Gene meets his best friend Finny. Gene who is very studious, concerned about maintaining his high class ranking and always striving for the best grades he can get. Finny on the other hand, is the complete opposite. He always gets into trouble but manages to get out of it easily because everyone loves him even though he is quite the rebellious one. Also, Finny is an athletic boy who tries a sport once and can excel in it right away. Together, they created the Super Secret Suicide Summer Society, where they jump out of a tree into the river below them. That is, until one day Finny breaks his leg.

Finny falls out of the tree and Gene claims to have pushed him but Finny thinks this is rediculous talk. Dr. Stanpole tells Finny that he'll never play sports again because of his broken leg, so Finny wants to train Gene to get into the 1944 Olympics because he always wanted to be in them.

I disagree with this idea of Finny's because some people can work really hard and apply themselves as much as possible and still not be as good of an athlete as a person with a natural athletic ability.

Gene and Finny are very dependent on each other and very jealous each other. They also argue very often, and I personally think that the reason they argue so frequently is because they're jealous of each other and they're so different. I believe that you can be dependent on another person to an extent, but once you start living your life basically as them then that is the point where the line should be drawn. Every individual is important to society and contributes to it in some way, so just be yourself!

Well that's all i got for now,
see you tomorrowww! :)Y
