Title: Heart of a Samurai
Author: Margi Preus
Genre: Children's literature
Pages: 57/282
I read chapter 3 to 5 until now. In chapter 3 to chapter 5, When Manjiro woke up he was on the John Howland, surrounded by one eyed sailors from the shore, the other fishermen were waving a flag to get the attention of the sailors, who end up rescuing the other fishermen as well. The sailors gave foods and new clothes to fishermen. And they taught them about eating using a fork, how to button their clothes, what shoes are and what pockets are in their pants. In the sailors, there is the best sailor called Captain Whitfield. Suddenly one of sailors talked to Manjiro and Manjiro's friends. Manjiro squeezed his eyes shut and tried to still his wildly pounding heart. He could not possibly be afraid, he reminded himself, for his heart was in order. Although also he had so many questions to the sailors. So he asked to Goemon how they find their way out here in the open ocean with no landmarks to guide the sailors and what they are doing. But Goemon answered sullenly, he just really wanted to go home. Goemon's theory is that they were looking for Japanese boys to cook in the pots differently with Manjiro's thinking. Manjiro was very curious about the sailors. When Captain Whitfield came to Manjiro and Goemon, he noticed that Manjiro had questions to him. So he permitted that Manjiro could asked that questions Manjiro wondering. Manjiro was so happy.
I think when Captain Whitfield saw Manjiro first. He was started to interested in Manjiro. Therefore they will be going together. I am so expected what is going to happen at next story. Whenever i continued to read this book, It always makes me curious like Manjiro and fell in about this book.
My favorite passage is "My father told me that a person should always put his heart in order before falling asleep. Then he will be unencumbered by fear"
Because this passage is when Goemon asked to Manjiro such like this"Manjiro-chan, aren't you afraid? Don't you worry what they will do to us?", Manjiro replied calmly although he was afraid of Captain Whitfield. I think it is really hopeful and positive passage.
