Artificial Vs Natural In A Separate Peace
1,825 wordsSomeone once said that being yourself, being who you are, is a successful rebellion. Gene Forrester, one of the main characters in John Knowles's novel, A Separate Peace should have taken this advice. Throughout the novel, Gene acted artificially, disguising his true self. He lived in fear of people finding out what he was really like. Phineas, Gene's best friend and the other main character in this novel, on the other hand, acted naturally around people.

Gene And Finny Separate Peace
1,611 wordsIn John Knowles A Separate Peace, symbols are used to develop and advance the themes of the novel. One theme is the lack of an awareness of the real world among the students who attend the Devon Academy. The war is a symbol of the "real world", from which the boys exclude themselves. It is as if the boys are in their own little world or bubble secluded from the outside world and everyone else. Along with their friends, Gene and Finny play games and joke about the war instead of taking it serious...

Rivalry In A Separate Peace
1,554 wordsEvery person feels rivalry or competition towards others at some point in their lives. This rivalry greatly affects our ability to understand others, and this eventually results in paranoia and hostility. It is a part of human nature, that people coldly drive ahead for their gain alone.

Gene And Finny Separate Peace
959 words1) The term a separate peace means that two people have come to an agreement on their own standards. In the novel A Separate Peace, the agreement is made between the characters Gene and Finny.

At the beginning of the story Gene and Finny were good friends. Sometimes Finny did some things that Gene thought were too wild, like wear the school tie as a belt. ...
