There is no win or lose in life. You can especially see that in this novel. All that the guys could do was to work with what they were given, each in their own way.
Finny welcomed life with open arms and relished every opportunity to live, even after he was injured and was put on the side lines. Gene lived through Finny in his shadow. Even after Finny's death, Gene couldn't stand on his own two feet. Then there's Leper who lived a timid and lonely lifestyle. He then suddenly tried to change and face life head-on by being the first to enlist, but he ended up cracking under the pressure. Quackenbush had his future planned out step-by-step, and he stuck to that plan.
These young men each had their unique approaches to living life. In the real world, there is now grade: pass or fail. There are only the choices in your life that determine how you life out your life.
