Aylo's Injustice: A Narrative Fiction

“Well then I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but you seem to have found a new friend” Bryson adds. At this I look behind me to see a girl, about our age, covered in clown face paint, on our looking at her she let’s forth a high pitched giggle

But in a week I had forgotten that, and I have never since forgotten the dazed look on Finny’s face when he thought that on the first day of his return to Devon I was going to desert him. I didn’t know why he had chosen me, why it was only to me that he could show the most humbling sides of his handicap. I

“To keep silent about this amazing happening deepened this shock for me. It made Finny seem too unusual for—not friendship, but too unusual for rivalry.”

There is a sense of mutualistic loyalty between Gene and Finny, and even after Finny’s accident, Finny refutes the idea

The ignorance and innocence of the summer session are quickly fragmented when the seriousness of Gene’s actions are unveiled with Finny’s death.

“Peace had deserted Devon.” The war had finally made it’s way to the school, and destroying peace and replacing it with fear and uncertainty. Gene feels devoid of peace after Finny is injured, just as Devon does when the war closes in. He believes that he is the sole reason that his best friend is dead, and this idea tears and rips his insides apart.

Now Finny didn’t want to believe that Gene, his best friend, would ever hurt him. Once Finny had broken his leg again, from falling down the stairs, he lost it. He finally faced the truth and claimed that Gene

The ending of Knowles’ work, surprises the reader. This is because Finny’s death is not expected. What is astonishing about this ending is John Knowles’ decision to let Gene’s immaturity determine something as deep as Finny’s faith. His death can be seen as a metaphor to Gene’s transformation from a boy to a man. When Gene’s best friend

Finny is fully aware of the wretchedness of his best friend and the world around him throughout the course of the novel. His refusal to acknowledge the world around him causes him to create “his own world out of his imagination,” (Forbes 3). As a result, “denial has been replaced by acknowledgment of the truth,” in Finny’s mind (Rowe 4), and Finny finds himself incapable of accepting the war because “to accept the war is for Finny to accept a broken world,” actively denying the possibility of a cruel world because he does not want to accept the impending conclusion that Gene ruined his life by causing his fall (Ellis 317). Because Finny is unable to accept that his best friend maintains a certain jealousy and moral ugliness, he is killed by the subsequent mock trial Brinker and the other boys hold to force him to open his eyes. When he finally accepts the truth, he releases the rage that was held back by his denial and “asks Gene what else of his Gene plans to break,” showing that he too is capable of the same human anger that Gene was so familiar with (Adney 3). Moreover, this outburst serves as important insight into Finny’s character, showing that he was aware of Gene’s darkness and the darkness of the world throughout the novel, but was choosing to pretend that it did not exist. Therefore, when the reader realizes that Finny is no longer the innocent and godlike hero that Gene viewed him as, Finny’s raw humanity is exposed and the reader is forced to confront reality just like Finny was. Finny’s ungodliness makes the reader realize that every person is imperfect, even when seen through a lens of

(Knowles 66). When something traumatic happens, Finny tends to resort to pretending the problems aren't real to help avoid there's any at all. It’s reasonable but not smart, because all Finny is doing is pushing his problems to the side until they get brought back up again. Instead of Finny being over his problem by then, he hasn't even come to terms that it even happened, which just leads to being even more hurt after he finally accepts the problem is real and not going away. Finny chose not to believe Gene had a part of anything so when realization finally hit, he fell down the stairs in an attempt to run away because he was overwhelmed and hurt.

Finny is out of school for a while and Gene admits that he caused this on purpose and Finny is distraught about

“I did have this idea, this feeling that when you were standing there beside me… But you can’t say anything for sure from just feelings. And this feeling doesn’t make any sense. It was a crazy idea, I must have been delirious. So I just have to forget it. I just fell.” (66) The feeling that Finny had, was the slight thought of his best friend possibly being the reason behind his fall, makes him This shows that Finny is starting to feel guilty and sad as he couldn’t believe himself for thinking about something like that, just judging from his feelings. “I’m sorry about that feeling I had.” (66) This indicates that the loyalty in Finny is preventing him from knowing the truth of his friendship with Gene; which is that he was actually the one who caused him to fall. Adding on, the goodness and authenticity of Finny’s heart is prohibiting him from believing; let alone thinking about a small possibility that his best friend would do something like

Just mercy is a powerful novel Written by Bryan Stevenson in the book he put us in a different world. while he depicts the social injustices he experiences while he defended an innocent man. Walter whom was set up for a murder of a women named Ronda even with multiple witnesses he is still convicted. Which made this be my topic of interest during the time that I was reading Just Mercy.
