During chapters four through six both Gene and Phineas went up and over with their rational decisions, which led to one person happy and others hurt. These three chapters weren’t as good, in my opinion, as the first three but didn’t make me want to stop reading the book. Three things that stood out in these chapters were; the drastic change from Gene, Phineas’s shirt being put on by Gene, and giving in and helping Gene’s domination.

So Phineas, forces Gene to take the last part of him, that Gene hasn’t claimed yet, to make him
