What are quotes where gene feels guilt for what he did to finny in A Separate Peace?
One quote where Gene feels guilt for what he did to Finny in "A Separate Peace" is when he says, "I killed my enemy there." This quote is significant because it reveals Gene's realization and admission of the harm he caused Finny. Another quote is when Gene reflects, "I jounced the limb. I caused it....I deliberately jounced the limb so you would fall off." This quote conveys Gene's acknowledgment of his own culpability in causing Finny's fall and subsequent injury.
Evaluate finny's response to his injury and gene's revelation?
Finny's response to his injury is almost as if it doesn't effect him at all. He plays it off as if it's nothing. Finny sees it just as an unfortunate accident. He also says that he doesn't remember the details, which makes sense because Hebrew focused on the fall, but at the same time he also hinted at a feeling he had. In his gut he feels that Gene had something to do with it since he was the last thing he say before falling into the river. This is believable in this situation, he usually jumped of the limb perfectly. Gene later has an epiphany about Finny and himself. Funny wants him to succeed an he never did anything to keep Gene behind in school or anything else for that matter. All along Gene thought that he was in a competition with Finny to be the best, but Finny proved him wrong. This made Gene feel inferior because he is not a big enough person to admit the same. Finny always had a hint of this attitude. He has told Gene before that a game is just a game, and nothing more. He didn't want to keep Gene back from doing well in school. Funny also exposed his true feelings to Gene the night they slept at the beach, something that Gene would never be able to do. Finny never really had a competitive side toward anybody but himself. His actions and feeling about his injury further express that. His lack of anger hinted that he was content about everything he had already accomplished in his life so far.
What comment reveals finny has finally acknowledged the reality of the war in the book a separate piece?
I think it's on page 158, when Finny says, "Sure there isn't any war." It seemed to have a sarcastic tone with the way the author describes his gestures while responding to Gene in this way. I could be wrong though.

Finny says he has a new understanding of the war because he realizes that the war has affected him personally, through his injury that prevents him from participating actively in the conflict. This experience helps him empathize with the suffering of others and see the war from a different perspective.
Why does finny say he understands the joke about the war?
