Today’s Date 8-24-17 Due Date 8-28-17 Literature will consist of researching the book; reading the book; discovering the plot, characters, setting, themes; answering literature guides; and doing book reports. Read over Literature Terms. Put this in your notebook. First book we will read will be Shipwrecked: The True Adventures of a Japanese Boy. Any person who leaves the country to go to another and later returns will be put to death. This was the law in Japan in the early 1800s. When fourteen-year-old Manjiro, working on a fishing boat to help support his family, was shipwrecked three hundred miles away from his homeland, he was heartbroken to think that he would never again be able to go home. So when an American whaling boat rescued him, Manjiro decided to do what no other Japanese person had ever done: He went to America, where he received an education and took part in events that eventually made him a hero in the Land of the Rising Sun.
