Quote: "I did not cry then or ever about Finny. I did not cry even when I stood watching him being lowered into his family's strait-laced burial ground outside of Boston. I could not escape a feeling that this was my own funeral, and you do not cry in that case."
Significance: Through this passage we see that Gene has lost his separate peace. Finny, being his best friend, was a part of him and his right-hand-man. When Finny died, Gene lost a piece of himself that made him happy, courageous and determined. Finny was Gene's the light that brightened up his sky on a cloudy day.
Quote: Will Gene become better friends with Brinker now that he lost Finny?
