discussion and support those judgments
with convincing evidence.
Before we discuss the book, let’s look at our
warm-ups from the last two days:
1.Make two columns to describe Gene and Finny.
 Describe each boy.
 Which boy is the protagonist/antagonist and why?
 List plot events that reveal the characteristics you listed.
 Give textual evidence from chapters 1 and 2 (with page
numbers) to describe these two young men.
2. Find textual evidence (i.e. quotes from the book) that reveals
how Finny and Leper are alike. (Note: Find at least one
quote that shows Finny’s harmonious nature and at least
one quote that shows Leper’s harmonious nature.)

Before we begin a more structured examination of
A Separate Peace, I’d like to spend a bit more time
on your questions, comments and concerns. (Hint:
this is a good chance to impress your teacher at the
beginning of the year, even if you are a naturally
reticent person.)
