For this journal prompt, I want you to write from Gene's perspective. You just intentionally jounced your best friend out of a tree; the result is that he fell to the ground below and shattered his leg, ruining his chances of playing sports ever again.
What's interesting about Gene is that he is the narrator of the novel, which means that he should act as the protagonist - we should "root" for his character; we should be on Gene's side. However, many readers often find it difficult to empathize with Gene for what he did to the good-natured Finny. What do you think about his character?
And if you were Gene, what would you have to say for your actions?
