    A Separate Peace Literary Analysis

    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.…

    Lise Meitner: Mother Of The Atomic Bomb

    Lise Meitner - One of the most majorly underlooked physicists due to her gender and all of her work being credited to a man, her partner. Lise Meitner discovered fission, the action of dividing or splitting something into two or more parts in 1945. Although she had nothing to do with the actual creation of the actual atomic bomb, Lise Meitner was known as the, "Mother of the Atomic Bomb," due to her being the first to realize that uranium could undergo a runaway chain reaction that could be used as a bomb.
