I am currently reading Unbroken  By Laura Hillenbrand. So far I have learned about how the main character's (Louis Zamperini) childhood. He is a young boy who doesn't really know his place in society. He drinks alcohol beverages and smokes cigarettes. On top of being to young to do those things, he is getting into trouble with the police and is fighting kids too. His mom cares so much for him. His mother is a Spanish speaking lady who is a great cook and a great mom. Louis, was a talented boy. Hes fast. Running from all his troubles made him a fast runner. It also created a toughness that set him apart from the rest. Since I have seen the movie I've seen that when the other competitors are tired and worn down he is just getting started. He pushes harder and runs faster than anyone who is running. Louis's brother saw how fast his brother and he persuaded him to try out for the track team. The thing that made me laugh was when he tried out for the team he was the only one who wasn't wearing track shoes with spikes. He made the team.
     I like this book so far. It has shown to me that everyone has talents. You need to use them for good not for bad. Louis at first started using his speed to run from the police. Now he is using it for track and to achieve things. Its different than other books. Usually, it takes a while for me to get into books, but Unbroken is intrusting from the beginning in how they show his struggles through his childhood. So far this is been better than the movie and one of the best books I have read lately.
