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.

His parents, who were hard working, took care of his college expenses while other college students used their parent’s money for the wrong reasons. Cho didn’t like that.

Chapter one of the text begins by mentioning two different terms- "these two come forth in unity but diverge in name, their unity is known as an enigma."
