Chapter 4:" I was more and more certainly becoming the best student in the school;Phineas was without question the best athlete, so that way were even... thrown into the scales they would in the end tilt definitely toward me"(55).
In this passage shows that Gene was a foe to Phineas. Gene's only desire is to one day witness the downfall of Phineas. He thinks he figured it out, due do the fact that he is smarter and gets better grades than Phineas that will count for more in the end. It has not occur to him may Phineas does not care. In contrast to Phineas Gene is more negative, life is competition and some are going to win and the others are going to fail. This chapter displays Gene's competitive nature and draws attention to the jealousy Gene has towards Phineas.
Is Phineas ever going to achieve something that is superior to anything Phineas has ever accomplished? Will it come with consequences?
