There are a lot of similarities with the book and the short stories that we read together in class like Initiation. The theme for the short stories is Identity, Love, and Truth. The three of these characteristics are both in the story Unbroken. In this journal I will go over identity love and truth will be explaining how these characteristics are similar in both stories.
Lets start of by talking about Identity. In the book Initiation by Sylvia Plath there is a lot of accepting and not accepting certain people for their looks and where they come from.

But they would be taking the credit for a Zimbabwe culture tradition. In Unbroken Louis and his plane copilots and other crewmembers accepted the truth they may die. There is a lot of accepting and being at piece with the outcomes in both stories.
There are a lot of similarities between the book Unbroken and some short stories read in class. They both had to do with Identity Love and Truth, and that there’s so much more people don’t see or get. I believe that I deserve a 10 on this journal because I fixed the mistakes you told me to.
