Chapter 2-
Quote: "It was hypnotism. I was beginning to see that Phineas could get away with anything. I couldn't help envying him that a little, which was perfectly normal. There was no harm in envying your best friend a little." (25)
This quote could pose a possible reason/foreshadowing as to why Gene and Phineas might have problems in their friendship. To much envy might lead to invading of space and privacy of the two best friends.
Is too much envy the real reason why Gene and Phineas have a problem in their friendship?
Chapter 3-
Quote: " Yes, he had practically saved my life. He had also practically lost it for me. I wouldn't have been on that damn limb except for him. I wouldn't have turned around, and so lost my balance, if he hadn't been there. I didn't need to feel any tremendous rush of gratitude toward Phineas." (33)
This quote shows a love-hate relationship that Gene feels towards Phineas. It's all because of him that he went to jump off the tree and almost hurt himself. On the other hand, it was because of Phineas that Gene got to take a chance in life and do something out of the norm.
Do we know how long Phineas and Gene have known each other/ have been friends?
