A SEPARATE PEACE

A detailed Summary of A SEPARATE PEACE

It was a hot and humid summer, while World War Two was in progress. The summer holidays was the time when all the friends were together at the Devon School. The students at this school were enjoying themselves either studying, doing leisure activities or just relaxing under the hot sun.

One special group of friends usually played lacrosse throughout the summer but this activity became obsolete with newer things. Phineas the daring athlete told his group of friends to follow him. He led them to a tall tree by the river.

Phineas slowly climbed up the tree, not thinking about the height or the danger of falling from the tree. As Phineas stood on the branch, he jumped cautiously making a sharp dive into the muddy river. He encouraged the others to jump too, but everyone refused from great freight. Then Phineas really pressured Gene

Phineas and Gene were room mates at this all male school and their relationship as friends was getting stronger each day because Gene admired Phineas for his bravery and Phineas admired Gene because he listened to him.

Phineas was against the fighting that was occurring over seas because many young men were dying.

Phineas decided to make a club called the Super Suicide Society of the Summer Session. Every night these members of the club met in a private area and they talked about the next day, sports, but mostly about the war. Further on during the novel Gene became more like Phineas. Phineas was always late for classes and never serious which meant trouble.

The next week Gene went to visit Phineas at the hospital. Phineas didn't feel that Gene was responsible for the fall that he had but Gene felt that he was.
