Chapter 12

 I'm carried away from the stairs. It felt weird. I had never took assistance from anyone except for for Gene, probably because he thought of Gene as an extension of his own being. I'm taken away to the infirmary and when I'm alone Gene comes into to visit me. I don't welcome him in and i basically just tell him "You want to break something else in me! Is that why you're here?" He tries to apologize to me but I'm having none of it.  Gene comes back later though and all i can do is look at him and wish, aloud, that there wasn't any war. I could deal with all this, if only there wasn't a war on. I tell him says that I've been writing letters everywhere, trying to figure out if he can be in the war with his busted leg. I'll hate it everywhere if  I can't, knowing that I'm missing out. Yet Gene thinks i wold be useless in the war because i don't understand fighting. Then Gene leaves me while i wait for my surgery. 









Picture 1 : This is relevant because it shows a doctor with its thumb down telling us thats there bad news and in this chapter Dr. Stanpole has bad news for Gene and tells him that Finny has died


Picture 2 : This picture is related to this chapter because after Finny dies in the infirmary, they have funeral for him.







"This was becoming the new background of Finny's life, this is purely medical element from which bodily health was absent."

"The toen of his voice fell dead center, without a trace of friendliness  or unfriendliness, not interested and not bored, not energetic and not languid."
