Leper sent Gene a telegram to inform him that he had deserted the army and needed help. He reached out to Gene, his friend from Devon School, as he was in a difficult situation and trusted Gene to provide support.
Finny tells Gene that everyone has a "separate peace" inside them and that they must find it for themselves. He encourages Gene to let go of his competitiveness and jealousy so that he can find inner peace.

In "A Separate Peace," a rhetorical question is a question asked for effect or to make a point rather than to elicit an answer. For example, when Gene asks, "Do you really think they'd let him in the Army if there was something really wrong with him?" he is not seeking a response but trying to challenge Finny's belief.

After working on the railroad, Gene decides to enlist in the military and serve during World War II. This decision is influenced by his desire to contribute to the war effort and redeem himself for his feelings of guilt and jealousy towards his friend, Finny.
Gene changed his mind about joining the army after he realized the true nature of his jealousy towards Finny. He felt guilty about causing Finny's accident and believed that enlisting would be a way to escape these feelings. However, in the end, he decided that facing his guilt and staying at school was the more sincere and honest choice.
