What is "the truth" to which Gene refers
in the last line of the chapter?
The level of feeling deeper than the truth in this chapter would be Gene’s and Finny’s relationship, their relationship is at it’s pinnacle and they are best friends at this point in the book. After Finny saved Gene from falling of the tree Gene was astonished by this, then in at a later point Finny says “at this teenage period in life the proper person is your best pal. He hesitated and then added, which is what you are” that truth that Finny talks about is their friendship at that point sitting there in the dunes, they were best of pals. Then when Gene did not answer there was just some weird moment which was the truth, he did like him as his best pal but he did not say that he was. He was about to but he didn’t and that is just one truth that with a great friendship always comes a problem. That truth might be that in a friendship like that he did not have to say it back because Finny already knew that they were if not he would not have saved him.

Art, we talked about this in class. You work your way around to a strong idea, but the early part of the paragraph is off target. Please only use words you understand. 7
