Summary: Finny's leg got shattered from the fall. Gene is allowed to go see Finny in the infirmary, but they just fight about whose fault it was. They don't see each other until after break when Gene stops by at his house. Gene gets a job as an assistant senior crew manager and works for Quackenbush.
Quotation: "You aren't going to start living by the rules, are you?" I grinned at him. "Oh no, I wouldn't do that," and that was the most false thing, the biggest lie of all. (71)
Quotation Significance: We learn two things from this quote, one Finny didn't learn his lesson about doing stupid things, and two, Gene did learn his lesson and just doesn't want to tell Finny the truth because he is scared of his reaction.
Reflection: I knew for a fact that something like this was going to happen. One of them were obviously going to pay for the stupid things that they do. I think this can relate to the benchmark essay today about following rules, and how obedience is the key to safety. Well that is very true in this situation because Finny paid the price for not following obedience. I feel like Gene and Finny are also always fighting. Its like one of them always has to be right. I liked to read how Gene was trying to get involved in sports for Finny because Finny can't play them anymore ever again.
Discussion Question: What is going to happen to Gene when Finny comes back to school? Is there going to be anymore Suicide Society?
