" Phineas, you wouldn't be any good in the war, even if nothing had happened to your leg... you'd be with the Germans or the Japs, asking if they'd like to field a baseball team against our side. You'd be sitting of their command posts, teaching them English. Yes you'd get confused and borrow one of their uniforms and you'd lend them one of yours.(190-191)
It is funny how Gene is glorifying Finny's abilities persuade people by sweet talking them and his loyalty to the world. This was what Gene envied about Finny. That's what made him so jealous that he could not control himself and hurt Finny. He is also right, Phineas is to modest to be fighting in a war. I do not believe for one minute Phineas is capable of killing someone. That is why a lot of people just love who Phineas is. He is different and also a character that I would only encounter in a book.
Will Gene still go on feeling like he was dead?
What now?
