On pg. 48, the last page of Chapter 3, Finny tells Gene that they are best pals. At the last paragraph, Gene tries to create a response but is unable to. He is stopped from responding because of his interpretation of the truth. The truth is that h could not tell that because “Exposing a sincere emotion nakedly like that at the Devon School was the next thing to suicide.” He new that telling these things were not considered cool and he wanted to maintain being friends with one of the most popular kids in the school. The truth to Gene is that he is also surprised to hear what Finny said. He didn’t expect to here Finny say this. He was surprised that he even went on a trip this illegal. After Finny says this, Gene as so many mixed emotions, he has no clue how to respond, so, he stays quiet and doesn’t respond.

Lew, you're all over the place. Too many ideas and none of them developed fully enough. The question is NOT why doesn't he respond, but what is the truth? 7.5
