Ch. 2-3

Ch. 2 "Finny never left anything alone, not when it was well enough, not when it was perfect." (29)

I chose this quote because I believe it contains forshadowing for how Finny and Gene's relationship will soon break apart. I think that right now Finny and Gene have a great relationship as two good friends that would do anything for each other. Later in the story I think we will see Finny's overbearing personality take over and he will do something to drastically change their friendship. So far in the story it seems that Gene gets pushed around a little by Finny, mentally and physically. I think this means someday Gene will be pushed too far by Finny and the bond between the two of them will snap.

Ch. 3 "Perhaps I was stopped by that level of feeling, deeper than thought, which contains the truth." (48)

I chose this quote because I believe it truly shows how Gene feels about Finny. This quote talks about how Gene stopped himself from saying Finny was also his best friend. I think Gene realized that if someone asked him who his best friend was he would normally say Finny right away, but when he did not say Finny was his best friend he notices that deep in his heart the truth was that Finny was not his best friend.

Why does Gene always follow in Finny's footsteps?
Why does Finny say the word "Naturaly" all the time?
