"Did you see the tree shake or anything?"(170).
"I don't recall anything like that..."(170).
This quote is significant because we now truly see Gene as this selfish person who only wishes to save himself. When Gene and Finny are brought to the school auditorium, Gene is trialed by Brinker to decide the issue of whether or not he made Finny fall. In this section we see Gene intelligently lies his way into becoming this innocent person, so that whatever is yelled at him, he can respond in a logical manner. This promotes his lack of friendship with Finny and his inability to speak the truth.
In real life could you have let the situation go this far?
