Who are you today? How did you get to where you are? Was it a terrible experience affected you to become the person you are now? Maybe it was your family or friends. Or how about your environment? Shoot, it could be all of the above!

Unbroken by Laura Hillenbrand is an astonishing story that starts off with Louie Zamperini, an Olympian who bravely fights in World War II, when his plane crashes into the ocean and miraculously survives with 2 other people. When all hope was lost, they spotted land and paddled towards it. As they went closer, it turned out to be a Japanese ship. They were taken to a POW (Prisoners of War) camp and suffered tremendously by the hand of a man nicknamed “The Bird” and only survived by the grace of God. When the war was over and Louie went home, he suffered Post Traumatic Stress and flashbacks. He “resolved” it with drinking but sobered up when he found God. After that, he dedicated the rest of his life to God and helping others. Louie, the one who fought in the war, was starved, and beaten, was the one who outlived everyone, dieing in 2014 at the age of 97. His life was truly a miracle.

Tim O’Brien discusses the characteristics of a true war story and how to distinguish a true story from the fake or made-up one in his essay, “How to Tell a True War Story.” He criticizes many aspects of storytelling and mentions the behavior of a true story. In addition to O’Brien’s theory on how to distinguish true vs false, Malcolm Gladwell also helps in differentiating the two by discussing the story about Bernie Goetz in his essay “The Power of Context.” Both the authors point out the main characteristics that needs to be noted in order to understand the difference between fact/ truth and belief/ cooked up story.

Change, hope, and justice, are all things North Korean defectors, including Human Rights activist Hyeonseo Lee, wish for in the harshly governed country of North Korea. Many people know about the story of Hyeonseo’s escape from the unethical dictatorship of the Kims. But she was so much more.

Through this, she is showing her defiance publicly towards North Korea, when just a little over a decade before, she was expressing absolute loyalty and respect towards the Kims.
