I know you are kindly responding to my suggestion of the word 'unattractive'. I also gave you the word 'complex' as an alternative idea for a topic sentence. To me, having to lie is unattractive... thus I used that word. But I see your point with the admirable in Finny's purpose for lying.
You sound like a intelligent enough student to put this together on your own because you know what you think. I hope you go with an idea that truly reflects your own thought.
These ideas you've presented though all seem to me to focus on purpose. Finny wants to serve because he is an athlete and a strategist. He likely has ideas. Gene doesn't know so much about what he wants it seems. He was following Brinker when Brinker wanted to go, and following Finny when Finny needed him to stay. Maybe writing a sentence about their varied purposes for enlisting in the war revealed something about their friendship. Obviously Gene had a loyalty for Finny or he would have gone off to war. Finny's hiding of his true feelings for so long must show something about him. What do you think it means?
