Quote: "I had been studying very carefully the way my hands wrinkled when tightly clenched, but I was able to bring my head up and return his inquiring look. 'Down at the bottom, yes'."(170)
Significance: Gene is a liar, he is being very selfish and all about himself. This quote is significant because it shows how bad of a friend Gene really is. He is lying to his best friends face about being at the bottom of the tree when he really was right next to him when he fell. He is only trying to save himself rather then be a man and tell the truth. Gene is becoming more nervous as more and more information gets out about what really happened. The more nervous he gets the more lies he tells, so he's just digging himself a very big hole.
Question: How would you look at your best friend during this trial if he acted very defensive like Gene did?
