Quote: " My own voice sounded quiet and foreign. "I jounced the limb. I caused it." One more sentence. " I deliberately jounced the limb so you would fall off."" (70)
Significance: At the end of chapter 5, we find out something shocking about Finny's "accident". Gene shook the limb on purpose. After thinking that Gene was a quiet and caring person, we find out that he deliberately tried to seiosuly hurt Finny. His envy towards Finny is to strong that he probably thought the only way to be better than him was to defeat him in some way, which is by hurting him so he could not be the star athlete anymore.
Question: Was there seriously no other way to settle this. Did Gene really have to take it this far.?
