The novel Unbroken, was a very fascinating book to read. I loved learning about the characters and how much they have overcame. Throughout everything Zapernini went through, he showed his love to his former enemies. His heart was transformed into loving, and forgiving the guards for what they have done to him and his friends. I definitely recommend this book to everyone who gets the chance to read it. This book has taught me so much on how blessed we are today. I learned that the United States was formerly captive. This country was not free, and so many hardships were obtained because of it. I am glad that people have fought for our freedom, and we are able to have the life we have today. I really enjoyed reading this book, it taught me many things about our History and nation.
