He was on the list of the worst offenders of war-crimes, he vowed to not be taken in. he elided the Japanese for long enough, though sentenced to death nobody could find him. The haunting Watanabe had given Louie was still all around him. In his sleep many chants from The Bird would shout at him, waking him, forcing him to think of all the people he knew who had died at the hands of the infernal guard. Louie however wouldn’t let this get to him too much as he began making strides to win over a woman by the name of Cynthia. She was an upper class woman but was just as defiant as Louie to scale. She found him very intriguing because of his experiences. This story follows a similar path of the beginning of Shakespeare’s Othello. With a hasty engagement after only dating for a little over two weeks Louie was in a mad dash to set up a wedding. Louie started building up his leg strength again and on May 25^th the wedding was held and the vows were made. Chapter 35 is mostly about the lives of the general POW Company after the war. This chapter says how many died, and many more were physically unable to do much else but lie down. To most of the men post-war peace-time was a time to rebuild dignity and to fall in love with the world. Though some weren’t so lucky as to have this outlook; filled with rage these few were bent on revenge. Louie had one final goal, the last thing he would do alive was not run in the Olympics; it was to kill The Bird.
