Answer: Anger is an ineffective way for people get their points across. The following reasons are why. In the protests that have been going on many people have been showing their anger by robbing and vandalizing businesses by doing this they not only are ruining the city but also getting themselves in trouble by getting arrested. Martin Luther King Jr not once used violence to get his point across but he instead protested peacefully and with peace and he inspired people to follow him and they did at the end he changed many people's minds and got his point across. This shows that people don't need violence or anger to get there point through because there have been true examples showing us that you could still get what you want without getting angry. The last reason why I think that anger is ineffective is the following. Let me give this example, if you were to see a person who would yell, always be angry and want to start a fight with someone and they told you that there way of doing things was right would you listen to them? On the other hand if you were to see a person who talked calm tried to listen to others and gave good reason of their decision would you listen to them? It's exactly what going on if people protest with anger and violence they would not listen to them or not have much attention to them but if we act with calmness and patience they will acknowledge us and try to get to know our beliefs and thoughts.
Explanation: My 3 reasons simplified are if you use anger you will receive anger back, there have been real examples that actually work and changed people in where they did not use anger and it still worked basically it's been proved that even though you do not use anger it still works.My last reason is that you have to think about it, would you listen to people who use anger and violence or would you listen to people who are calm and patient and inspire other people with truth and kindness.
I read this book last year so take this with a grain of salt. Gene jumps from the tree to compete with Finny due to the fact that Gene is always trying to do better than Finny. He is put under the grasp of peer pressure due to Finny almost forcing him to do this. Ever since he first jumped Finny kept pressuring him to jump since he thought Gene enjoyed jumping. Rather than uses this answer you should probably just reread chapters 3-4
