Phineas thinks up of the idea of a festival, a winter festival. In this chapter, with Leper and the chaos of the war it is hard to imagine them having a fun experience. Finny says, "You know what we'd better do this saturday?" (Knowles 128). This is strange because Finny, a man of inovation and hope is setting this thing up has if there was nothing else to do. The old Finny would have preferred to go cliff jumping, not that the daredevil Phineas had picked up its bags and gone because of an injury. The daredevil was still there just weaker than ever. He would prefer watch other people have fun than do nothing. For old Finny that would have been tortue. What is symbolic is that Finny's injury made him different and more calm. The impact is total chaos, until the Leper's letter showed up. Finny is very brave to have such an athletic character, and still be positive knowing sports should be forgotten. Let alone the fact that his best friend did this to him.
