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.
Hey Evan I really like how your blog is set up where you gave me a summary then what you would do if you were there, also i like how there was no open ended question you had me answer, thanks pal. But i watched the video and it made me understand what you would do if you were in the book. Watching the trailer also gave a picture to your words.
ReplyDeletethanks joe. the trailer really help me understand what he was like as a person. sometimes you cant get the whole idea just from a book. also i would strongly suggest watching the full movie
DeleteThis book seems to be an inspiring tale about a person whos future was stripped away from him because of war. What are the motifs or themes of this book exactly? I also had a question on how his brother shaped him throughout his process of becoming a full fledged athlete. I also had a question on what other things he did that influenced him as a person.
ReplyDeletetheme is posted olay but ill tell you anyway. the theme is learning to forgive and move on with your life. his brother was he only family growing up before the war and he looked up to him like any younger brother would to an older one
DeleteI like the analysis of the main characters very good. Very good opinion gets really into it without to much fluff. It really details the plot twist. You were very descriptive about the book. Not to much summarizing and very into the book.
ReplyDeleteEvan I like the hook in the first sentence, your sense of humor is on point. Anyway I too can make a personal reference to Louie because I also have a reckless brother but she is a girl and she is kinda quiet and reserved. I dont really see many things that we learned in class in your post so please, just try to fix that, or else. but other than that it seems like a book and I think there is a move about it. I might have to watch or read it. k bye

ReplyDeleteYou ever look at a fan and think, wow that's not a fan that's an italian hoagie. That was me with your blog post man, Not a fan. your addition of (those are the people we fought in ww2) is obvious common sense we all know that bro. Looks like your blog ain't even long enough. Your sentence structure was confusing me more than women confuse men. The storyline of the book interests me though, but not because of Evan, but in spite of. Sorry I had to roast you like a marshmallow goodluck with your next blog
ReplyDeletei liked how you're able to predict and foreshadow something that ill happen in the book. how you think someone might die. something you can do is tell us a little bit on how you know he might die. I like your explanation about a who you would want to be f the story was true. That you didn't pick the main character but someone close to him who made a deep impact on his life.

ReplyDeleteto truly understand the main character you have to closely understand the people around him first. once you figure out what there mean you can understand why the main character act like they do
DeleteYou did a great job talking about the main character. I like the way you set up the entire blog. I wonder what his brother did to persuade him to focus everything on running. I also wonder how he felt when his career stopped short because of the war.
ReplyDeletein truth he was disappointed at first because he was a olympic athlet, that soon changed when his brother died in the was. that gave him new drive to focus all his effort in to this war.

ReplyDeleteAs some of the others stated above I agree that your blog was setup and summarized well. Much of what you summarized really gets me thinking of what will happen next. Also I liked the statement you made where you included yourself as if you were the character. keep up the great work!
ReplyDeleteits all about how you perceive the main character. the better you understand him the better you can express how you feel towards it. it also help that you like the book you are reading
