6 Text to Text- Text to Self- Text to World: I actually think this book can be similar to Owl Ninja, another book in this series, because in both stories the samurai kids need to learn in the ways of something, for example, ninjas, and then in return, protect them.
This book can be similar to me because If I had to go on a quest like that, I would be scared, like the samurai kids.
This book can be similar to the world because someone might be scared of going against the champion of a type of match like Yoshi, when he said he would fight but was a little scared.
