"I never talked about Phineas and neither did anyone else; he was, however present in every moment of every day since Dr. Stanpole had told me."(202)
Significance
This is the first time Gene really talks about Phineas. He explains that he doesn't really feel like Phineas is gone. Phineas's character and charisma was so strong, it last even after he's gone (hey that rhymed!!1) After this, he begins to talk about Phineas more in the entire chapter. I think was almost like an 'ice breaker' of his anguish. Also, what stuck out to me was he didn't call him 'Finny' like he normally would, he calls him Phineas.
Question
Was Phineas' death pointless or in vain, or was it a sacrifice so that Gene may change and continue his memory?
