Quote
"Oh yes I did. I'm good for you in that way. You have a tendency to back away from things otherwise."(18)
Significance
This is significant because this is a foreshadowing that not many of us may remember(now that I am re-writing this). Within this small quote and everyday statement lies why Finny is such a good mach for Gene, and what is one(sadly) of Gene's problems. Finny is very spontaneous and somewhat forceful. This causes Gene to try new things, be spontaneous, or carry through with ideas, all of which he desperately needs to do.
Narrator (Gene)
Careful, Self-conscious, Detail-orientated, Good memory, Competitive.
"more elegant and more lifeless...when specters seemed to go up and down them with me."(11-12)
Phineas (Finny)
Courageous, Spontaneous, Natural, Persuasive, Lovable <3.(Slightly idiosyncratic)
"that voice of his, the equivalent sound of a hypnotist's eyes,...He opened his green eyes wider and gave us his maniac look, and only the smirk on his wide mouth with its droll, slightly protruding upper lip reassured us that he wasn't completely goofy." (14)
Question
Seriously, what is the main character's name? Is this going to be some Fight Club thing? Like we don't know his name until the end so *expletive deleted for all those who haven't seen it*?
