Stephon is writing an essay that compares and
contrasts the way in which characters from two
different texts face obstacles in their lives. 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 are both
courageous.
Which quotation from The Boy Who Harnessed the
Wind would be most relevant for Stephon to include
in his notes to support the idea that William is
courageous?
O The preparation was complete, so I waited. The
muscles in my arms still burned from having worked
so hard, but now I was finished.
They spun slowly at first, then faster and faster, until
the force of their motion rocked the tower. My knees
buckled, but I held on.
I started wasting time in the trading center playing
bawo. Someone also taught me a wonderful game
called chess, which I started playing every day.
No more skipping breakfast; no more dropping out
of school. With a windmill, we'd finally release
ourselves from the troubles of darkness and hunger.


Please hurry!!!
