ASP- Ch. 8

Quote:
" Finny's face set in determination, with the older look I had just detected in him. "No," he said."
"I don't believe any student had ever said "No" flatly to Mr. Ludsbury before. It flustered him uncontrollably." (121)

Significance: Through these quotes we clearly see that this is one of the first times that Finny has been deliberately rude to someone. It shows how Finny's kindness is only shown towards people who do not challenge his abilities/actions. Finny seems to be able to have an open mind about the war and cannot understand the concept of an enemy in both situations.

Question: Why is it so hard for Finny to accept the fact that the war and sports are something that not everyone understands?
