Number of words: 1067 - Number of pages: 4.... life with reason and logic;
we have established our idea of reality; and we believe that true perceptions are what we
sense and see. But it is our sense of reason and logic, our idea of reality, and our

Number of words: 561 - Number of pages: 3.... and complicated friendship,
Finny and Gene developed a strong bond. Unfortunately a strong bond could not withstand Gene's insecurities, as he faltered in Finny's unknown pressures of conforming.
