Unbroken By Laura Hillenbrand: Literary Analysis

In literature, the theme of many stories about WWII is surviving while under brutal conditions. In the book Unbroken by Laura Hillenbrand, some US soldiers were stranded on a raft that could barely hold itself together. They had life threatening conditions like no food, water, or shelter that left only Louis Zaporelli to survive the sea.
The stranded soldiers were lost in the middle of the ocean. Their lips were so swollen they were pretty much touching their noses. They were so skinny you could see their bones protruding out of their skin. Then they were captured by Japanese soldiers. One of the people captured was once a US Olympian runner and he was forced to race a japanese soldier. He was so malnourished he could barely walk let alone
run. Then they mocked him because he lost to the japanese soldier.
The story Anne Frank was brutal, because people were forced out of their homes with only a few of their belongings. The Anne frank family was forced out of their home and into hiding. They had to hide in a secret annex in the attic of the office building their dad worked in. They had to overcome many trials like having to stay quiet during the day to avoid discovery. They also had to get through sicknesses without the doctor. They also had to maintain their nutrition with limited food available.
In both stories they took place in WWII, and in both stories they had to face many hardships. They also were forced into many situations that they didn't do anything to deserve. Like in Anne Frank they were forced out of their house and in Unbroken the us soldiers were forced to survive on a raft that could barely hold itself up.
