I found the reading to be confusing, and very dark considering the light attitude of the past chapter. While there weren't any particularly important moments for the plot in this chapter, the development of Leper as a character was very interesting. It was revealed that Leper ran away/ deserted the army, as they were going to give him a Section Eight. Section Eights are worse than dishonorable discharges, mean that the person can never get a job, and are only given to those who are "psycho". Leper's lack of sanity is exhibited by his hallucinations, and complete personality change. Leper accuses Gene of knocking Finny out of the tree.
Gene is not exactly the best under pressure and first knocks Leper over, and later leaves Leper alone while the two were on a walk.
