The narrator of the story, Gene Forrester, returns to the Devon School in New Hampshire. He returns fifteen years after being a student there. He walks around the campus and notices that everything seems the same, as if a coat of varnish had been applied to the buildings. He said they kept them just as they were during the time when he attended school there. He looks back on how fearful he was in those days. In the early 1940s, while World War II raged in Europe was when he went to school there. And he decides to visit the two places that he most closely associates with that fear. The first is a marble staircase in one of the academic buildings, and the second is the river and he searches for a specific tree on its banks. He identifies his tree by a number of scars on its trunk and by the way that one of its branches sticks out over the river. The narrative flashes back to the summer of 1942, when he was sixteen and standing at the same tree. He was there with his roommate Phineas, or Finny, and three other boys. Finny wants them to jump off a branch of the tree into the river and tries to persuade them. Finny jumps first to show the others that it is possible. Gene finally jumped but no one else did. They all went back to the campus and by that point, Gene and Finny had become really close friends. They missed dinner throughout this entire event.

He reflects on how fearful he was in those days—the early 1940s, while World War II raged in Europe—and decides to visit the two places that he most closely associates with that fear. The first is a marble staircase in one of the academic buildings, which Gene decides must be made of incredibly hard stone, since the depressions created by students’ feet over the years are still shallow. After staring at these steps for a time, he goes back outside, passing the dormitories and the gymnasium, ruining his shoes as he trudges across the soggy playing fields in the rain. He eventually reaches the river and searches for a specific tree on its banks, which he locates with some difficulty in a grove of trees similar to each other.

ReplyDeleteChapter 1 and 2 of A Separate Peace tells the beginning of a story taken place during World War II era at Devon School in New Hampshire. The Narrator, Gene, re-visits his old school that he attended when he was a teenager and remembers the events from the summer of 1942 which has had a huge impact on his life. He sees the marble staircase and finds the tree where he left a mark on when he was young with his friends. He recalls the fear that this place has brought to him, and flashes back to that summer, where he and his best friend Finny and some other friends did the tree jumping dare. He was ordered by Finny to do it and he did. Later on, they wrestled and were late for dinner so they skipped the meal and went back straight to do their homework.
ReplyDeleteChapter 2 Continuing the story,Mr.Prud’homme found out about them skipping dinner, but was charmed over by Finny's talkativeness and didn't give out any punishments. Mr. Patch-Withers, the substitute headmaster, held a tea with all the students, where Finny was the one only one that talked eloquently and got along with the teachers very well. He wore a flashy pink shirt that caught the attention from the teacher, but was again turned out fine for his clever explanation. The narrator was disappointed that Finny could get away with so much rule-breaking. At the end, Finny and the narrator went on the tree together, but the narrator lost his balance and Finny reached out and saved him from falling.
