WH book review (Chapter 7~10)

  After becoming an official crew of the whalling vessel, the 5 japanese  got used with the crew members and none of them eventually talked bad about japnese such as discriminating. Out of the 5, Manijiro especially constantly tried to understand each words the crew members said and helped out the ship with works.One day, the whalling vessel ship arrived at Honolulu and they were finally able to get off the ship. They were able to stay in a small village near the port. Upon reaching, Maniro heard one crew members saying that their next destination was their home country called "America".  After having interest in wanting to know about "America", Manjiro asks Captain Whitfield about hisi home country and ends up talking about Manjiro's dream in wanting to become a samurai one day.  At the end, Captain Whitfield suggests Manjiro if he would like to visit America as his son. After hearing his suggestion, Manjiro started to have a thought in thinking that this could be a good opportuinity to find out more about oversea countries, however the other japanese fisherman refuses to him that that might be an unpleasent decesion. Manjiro doesn't know which descion is right and suitable for him.
