Journal Eleven

When I returned to the Devon school today, I had realized that Finny had organized an unusual sport to play with some boys. Finny and the rest of the guys ended up making me join in on the snowball fight with them even though I did not want to. "When I got back I found him in the middle of a snowball fight in a place called the Fields Beyond." After the snowball fight, Finny had approached me about Leper and I had explained to him how he had gone crazy. Also, I informed him about the activity that took place when I had visited Leper.

(This picture reminds me of when I came back and

caught the boys in the middle of a snowball fight.)

Later in the day, Brinker talked to me about enlisting. He had accused me of not enlisting because he thought I felt guilt for the shattering of Finny's leg. This same night, Brinker had taken Finny and I into the assembly hall. Here, Brinker decided to have a meeting about Finny's shattered leg. It does not take long for Finny to get frustrated and leave the meeting. Finny had began to run with his foot cast and I went after him. "Then these separate sounds collided into the general tumult of his body falling clumsily down the white marble stairs."

(This reminds me of the awful site I had

to witness when Finny fell down the stairs.)
