A SEPARATE PEACE
Man! I had some good times at this school, Gene said as he
reminisced about past times at Devon. Finny was his best friend at
Devon but they had completely opposite personalities, you’d
never expect them to come that close. Finny is so much better than
Gene in so many ways and he doesn’t even try. Gene envies the
way Finny excels in academics, sports, and how he gets away with
every thing.
Finny does excellent in all most everything he does, like in
sports. He excels in almost every athletic thing he participates in.
“you always win at sports” Knowles pg. 912. Also Phineas has
good grades, and doesn’t even try that hard. “ You think you have
done enough already” Knowles pg. 923. No matter what Finny
does wrong he never seems to get in trouble for it. “Are you really
going to wear that to the deans tea” Knowles pg.931. those are some
characteristics that make Phineas a unique person.
Gene works hard at every thing he does, especially academics.
Gene cares about his grades and works hard at it. “I didn’t think
you needed to study” Knowles pg. 922. Gene is also terribly un-
athletic, which is one of the reasons why he envies Finny. “ Ill just
be crew manager so I don’t have to do sports”. Jealousy is also
another one of Genes problems, it even causes him to hurt his best
friend. “I want to be just like him”. Those are some traits that let you
know a little bit about Gene.
Finny and Gene are completely opposite, but they are the best
of friends. They feel completely different about athletics, grades,
and their attitudes. By reading this paper, you now know a little bit
about the main characters in the story A Separate Peace. Hopefully
this paper will lead you to read the story.
