    I genuinely did not expect to learn this much from the book Unbroken. The story of Louie Zamperini was unexpectedly much more understandable and relatable than I first imagined. Seeing the main character was a former war hero, I found it surprising I was able to connect to him as I happen to be fourteen. In my opinion, readers can easily compare similar situations in their life, regardless of their age. A point often overlooked, Louie is a true survivor. He was stranded forty-seven days on a crammed raft, as well as beaten without remorse at a prison camp for two years. Louie was stripped of his friends as he watched them either be transferred or slowly die. He witnessed many accounts of sexual abuse to innocent and helpless animals, as well…

    It follows Max around and characterizes Max as someone a dog would love, which tells the audience again that he’s not probably going to do something “bad”. The dog also hides at certain points and sniffs around a carcass later. It seems a bit jumpy and scared, so we can tell something bad has happened to either it or Max. While the puppy was with the animal carcass, Max was preserving gasoline or fuel, whatever was coming out of the big truck. That also tells the audience that this isn’t a world with resources readily available, and that it’s likely in the future. He saves the gas by absorbing some of it in a towel and filling plates (or things that can hold something with a curve in them). The importance of them is emphasized when the antagonist on the bike with an orange mohawk rips an arrow from his body but Max looks and ignores it, continuing to preserve the gas. He definitely doesn’t seem afraid of them or what they might do, but that doesn’t matter as much because then they leave. Before that, Max was surveying the site in a weary way; that tells us that his world has likely been how it is shown for a long time. Later on, Max opens the door of the truck and a body falls out, which doesn’t interest him so…

    In the 19th century, male chauvinism was the dominant social idea in America. In the domestic environment, women had to obey to men. Women could not violate what men asked them to do and this oppressive environment had important impacts on how women perceived themselves and their roles in society. It was very unfair to all the women at that period of history. Nevertheless, with the gradual emergence of feminism, some women began to advocate the gender equality and resist the male chauvinism. “The Yellow Wallpaper” by Charlotte Perkins Gilman is a classic feminism masterpiece. It was a story about a married woman who suffered from mental depression and…
