Chapter 9

As me and finny train together I start to think about how unreal that the war is. What makes it even more unreal is the fact that Leper Lepellier is looking up skii troops to enlist in. Brinker starts to make fun of Leper and finny wants no part int it. When we were at the butt room they started to talk about leper and finny refused to join in so I did too. As we started to get more and more closer I eventually stopped going to the butt room. After that I stopped talking to my friends all together. It seemed as though if I talked to finny everytime I would be takin further and further away from my friends. And after a while it was just me and him training for the olympics everyday. I think it was at the point when Leper said "I'm going to enlist in these skii troops"(117) that finny wanted nothing to do with them. He felt as though that was a cowards way into the war. Finny had decided to organize a winter carnival and everyone was assigned jobs. But durring this Leper had left a letter that he had escaped and should go to the "Christmas Location".
