A Separate Peace
The following paragraphs are from the book "A Separate Peace" written by John Knowles.
Can you tell me what the author is trying to say in these paragraphs
"But I was used to finding something deadly in things that attracted me; there was always something deadly lurking in anything I wanted, anything I loved. And if it wasn't there, as for example wit Phineas, then I put it there myself."-pg 101 (Gene's opinion)
"Your war memories will be with you forever, you'll be asked about them thousands of times after the war is over. People will get their respect for you from that-partly from that, don't get me wrong-but if you can say that you were up front where there was some real shooting going on, then that will mean a whole lot to you in years to come"-pg 199 (Brinker's dad/Mr. Hadley)
