"Sometimes you are too ashamed to leave. That was true now. And sometimes you need too much to know the facts, and so humbly and stupidly you stay. That was true now too."(146)
I think this quote explains why Gene decided not to enlist for the army. He caused Phineas' pain and sorrow and now feels like it is his obligation to stay with him. Gene feels that he has to be at Phineas' assistance. The problem with this attitude is that he can not always be there for Phineas. Gene has his own dreams and ambitions one day he will follow them and leave Finny disappointed.
I feel that Leper is more miss understood then crazy. The army really influenced a change in his views. Is Leper going to try to change who he is because he feels like he is a disappointment to his parents?
