This was one of the best expository essays I think I've written this year. The essay is made after I finished reading the excellent story of Louie Zamperini, a Olympian runner who left to be in the military during world war II and was captured by the Japanese after he was lost in sea.  The story revolves around his survival tasks and what he did while in his time as a prisoner of war, what he saw, and how it slowly affected him physically and mentally. Once he had returned from Japan, him and many other ex-prisoner-of-war had long hated the Japanese, but when Louie turned to Christianity he found peace and soon left to Japan to make peace with all his Japanese tormentors except the worst one who refused to meet Louie, because he had hurt Louie the most out of any prisoner of war. My essay goes more into his worst tormentor, Watanabe, and more about the past and the future after being a prisoner of war.

​

This project had been one of my best essay works and shown my growth in writing and research into one essay, which allowed me to write such an excellent essay about the amazing story of Zamperini, and put my point of view of why I believe that Zamperini had forgiven Watanabe, and the evidence I've gathered to prove why my explanation and point of view is most likely correct. 

​

But this was probably one of my most revised and researched topic in which I went back to read parts of the story and researched extra information not listed the book, which helped the final outcome of the essay to turn it into the essay it is now. This topic was a very important message that spread throughout the book and the reason the author had chosen to write the story, because it gave lots of information about past prisoner of wars, and especially a special one that had turned to make peace with all his Japanese tormentors.
