Quote Significance Ch. 8&9

Chapter 8:


Quote: "I mean as much as you can say a season can love. What I mean is, I love winter, and when you really love something, then it loves you back, in whatever way it has to love."(111)


Significance: This quote is significant because it shows how Finny views his and Gene's relationship. Finny believes the way he feels about Gene is the way Gene feels about him. Because Finny likes Gene, Gene has to like him back because when you really love something, it loves you back. I think this quote just shows how Finny really feels about their friendship and how much he cares and loves for Gene.

Question: What is going to ruin their friendship?


Chapter 9:

Quote: "He drew me increasingly away from the Butt Room crowd, away from Brinker and Chet and all other friends, into a world inhabited by just himself and me, where there was no war at all, just Phineas and me alone among all the people of the world, training for the Olympics of 1944."(127)

Significance: This quote is significant because it seems like Gene thinks Finny doesn't want him to have other friends. Gene has to obey Finny's demands or else. That is kind of what it seems like, but maybe Finny is getting a little jealous himself now. He may only be jealous now because Gene can play sports, anddo all these things and he can't. Now Finny wants Gene all to himself because he's jealous?

Question: What is going to happen to Leper?
