A Seperate Peace

Devon is a heaven away from the rest of the world. Although the war continues, in Devon state boys are playing around the river, creating new games like lightning without worrying that the boys are younger than them. Devin is very quiet and apart from the battles and losses faced by many people all over the world. And Finney, Jean, and other boys form a special club for their friends. In Devon, boys knew the war and someone began to join them, but the war still did not hit the house.

Many topics have been proposed in the book "Independent Peace", but the most meaningful and bold theme is change. The most obvious changes are the hero's Gene and Finny. At the end of the book, Finny and Gene have changed to different people. Jean's book is no longer the end of the follower, he is not following everyone. He does not depend on others as he used to. He is emotionally safe, and he has many features that Finney has. Conversion is relevant in books. There is no way to avoid changing. Sometimes the change gets better, sometimes getting worse. It is up to the reader to decide whether the change in 'separation of peace' is good or bad.

In John Knowle's "Independent Peace", the main characters Gene and Finny have a unique friendship in chapter 4. According to Weber's dictionary, what is that word? Friendly? It does not mean hostility, you can assume that friends meaning injury or gas contain the characteristics of these friends. But their perfect friendships are slowly changing. As a result, among these changes, he and Winnie constantly competed, decided to die, to swear, to lose their best friends. It can be said that the theme of change is the most meaningful and bold theme in this book. Indeed, the most obvious change is the conversion of the main characters Gene and Finny in Chapter 4.
