. You could say the meaning was that no matter how much a human can suffer, they can still forgive. Or that you shouldn't crash planes into oceans. Or that running is a sport (I'm on the fence on this one). But overall, Unbroken shows that inside of us all there is a victor, victim, champion, prisoner, and a forgiver (at the end Louie forgives the Bird, the prison guard who beat and abused him). So the book sends several messages, but this one stands out the most.

 Well, that's it for this semester. Thanks for all the views, putting up with bad posts and delays, and having to read period. Thanks for reading, and Happy Holid

ays!

Post 12

Hello and welcome back to my blog! For my 12th post, I'm going to write a letter to the author of Unbroken, Laura Hillenbrand. This will be kind of like Post 10, but it won't be making fun of anyone.

 Dear Mrs. Hillenbrand,

I really like what you did with the story of Louie Zamperini and the story you made it into. The book really took a good look at Louie's childhood and how his bad tendencies eventually helped him in life. Also, presenting the Bird's (the Bird is the Japanese prison guard who physically and psychologically abuses Louie while he is a POW) side of the story and his post-war experiences gives us a different angle on Louie's prison camp experience. And the added information on the plane that Louie flies, the B-24 bomber, adds perspective to the conditions he flew in. All in all, thanks for a great book.

 That's all for this week guys. Come back next week for Post 13, and happy (soon to be) Holidays!
