Books Vs. Life

A few days ago in school, we read an article by the name of ,"Habits Of The Mind".  They weren't exactly what most people think of habits as. The were like thinking flexibly and being persistent. So I connected those "habits" to life.  When I say Books Vs. Life I mean books as in the paper we have recently read and other books that are non-fiction or historical fiction.  The book I'm comparing I haven't actually read I've just read summaries. I can infer what the book Is like and how I can compare the book to life.  "Good problem solvers stick to a problem until its completed".  Louis Zamperini will demonstrate that text which is from the "Habits Of The Mind" report.  The main character of this book demonstrates persistence, and if you think about other habits of the mind including: Thinking flexibly and striving for accuracy and precision.  He survived his horrible experience using the habits of the mind.  Without them he would of drowned in about 1 minute.  Therefore these habits are very important in all states of life.

The book we will talk about is": Unbroken: A World War II Story of Survival, Resilience, and Redemption

This book Is about a young lieutenant named Louis Zamperini.  As  a child Louis was a pretty juvenile kid.  He broke into houses, got into brawls, and was just generally bad kid. Before he joined the the armed forces he was an athlete in the olympics. His experience of crashing from a plane into the ocean changed his life forever.  I connected this book to my life because I see some kids that persist(one of the habits of the mind) through a lot in school.  They persist through homework and... school PERIOD.
