in Japan from Korea around the 6th Century, while the minority religion of Christianity was brought to Japan ten centuries later by Jesuit missionaries (Crane, Bruce, Salmon, Eich, & Brandewie, 2012).

During his ordeal with his comrades off the coast of Florida the Correspondent, a cynical and apathetic man, develops a compassion for others and a will to live better.
