A story of one of these POWs is of Louie Zamperini. Louie enlisted in the war on the Western Front

While boasting may temporarily satisfies various insecurities, it leaves no lasting impression on the crowd who hears it

Yossarian is not a classic hero because, even though he performs heroic actions such as standing for the weak, having a bigger enemy, and overcoming a problem that tests his morals, ultimately he does not fit the stereotype of a hero, thus changing our perceptions of heroism.

Instead, he wants to get out of it because he hates the idea of war and people trying

Furthermore, I believe it is rather difficult to differentiate culture and change in the dynamics at Sola Gratia because they are
