ch 9

"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).

This quote characterizes Gene as a follower. After all that happened in the book so far, Gene still feels the need to follow everything Finny wants. This also shows the dominance that Phineas has over Gene.

Do you think Gene will finally break away from Finny?
