Social class Aspects of Environmental Determinant in Bill Macneil’s Personality Development.

since it will only increase Bill’s anger and vengeance towards the Japanese and it will ruin Bill’s life. The next influence comes from Bill Macneil’s sister, Sarah Macneil. She is described as very attractive woman and she is an example of nearly perfect woman. She is very beautiful and the most important, she has a good personality. And Sarah: always smiling, ever serene, eager to please, ready to protect, impossible to dislike. Her personality overwhelmed her beauty in a viewer’s eyes, but if one should be so fortunate as to chance upon her sleeping, then it was her beauty-the oval face, exquisite daintiness, hair as black as a crow’s wing, large dark upturned eyes, long lashes, perfect nose and lips-that made a viewer yearn to tarry and drown in her loveliness. Seward, 2000: 8. Her beauty and her attractive personality make her able to work with the Japanese Air Force leader General Doihara. Sarah does not want to leave Japan during the war because she wants to fulfill her promise to he late fiancé, Nathan Blum. In order to survive during the World War II, Sarah changes her name into Chinese, Lin Hsao Mai. The only news of import had been that his sister Sarah was now the protégée of a high-ranking Japanese officer in Shanghai. My God Macneil thought. What the hell does the protégée mean? Was she a goddamned Japanese officer’s mistress? His sister? Maybe his father had it wrong. Seward, 2000: 113. The quotation above explains that Bill is in a sense of disbelieve that her beloved sister has become a Japanese officer’s mistress, he hopes that the news that he heard from his father is wrong. Bill’s hope does not come true. During his conversation with the president of the United States, Bill knows that the news about Sarah becomes the mistress of a Japanese officer’s is true. “We know that your younger half-brother is training to be a Zero pilot, and Sarah Macneil is the part-time mistress of the man who heads the Japanese Army Air Forces.” Seward, 2000: 204. Bill meets Sarah in Tokyo to confirm about the news that Sarah becomes Japanese mistress. “Not with a sister-“ “Half-sister.” “-who is the mistress of a Japanese general.” She is chuckled. “I might turn you in myself. He’d like that.” Seward, 2000: 216. He still can not believe that his sister has joined the Japanese who became Bill’s opponent. The news about her sister who becomes the Japanese’s mistress makes Bill hatred towards the Japanese is getting worst. Another influence towards his personality development comes from Bill Macneil’s brother, Shipton Macneil. Shipton is described as a weak person but he is strong to the things that he really believed in Seward, 2000: 7. Ship loves his mother very much and it makes him has to stay in Tokyo during World War II to accompany his beloved mother. “Ship’s too young to think about the carrier. I can’t tell yet what he might become. All he seems to think about now is his mother…” Seward, 2000: 24 Umeko came down with uremic poisoning occasioned by kidney failure. It’s her diabetes of course. The doctors absolutely forbade her to be moved. She is in the Seventh Day of Adventist hospital in Shinjuku, in good hands. Shipton insisted on staying with her. Seward, 2000: 44. Shipton insists to stay in Tokyo during the war to accompany his Japanese mother, in order to stay in Tokyo, Shipton changes his name into Wataru Miyoshi and joins the Special Attack Corps. “We know that your younger half-brother is training to be a Zero pilot…” Seward, 2000: 204.
