Unbroken is the biography of Louis Zamperini, a former track star, how he had survived a plane crash, and spent 47 days drifting on a raft. Louis then spent more than 2 and a half years as a Prisoner of War, also known as a POW. Louis Zamperini was born on January 26, 1917.
Pete was Louie’s older brother. Pete influenced Louie to run. Louie broke records after records. Louis went to the 1936 Olympic Games trials. He won the race. At the actual Olympics Louie didn't win. He aimed to win gold in the 1940 Olympics in Tokyo, later Tokyo withdrew from hosting the Olympics. By then Louis then wanted to work in the Air Force.

Louis, Mac, and Phil made it to two rafts. They drifted a sea for 47 days living off of whatever they could find. Mac died on day 34. Finally, Louie and Phil drifted all the way to an island. They were fed and then sent to a camp. The Japanese treated them so badly and gave them little food. Louis got moved to many POW camps. He prayed and did anything to survive, including stealing. Finally, on August 26 the POWs were free at last.
In the book Unbroken, I chose chapter Thirst (Page 112). This chapter is relevant to this world because Louie, Phil, and Mac are creative. They think of different ways to catch food. They caught a bird and used it as bait. Louie put it on a hook and he caught a fish. It was their first food in days on the raft. This new method to catch food helped them further in their journey. Today, people use many different ways to solve problems. People can even use such little things, like birds to catch food too.
I learned that the 1940s was a challenging year for people in United States especially with World War ll and the Bombing of Pearl Harbour. I also learned about the life of a POW and how it was hard for them. POWs would do anything for food. Besides the war, I learned about Louis Zamperini, and his running career which ended. Other people can use the information in the book to learn more about, POWs, Louis Zamperini, or World War ll. The person or yourself can use it for a report if they wanted
