A Separate Peace ch. 8

11/25/08

"The winter loves me...What I mean is, I love winter, and when you really love something, then it loves you back, in whatever way it has to love"(111).

This quote is significant because it exemplifies the relationship between Gene and Finny, also how Finny is sort of portraying his feelings to Gene. When he says "when you really love something, then it loves you back, in whatever way it has to love," I believe he is saying to Gene that because he likes Gene as a friend, than Gene must like him back. That it doesn't matter what way he does, just the fact that gene appreciates him and likes him back.

what do you think the true war is?(one between the youth and the "fat" men, or an actual war).
