Today I found out that Leper has decided to enlist in the war. He changed his mind out of no where.
“No real war could draw Leper voluntarily away from his snails and beaver dams.” (Gene, pg 115) I was shocked when I found this out because I never thought anything was going to pull him away from what he likes doing. He enlisted because he always thought the war would come for him. I don’t think this is a good reason for him to go into something he doesn’t want to be in. I was worried about how Leper was going to be in the war and how he was going to be when he gets out of it. I hope it doesn’t mess him up too much. Finny and I were training for the Olympics of 1944. I didn’t like the dreary weather today but Finny enjoyed any weather. Finny imprinted a start on his cast today too. It looks cool. I deserted his enlistment plan today. He stopped writing his newspaper column. We decided to try and put together a winter carnival for everyone because we figured it would be a lot of fun and a good thing for our school to do.
