Perseverance In Unbroken

My dad is determined to

So what’s funnier than faking a wolf attack? Well anything and everything, but apparently this idiot thought that it would be hilarious. So out of pure amusement, this phony started screaming at the top of his lungs “HELP! HELP! There are wolves circling my sheep!”

Civilized and savage behaviors are described as contrasted points of view, when in reality, aren’t that different. This is incessantly shown all throughout the book. “The man struck the shrewd blow he had purposely withheld for so long, and Buck crumpled up and went down, knocked utterly senseless. “He’s no slouch at dog breakin’, that’s wot I say,’ one of the men cried on the wall enthusiastically. ”(P11)

“When no one else cared” (line 8), describes how the lack of care from others did not prove to bring hindrance to his success. He kept pushing through the hard times even when there was no one to help him and when no one else cared. He was able to succeed alone, through determination, by keeping his dreams in

This is where Scout asks “Atticus, are we going to win it?” Which then Atticus responds “No, Honey”(pg.101) Here Atticus showed courage because he was “licked” before he started. He even knew he wasn’t going to win but he wouldn’t be able to look at his kids if he did not do this. This shows even more courage by Atticus admitting he was going to lose .

The pearl symbolized a reward in return of his son getting stung by the scorpion. It was a reward, but he was too greedy so it brought him bad luck. Furthermore, it was contained many life lessons like not to be greedy, to care about family more than anything, and to do anything for family, because family is everything. By being so greedy, only caring about his opinions, beating his wife for saying things he disagreed with, and not accepting any offers the jewelry stores were offering brought him bad luck. Also, by caring about his family 's future, not present life distracted him and made him into a bad man.

I felt useless and unwanted, like the scum on the bottom of his shoe. I gave up. The worst part of this was the fact that my coach did not even realize that his words and actions were destroying me. I felt embarrassed for something that I should have been proud of, because it was a great accomplishment to make Varsity.

Although the world has somewhat "gone soft" on cheating, a cheater still faces serious consequences if they cheat. In the case of sports cheating, the cheater can be fined, forced to sit out a specified number of games, kicked off the team, or in the most extreme cases, be banned from the sport altogether. Pete Rose was a famous example of a cheater who got banned after being caught. He was banned from professional baseball after the league found out he had been betting on games that his team was involved in.

Cross-country is especially brutal. Every day, every practice, I relinquish my body’s right to recovery in the hope that I will improve. However, I couldn’t put myself through dozens of injuries just for the sake of improvement. There was more to it. Running held a power over me that kept me from

It distresses me more than words could ever express to not be the mother I want myself to be already. I struggle to ignore the years of negative commentaries and self-doubt still engrained in my head, and I am enormously gratified to say I am not only surviving but also excelling. My 3.91 GPA, capability to take upwards of 24 credits a semester, and graduating a year premature is indicative of my hard work and triumphs. I have fought to conquer my inner doubts, my demons, my restraints, and have started to rebuild myself, my self-confidence, and even my voice. My son is my entire world, and my goal is to be the best mom, provider, coach, cheerleader, and role model I can be, and live up to the superhero role my son already sees me as.

As the war ended, Zamperini returned home to his family and friends, but lost his chance at ever competing in the Olympics, given his physical state. Zamperini was able to use his competitive edge as an athlete an apply this towards his will to live, which is clearly attributed to his survival at the end of the war. His mental toughness, and complete determination to not let the war dictate his life and actions is admirable, and can surely serve as a lesson in our own lives. Personally, I felt that traits including Zamperini’s resilience and survival can be attributed to my own life. On a much smaller scale, I have learned to use my resilience skills to bounce back from adversity, such as dealing with a family illness.

Everyone in the story had some kind of hope keeping them going forward. That shows how much hope can keep a person going forward. Hope plays an important role in everyone 's life. The theme of the book reminds me of the book

I remember my coach always reiterating "track is all mental, it 's not about how fast you are." Track is my outlet. Coming from a low income family and not living in the best neighborhoods, I should have been a victim of the harsh realities exposed to me but I did not because of track. Between school, practice, and clubs I had no time to be involved with the horrific street life of the South Central.

For some reason I could not put it all together in the competition setting and ended up not clearing any bar the two first meets in a row. I felt like giving up, I had put my heart and soul into this and was not getting anywhere near the results I had expected. Even though I was at my lowest point I knew I loved the sport far too much to ever quit,

Louis Zamperini is a well known hero for his deeds. As a child, Louie was unstoppable. When Louie was two years old and was sick, Louie couldn’t sit still and jumped out of his window, and he ran with policemen chasing after him. He was known as an one-man insurgency. As Louie grew older and joined the Army, Louie changed in some ways and stayed the same in others.
