Snow falling on Cedars (Task 2 Love)

In this text I will explain you the relationship between Ishmael Chamber, the local reporter and Hatsue Miyamoto, the wife of Kabuo.
When Ishmael and Hatsue were young children they spent a lot of time together and played very often. Although Ishmael was even eight ore nine we can see easily that he loves Hatsue with all of his hard, but we also can see that Hatsue does not respond this in such a strong way.
As grown-up they spent a lot of their time under a cedar tree and loved each other. It was a secret love, because in this time it was out of question that an American boy has a Japanese girlfriend. Under this cedar they had their first sex.
As the Second World War all Japanese had to go into an internment camp and so Ishmael and Hatsue had to separate. In this internment camp Hatsue wrote a letter to Ishmael and said him that it is over. After that Hatsue got to know her Husband Kabuo and married him.
Ishmael stayed alone for the rest of his life. After fourteen years he saw Hatsue in the court, because Kabuo had a trial. But she didn’t want to talk with him. I think she didn’t want to talk with him because she knows that he have still strong feelings for her. One day as it looked very bad for Kabuo, Hatsue asked Ishmael to help her husband. And he does. He found proof that Kabuo can’t be guilty and that was the reason that Kabuo became free. That is a good point in the novel where you can see that Ishmael loves Hatsue really. Because he want that she could be happy even with another man.
I think that is true love.
