arnessed the Wind. Read this passage from Heart of a Samurai.
“I guess you’ll never become a samurai now, huh, Manjiro-chan?”
“Why not?” Manjiro asked.
“Even if we should get home, you know very well you can’t be. You weren’t born into a samurai family. You were born a fisherman’s son and you will be a fisherman, and any sons you have, they also will be fishermen. That is the way it is; that is the way it has always been; that is the way it will always be.”
Manjiro sighed. That was always the reason; that had always been the reason; and, he supposed, that would always be the reason.
What does this passage show about the culture in which Manjiro was raised?
It was customary to continue in the same line of work as one’s family.
Only those chosen to be a samurai could ever hope to become one.
Becoming a fisherman was the most honorable job one could have.
Dreams were not encouraged and were viewed as silly and worthless.
