Amory comes home

When Amory comes home from the war he begins the process of becoming a personage. I don't really know what this means, but i get a sense for it by reading through the rest of the book. I think the first relationship with his friend's sister begins this process. Amory actually falls in love, or so it appears. With this event it seems that he is shedding his ego. Well, he was also in love with his cousin so that is another example. These sort of things that are deviations from Amory's normal character point to the fact that he is growing up. But, in the earlier part of part 2 he still has the egotist tendencies.
