Although Finny acts controlling and arrogant, he still manages to be well liked. Finny’s charming personality allows him to convince anybody of anything, including the substitute headmaster. Gene states, “Everything he said was true and sincere” (page 23), after Finny persuaded the headmaster into not giving them a punishment for skipping dinner. When Finny made up the game of Bliztball, he dictated how all the boys should play the game. By saying “Well, run” (page 37), Finny ordered Gene to run and Gene naturally did exactly that, no questions asked. Finny acted completely arrogantly when he behaved like the tea was such a drag, even though he participated the most out of all the guests. By thinking he was too good for the tea Finny displayed his arrogance. Being likable, controlling and arrogant, Finny is almost untouchable, and that’s what makes Gene so jealous.
