I watched a story about this book on PBS. It is a childrens book based on a memoir written by the first Japanese immigrant to the US, who was rescued and brought here on a whaling ship in the 1850s. It is a great candidate for someone to model. Also, Conrad's Heart of Darkness, and much of his other books are written in the style of memoir. They are good sources for inspiration as are some of the short stories by Edgar Allan Poe. Along the same lines, review Memoirs of a Geisha, The Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittmann, and The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin.
