I think that writing the introduction of an essay is something I am really comfortable with because It is where I get all my ideas and is usually the part that is easier for me.

# data[].attributes.body
I feel like I'm kind of comfortable writing an introduction because its a great start to writing the essay as background information and your theme.

My theme was to go out and try something new because you might be able to find some hidden talents just like how louie discovered his talent for track and field.

# data[].attributes.body
My theme was about growth and how it doesn't come in a straight line. I supported this by using characters as symbols for moments of weakness and panic.

# data[].attributes.body
I am a bit uncomfortable with writing in an intro. I struggle with thinking of ideas at the beginning.

# data[].attributes.body
My theme is about friendship and trust. I see this theme happening everywhere from the beginning to where I'm at now.

Im mostly comfortable but sometimes I prefer to listen to the audio book but I also tend to zone out while listening so sometimes I have to re-listen.

My theme is going to be on perseverance, how you have to keep on trying your best to do something. Louie had to try his best to stay alive.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that hope has helped people in the investigation camps to not give up and to try and stay alive. I also think that people in Torrance needed to feel like the people who disappeared were still alive because they didn't want to cope with the pain.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that hope has helped all the characters in the story one way or another whether it was for survival in Ofuna or heartbreak from family members.

I think hope has helped them because without hope you basically don't have anything to live for or set your life for. But with the hope they had they actually had purpose.

# data[].attributes.body
I think they were able to keep their will and survive by relying on each other as they carried out these elaborate plans which got them information that Japan was losing.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that they are going to survive mostly by luck, I think that even if they do exactly what they should or try to escape and run away, there is a part that is going to be luck and a miracle basically.

I think that hope has helped the people in Torrance by allowing them to believe in their children's survival. It has let them keep believing without it they could feel lost.

# data[].attributes.body
The characters were able to keep on surviving because they never gave up. What I mean from that is that they never lost there hope and always thought about their future.

I think that the introduction part of an essay is the easiest part and definetley the part I am most comfortable with. The part that is the most challenging is coming up with a good thesis. I use the funnel method for my introduction and concluision of my essay which I really like.

I have not picked a theme that I will for sure write about but one that I am thinking about doing is not giving up. I see this through him taking all the beatings from the Bird and his perserverance when they were floating on the raft.

# data[].attributes.body
I think they were able to keep the will to keep going by thinking about their family back home. I also think the men helped each other out and kept pushing each other.

# data[].attributes.body
I think Harris being at Ofuna gave Louis hope. It showed that they kept him alive for a reason and might do the same for others. It was also probably helpful for him to see an old friend.

I hate writing introductions. I never know what exactly to say.

I think that I will do the theme about not giving up. The book was really based around not giving up.

How do you think Louie kept his hopes up?

# data[].attributes.body
I really dislike writing intros. I never know how to word what I want to say

# data[].attributes.body
I want to use the theme hope. I am using it because without hope Louie wouldn’t have made it has far as he did

# data[].attributes.body
I think that Louie keep going because he was thinking about his family. He found hope in the smallest things

# data[].attributes.body
I think that without hope everyone in Torrance would have died. Without think about there families and seeing them again they would have given up.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that Louie would have given up on getting out and living.
