Ch. 10 "I didn't care because it had nothing to do with me. And I didn't want to hear any more of it. Ever."

I chose this quote because I believes it shows the big difference between Gene and Finny. Finny is a very humble person and never looks for attention to be placed on himself. The only person Finny tries to impress is himself. Conversely, Gene strives to be number one and makes everyone know that he is number one. He believes that it is only good to accomplish something if everyone is around to see it. Here Gene does not want to here Leper's story because it has nothing to do with him displaying his arrogance and neglect for others around him. If the story that Leper is telling involved Gene in any way, Gene would make the conversation angled torwards him so that he can feel that he has impress Leper.

Does Gene go along with Finny's olympic training because he likes the attention?
