BR 2-06 Billy Budd

"You are young and strong, Billy," he said. "I'll take you. I don't want any of the others." (p.15)

This book was written by Melville Herman. He is an American novelist. I read it for the first time.

This story is about a seaman. His name is Billy Budd. He is kind and honest. He is a person of extraordinary beauty too. He wants to serve in the military.
Finally, he was executed because he was completely taken in by other seamen.

I could know the state of seamen in English battleship. It is interesting to me.
