Explanation:

"Heart of a Samurai" is a novel written by Margi Preus. It tells the story of a poor Japanese fisherman, Manjiro, who ends up in America after a shipwreck.

From this excerpt we can infer that Manjiro is a very brave person because he "choked down" his fear in order to help his friends.

He was afraid, but he didn't run away. He stayed and made a contact with these "odd-looking" people, no matter how potentially dangerous they could have been.

the narrator is a first person, participant one, who describes in the simple past tense important and difficult events in his earlier life. he also provides temporal markers as the month (january) and the time (12: 30 pm). finally the account of his experience is very detailed, to the extent that a participant narrator would talk the same way about his experiences. a good example of such detail is the mention of the “bovril ration” which historically was a native american food adopted by european explorers in arctic and antarctic regions due to its high level of calories.
