A Seperate Peace

Leper went off to war, and Gene went out to search for him as the telegram said that he sent the boys at Devon. Brinker continued to make rude remarks about Finny's broken leg and tried to accuse Gene for wobbling the limb and causing Finny to fall out of the tree. Gene knew he did, as well as Finny although he didn't really want to believe it. After Finny died i was a bit surprised, because it was unexpected. I was also amazed to how calmly Gene reacted to his passing. They were best friends and Gene even said he was a part of Finny, and i was curious to why he was so laid back after the incident. The book overall was not really my type of book. The meaning of the novel was very subtle, and not very interesting in most parts.

The book honestly started off a bit boresome to me in some parts. Although, for example when Finny falls out of the tree and hurts his foot, that part was intriging to me. The drama and cliffhangers kept me interested and curious to what will happen next. I examined that Finny was a quite differnt person then Gene. He was adventurous and far more outgoing, with clever and humorous ideas. While Gene was more of the quiet, reserved type. Although, a bit brighter then Finny as the author gives clues to. Another part that kept me interested so far was when Gene realized that Finny might just have been jealous of him that whole time, and they were really rivals, even though it turned out they weren't. Finny's dreams were to praticipate in the 1944 olympics. Except after he injured his foot, he told Gene he wanted him to be in the olyimpics for him, which fascinated me as well. All in all, i am about three fourths through the book, and so far i think it is moving , and well designed.
