Glasius: The Struggle Between Peace And Peace
In the beginning, there was one big massive land, that was overseen by Glasius. He towered over the land at 100’ tall. He was looked up too, by the people, for guidance and assistance. He shaped the land and carried with him a huge chisel and hammer. Among being there for leadership, Glasius was also there to bring about peace.
All throughout the land, there were a total of seven factions. Each faction had their own beliefs and values on day to day life and survival. From time to time, the factions would clash and major wars would often occur. Glasius would intervene and bring leaders together, to try and resolve the conflict peacefully. As usual, the peace would only last temporarily.

    In John Knowles’s novel A Separate Peace, Knowles describes a life-changing sequence of events, as seen by Gene Forrester, which takes place at Devon Boarding School. Gene constantly finds himself struggling to find the truth about his relationship with Finny. Peter Wolfe states that the novel, “cries to be read in the context of original sin,” and Novels for Students references that, “the real struggle is fought in the hearts of the characters, not on the battlefield.” Both the sin and struggle come together when Gene places himself in a competition with Finny, which can only end with one definite winner. Many different factors contribute to the theme of competition including: the physical abilities of each boy, the internal characteristics of each boy, and Gene’s jealousy and envy of Finny.…

    Are all people born with some unknown evil inside them or does the world just slowly corrupt the innocent as they mature. In the novel A Separate Peace, the author, John Knowles uses a dual perspective on certain characters and events throughout the novel to help support the books main theme; the loss of innocence through growth into maturity. One example of this technique is seen through the comparison between the two rivers running on the Devon campus. "The Devon River represents goodness, beauty, even purity" (Mellard 58) while the "Naguamsett, associated with winter, suggests everything contrary to the spirit of Devon: it is ‘ugly, saline, fringed with marsh, ' and it is ‘governed by unimaginable factors '" (Mellard 58). The dualistic symbolism of the two rivers is seen through the contrasting personalities of Gene and Finny, the struggle between war and peace and the conflicting seasons of summer and winter which help to support the theme involving the timeless battle of good versus evil which. The biggest counterpoint in the novel, Finny and Gene, are personality-wise, equal to the two rivers.…

With having two opposing personalities as the main characters, it’s easy for the reader to identify with one more than the other.
