Explanation and Analysis—Colonel Sanders:
Colonel Sanders, as he appears in the novel, is a concept, not a person, who operates according to pragmatic principles. After he recruits Hoshino to act on his behalf as a physical being, Hoshino can't help but question the Colonel's motives, being, and authority—in short, to question why he should be doing as the Colonel says. In order to convince Hoshino, the Colonel makes an appeal to authority.
