 Louie Zamperini decided to join the air force. Flash forward he and his crew, including pilot "Phil" Phillips, have a harrowing air battle in their plane, the Super Man. But Phil's pilot skills and Louie's ingenuity enables them to land the plane, even though it's riddled with over five hundred bullet holes.
With the Super Man succumbed to its kryptonite, the men are transferred to the Green Hornet—a less-reliable plane, the Hornet is shot down over the Pacific. Only three men survive: Louie, Phil, and Mac. Phil wrestles with his guilt about crashing, Mac kind of goes nuts, and Louie wrestles a shark from the ocean with his bare hands and eats its liver. Unfortunately, Mac dies at sea. What I predict might happen now is that they are going to stay out at sea for a very long time to the point where everyone else dies except Louie and he is going to the wash ashore on the enemies land. At first he will not know where he is and he will wonder around and when he finds the Japanese or German people he will try to find someone to hide but no matter how hard he looks no one will help him. They will eventually report him to the police or military. He will then get captured by the enemy and get either shot or sent to a camp. If he is sent to a camp he will try to escape multiple times and will wind up saving someone else. He will befriend some people in the story that reflect him and how he wanted things to happen. He will try to save them by standing up for what they did and taking the bullet for what they did. This will be how the story comes to an end he will winded up having all his guilt cleared once he stands up for that one person and it will make it honorable for him to die.




Louie survives the the ocean and winds up getting captured thrown into to a pow camp the bird is a serious guard who is cruel to louie and others for example the bird punches Louie 200 times and makes him clean a pigsty with his bare hands. He survives the war and returns back home and marrys his love at first sight Cynthia. They have a daughter and then Louie developed a drinking problem. Louie is haunted by the horrors of war and alcohol helps him with his situation. The problems he then face are failure to find a career and to exact revenge on the bird. Everything changes when his wife discovers him trying to shake their new baby.

The problem in the story was the main character Louie has to go to war and fight the Japanese’s. While he was on an fight mission he got shot down. That is problem one. Problems two is that the Japanese and have to get sent to a camp capture him. The third problem is that once the war is over he cannot forget what happen and what he had to do in the war. What friends he lost and the hardships he endured from that hatred the developed strong negative feeling for the bird. The bird is a Japanese pow office that is a very inhuman one. The theme of this story is a very straightforward one but at the same time it is not one to taken lightly. The theme of the story I learn to forgive. The main the theme very prevalent once Louie came back from the war and started drinking and developing a strong hatred towards the Bird and when he was dedicated on killing him that’s when I figure out that forgiving was the main theme. The way to resolve the hatred to someone and put you life at peace is to forgive them. No matter what they did. That is how you move on with your life. Louie was in shamble when he came back from the war it was only when he learned to forgive is when he stopped drinking and he found a career and learn that there is more to living than just revenge.
