Since Arafat could not make peace with the Israelis, all this energy was in nothing. Although Mr. Ross does not necessarily reject the theory that Arafat was behind the eruption of the 2000 violence, he did absolutely nothing to prevent it.

    A Separate Peace Book Report

    1) The main character of the book, A Separate Peace, is Gene Forrester. He is in the senior class at Devon. He is widely known as the smart student who is always on time to class and always does his school work. Gene is a good choice as the main character of this book, but if the author would have chosen Finny as the main character, the book would have been different. Finny leaves Devon for an amount of time because he breaks his leg. Therefore, if he was the main character, the book would not have been placed at Devon the whole time, it would have been placed at Finny's house for a short amount of time. The reader would have also been able to see what Finny was thinking when he first broke his leg and when he did it a second time. The two characters are similar, in the fact that, they both would not be where they are today without their friendship. They are also both very competitive with each other. Gene and Finny are different, in the fact that, Gene is shy while Finny is very outgoing. Finny is focused on athletics while Gene is focused on academics.…

    A quote from Shakespeare says, “Suspicion always haunts the guilty.” Shakespeare’s quote perfectly exemplifies the position Gene Forrester finds himself in chapter seven of the book A Separate Peace, by John Knowles. Gene is accused both in public and private, by Brinker Hadley, of arranging the accident that Finny had just so he could room alone. Although Brinker only meant this as a joke, he was surprised at Gene’s unusual defensive response. Gene starts to realize, after he laughs at the joke uneasily, that his bottled up guilt is changing him and making him look suspicious.…

    One of the most asked questions for A Separate Peace is: who exactly is the protagonist and antagonist? Most would agree that Gene is the protagonist, however is it Gene or Phineas that is the enemy? I believe that the real ‘bad guy’ in this book is Gene. He envied Phineas from the very beginning but didn’t admit it until a little later on. Whether it was getting away from trouble, having a natural athletic ability, or simply being modest and humble about things, Phineas seemed to have been better at almost everything.…
