The book I started to read was the unbroken. This book is about Louie Zamperini a reckless young man with a brother. His brother then persuades him to channel his focus on sport specifically running. It work in 1936 he goes to the Olympics in berlin. But the Second World War stops his career. This story so far for me is a little bit too good to be true. So what I think might happen it tragic for him like life changing. I predict that he will get capture by either the Germans or the Japanese. (those are the people we fought in ww2) this will then change himself as a character and turn him into a leader. But before he gets capture he will lose all his friends he made in the army. This will come back later to haunt him and he will question why he was the only one to survive. Before he can make it back home he will be killed by some tragic accident that saves him from this guilt he feels. Or he will learn in his final moments of life what he felt like he did basically the theme of the story will be reviled. Anyway the heroic thing that he will do is like saving someone from the axis wither it be by helping them get to safety or by him talking the blame for someone to save everyone from dying. Something super cool because that’s how I feel the book will portray him as.

            if I were to but myself in the story as a character I would want to be one of his close friends that I predict will tragically die. To me the main character of the story is someone that I could relate to and get along with very easily. I would either want to be a friend he knew outside of the war before it started and be the kind of friends that would sign up together. Or the other kind of friend would be we meet in the army and at first we hate each other but then one or us stick our neck out to the other and from their we become good friends. What I would say is one of those classic lines like “I got this go on without me” and I would be saving him and giving him a chance of no to get caught by the axis forces. It will seem like I died trying to save my friend, but in reality I was then capture by axis. We will later unit at a camp where they held POWS and I will have been there when he gets dropped off. I will already have a plan in development to escape this camp and he aggress with me but then decide it has to be as many as we can get out, rather than us two. This is then when he saves me when trying to escape and unfortunately this is for real and the main character is dead. And that is how the story ends.
