Finny is a good athlete, and is naturally athletic. Gene describes Finny as being, athletic, and having a natural ability to be good at sports. Finny is five feet, ten inches tall and weighs 150 pounds. He is muscular; gene describes Finny as he climbs a tree as his “muscles working like panthers”. Finny was not spectacularly built but was very strong. One day Gene had timed Finny when he was trying to beat the swimming …showed first 75 words of 291 total…

…showed last 75 words of 291 total…Gene would suffer the consequences. Finny loved the beach and the waves and salt intoxicated him. Finny had a talent of being very coordinated, that's how he was good at jumping from the tree by the river. Finny was very courageous until the point where Gene made him fall from the tree and shatter his leg, later on it killed him from tripping again. Finny was the best character of the story in my opinion.
