Chapter 12
I went to visit Finny but the Dr. Stnapole wouldn't let me in. When I snuck in I said to Finny that "I want to fix your leg up" (176). Finny then said to me that it was basically ok. He said "you'll fix my..." (176). When he did this he went to stretch out and he fell out of his bed. The next day Dr. Stanpole went to reset the break and some bone marrow had got into the bloood-stream and sadly Finny had died.
Chapter 11
I went back to Devon. I told every one Leper had changed and Brinker replied "he was out of his mind" (149). Finny had started a snow ball fight and I was obcouse forced to join in on the game. Later Brinker came in to our room and dragged me and Finny to this court room they had constructed to see what really happened to Finny that day in the tree. Finny tryed to protect me he said things like " You were down at the bottom, weren't you"(162)? I felt like they were all accusaing me, but they insisted "No, were not accusing you "(163). Then Finny became very angry he ran out the door and fell downthe stairs. "His body falling clumsily down the white marble stairs" (169). We knew that could not be good.

Chapter 10
I went to Leper's Christmas location, "It meant that he was at his home"(131). I went to his house and found him. I had a feeling he had deserted the army and I was correct. For Leper to desert there must have been a very good reason. He said "I escaped" (135). He told me how he saw people change and things that were not there and that he was on an insanity discharge. then he said to me "You're thinking I'm a psycho"(135). He then told me if he was discharged he would never beable to get a normal job again. I kicked his chair and became angry Leper ivited me to stay for lunch once we had both calmed down again. We went for a walk after nad we both felt better I believe he feels better about himself because of that. There is definalty something different, he used to be the old snail and beaver dam Leper but now he is different more angry and less tolerant.
Chapter 9
Leper Leppiller joined the ski troops none of us could believe it he just enlisted. "His enlistmen seemed just another of Leper's vagaries"(115). We began to joke that behind every win of the Allied troops Leper must have done something that caused the victory. Finny got the idea to have a winter carnival and began to asign people certain tasks to complete and accoplish. It seemed everyone became intoxicated by the cider, "the most cautiously guarded treasure"(123). The carnival was a great sucess I helped entertain the audience with a little running. They seemed t enjoy it. At the end of the day I recieved a telegram from Leper saying "I have escaped and need help"(129). This was a confusing message and i sought out to find the origin of it and its meaning. I went to Leper's "Christmas Location".
Chapter 12 Picture
The suitcase Gene packed for Finny seemed to resemble that Gene was packing his bag to take with him to an after life of some sort.
