The discusion about who is ultimently responsible
for Finny’s death could be endless.A couple of
characters that could be thought of for the fault of
Finny’s death are Gene because itfirst started off by
causing Finny to fall from the tree.Then another
character could be anyone that caused him harm.So
blaming these people would just be rediculous.
The person that is responsible for Finny’s death is
Finnny himself.Most wouldn’t blame the victim.One
obvious reason is because people tend to feel sorry for
the victim.But, after going over each and every
character Finny’s name just keeps coming up.
One example is how it took Finny a long time to
admit that there was a war going on.And even a longer

felt that it was necessary to have him die. If Finny
wasn’t as innocent as he was he might have survived.

A Separate Peace
Set at a boys’ boarding school in New England during the early years of World War II, A Separate Peace is a harrowing and luminous parable of the dark side of adolescence. Gene is a lonely, introverted intellectual. Phineas is a handsome, taunting, daredevil athlete. What happens between the two friends one summer, like the war itself, banishes the innocence of these boys and their world.A bestseller for more than thirty years, A Separate Peace is John Knowles’s crowning achievement and an undisputed American classic.
