Quote: "I never killed anybody and I never developed an intense level of hatred . Because my war ended before I even put on a uniform; I was on active duty all my time at school; I killed my enemy there."(204)
Significance:
.....He's serious? He seriously just said that? He just declared Finny to have been his enemy? Really? And he thinks he's better without Finny around? Are you kidding me? Y'know, there's a word for the kind of person Gene is in every language. In Swahili, it's "Kumbafu."(Umm...will I lose points for saying that? )I thought he was a bad person at first, but this quote proved me wrong. Turns out he was downright despicable. Why couldn't he be the one to die? Seems the meaning of "protagonist" changed in the last few years. He's just....a Kak(more Swahili). But if I saw him covered in flames, I'd probably douse him off....and if the police showed up, I'd pretend I didn't know I was using oil.
Question: So, why were Finny and Gene friends, in the first place?

Wow, dude. Let me be the first to tell ya. That's a pretty harsh thing to say. I didn't have that reaction to that quote. I wonder who feels the way you do about it?
