Many characters are spoken in Leper's book "Independence Peace" and it plays a role in the story. The main characters Gene and Finny are the centers of Phineas' abbreviations, major content of the whole story, and many themes and meanings derived from this book. Elwin Lepellier, also known as Leper-Lepellier, is less visible than Gene and Finny, but the role to play is important to the story. Leper is always one of those who keep their lives and do not want to be recognized.
Elwin 'Leper' Leepierier: Leper is a friend of Finny and Gene, an important member of the Summer Super Suicide Association. He was the first student to join the class. At the latter stage of the novel, Riper joined the army, so I felt spiritual confusion. He is a witness to Jean's "trial" and proves that Gene is the cause of Finnish collapse. All parties allege that this novel suggests homosexuality between the gene and Finney, including those who support homosexual reading novels and those who treat homosexuality as immorality. For example, there is no substantial female character (and a descriptive activity), but this book was challenged as "dirty, useless sexual novel" at New York school district Vernon-Verona-Sherill (1980).
In John Seles' s novel "The Separate Peace", the title has been described in detail several times. The title actually reflects the theme of peace and war. For example, when Gene, Finny, Leper, and their acquaintances are playing the blitzball, this represents their ignorance of what is happening around them. They are not interested in the world, and soon they will face World War II. I believe they know that there is war in the hearts of children, and soon they will experience this war. However, they received some shock because they did not know how much damage outside the school walls were warned. When Leper told Gene about the trouble he had in war, we saw how much real life brought to children after graduating at Devon.
