    What does this dialogue tell you about the time and culture of the characters?

    Things do not change.

    Explanation:

    This dialogue shows that things do not change irrespective of the fact that, it might be in the best interest of the country.

    This could be seen in the culture and time period of the characters involved whereby, Samurai title is hereditary by blood lineage rather than hardwork or other method. This is also what was obtainable in Kingship which is by royal blood lineage rather than marriage.

    The characters might not get home.

    Manjiro wants to be a samurai.

    Explanation:

    From the excerpt of "Heart Of A Samurai", we can deduce that both Manjiro and the first speaker may not make it home because the first speaker was having some doubts about making it home, and Manjiro has hopes of becoming a Samurai but he may never become one because he wasn't born into a samurai family.
