Jimmie Sasaki

I am absolutely intrigued and blown away by Jimmie Sasaki and his story. I can not stop reading party because I want to know why he has been so kind to Louie and I want to know what is ultimate plan is. The book states that he knew Louie had lied at Kwajalein and tried to pass himself off as a bigwig but he does not seem angry at him and he definitely does not hate him (Hillenbrand 202). When I picture some one who turned against a country they spent a significant amount of time in I would have thought there would have been some resentment, especially during a war. Jimmie, however, just wants to talk about the good days at USC and does not address the fact that Louie is a prisoner in the camp, its just like their buddies.  Louie does become suspicious of him when it says, "They had brought him to Ofuna to soften him up for something else, but he had no idea what it was" (Hillenbrand 208). I think something major is coming up between Louie and Jimmie and I can not wait to find out what it is.
