Louis Zamperini Research Paper
Louis Zamperini was the son of Italian immigrants, was born in Olean, New York on January 26, 1917. By the time Louis could walk, he was already hurdling over fauna and furniture. After the age of 2 they moved to California for his father’s job. Anytime he was sat down in a chair he would bolt.
Louis could not sit still to save his life, always getting into trouble, then ran away. When he got older he went off into the Olympics and was one of the fastest runners there. He never gave up on what he wanted whether that be running or stealing, and so he would run as fast as he could and would run as far as he could. The fact that he never gave up on running helped him stay alive throughout the course of his life. Louis being so determined by
what he wanted helped him survive through the worst that anyone could go through.
Louis’ brother Pete was called the “perfect” one but in reality he never got caught, so technically we could call him the sly one. And though others did not approve of Louis’ choices, Pete would but wouldn’t at the same time. You’d see Pete from time to time running with his younger brother down the street with the stolen goods in their grimy little hands. Or their feet dangling on the branch that they would be sitting on wreaking havoc.
Everyone makes mistakes and does things that aren’t always good. But just because you can not see it does not make that person perfect or flawless. But if you were partners in crime with the “perfect one” then you could use that to your advantage and hide beneath their shadow.
