Book Club 11/10 Meeting

While reading the main theme that stays persistent with me is the theme or perseverance, and survival. From the beginning of the story the Thor was able to replay the trials and tribulations of Louis' life from his childhood through adulthood and through his survival of the war. Being able to perceive the story of his life through her writing is difficult because she needed to gather facts and write them in a chronological order that would make an interesting story for readers. Stories are what connects a reader to a writer. Strong character development in writing allows for readers to connect to the characters and creates an emotional attachment to them. While learning of the story of how young Louis began his struggles, it was interesting to see how he was able to come through and survive the war.
