Which details from the texts suggest that both William and Manjiro are creative?
Stephon is writing an essay that compares and
contrasts characters from two different texts. The two
characters he is comparing and contrasting are Manjiro
from Heart of a Samurai and William, the narrator of The
Boy Who Harnessed the Wind. One similarity he notes
is that Manjiro and William both show creativity.
O William harnesses the wind to create electricity;
Manjiro develops a way to cook food without fire.
O William finds a way to learn without attending school;
Manjiro creates a more effective way of husking rice.
O William works very hard to build his own windmill:
Manjiro devises a plan to get himself and the others
home.
O William uses sun and mirrors to create fire; Manjiro
finds a way to escape the "barbarians."
