A hero does not fight for himself, this is a story about a man who stopped at nothing to save people. Louie Zamperini is a hero because of all the people he saved in the Labor Camp Rebellion in Tokyo, Japan. Louise also was an Olympian that set a standard for track and field.

For someone to be a hero they have to voluntarily conduct a service to one or more people. This service must involve risk to physical comfort, social stature, or quality of life, and they can’t expect any reward for doing this. The point of this essay is to determine if Louie Zamperini is a hero. In the beginning of his story he wasn’t a hero, He was “angry and rebellious. He had a taste for alcohol and a penchant for fighting”. As the story goes on though the reader sees him shot out of his plane and selflessly save to people, although they ended up dying that is a heroic thing to do.

Everyone has someone that they look up to or idolize. Depending on the person, there are multiple reasons for why they look up their idol, but those reasons are not always what their idol is actually about. Frequently, people look up to someone famous.

The novel portrays Charles Lindbergh differently from the Charles Lindbergh many have come to know and idolize.

It is possible that the kidnapping was a
