East O' Eden. 26-50

Sibling rivalry makes up part of the second block of reading. Cyrus tells Adam that he loves him more than Charles. Charles becomes jealous. This jealousy is not at all eased by the birthday of Cyrus, where Adam's gift far exceeds that of Charles. Thus comes yet another beating of Adam by Charles. Further down the reading, Adam ends up entering the army, and Charles, partly out of punishment for his beating of Adam, works at the farm.

What could the scar on Charles' face mean for his future?
