Quote
"I should have told him then that he was my best friend also rounded off what he had said. I started to;I nearly did. But something held me back. Perhaps I was stopped by that level of feeling, deeper than thought, which contains the truth."(48)
Significance
This quote shows a trait in Gene that might occur subconsciously. It seems he is almost afraid to be happy, and by that he must be himself. He wants to tell Finny how good of a friend he is, but something in his mind will not let him. Is his mind worried of being happy for fear of it being all for naught? Or is it that his mind won't let him be happy because he envies Finny too much? It seems that each chapter delves deeper into Gene's mind;perhaps, soon we will know why he won't speak his mind or be true to his emotions.
Question
Will this lack of showing or acting apon emotions come back to haunt Gene?
P.S.
Seriously, this plot reminds me of "Fight Club". Especially when the make their own club (see the connection now? and how they're weren't supposed to talk about it? I think David Fincher's gonna sue somebody.)And the thing when Finny makes up Blitzball, it was totally like the movie "Baseketball"! Anyone, anyone? I CANNOT be alone on this...
