1) Once the story shifts to the summer of 1942, Gene begins his narrative about his summer, the war, the school, his friendships and most specifically his relationship with Finny. Provide three specific examples of characterization about Finny, most specifically what kind of person is he and how do you know this.
When Gene is narrating this chapter, he describes Finny, and the school a lot. Finny is described to be somewhat of a rebel, and leader. When Finny starts the "club" he makes almost to stand out, not to bond with anyone but Gene. Gene is so glad Phineas saved his life, but after on he decides to not have any gratitude for Finny because he put him up there in the first place. This shows that Finny can put others as well as himself in danger. Finny makes up very unique rules that make the club though on all, especially Gene. Gene also get away with everything, which is why Gene envys Phineas. "I couldn't help envying him"(Knowles 25)
