A Seperate Peace ch.1

11/14/08

"What was i doing up here anyway? Why did i let Finny talk me into stupid things like this? Was he getting some kind of hold over me?"

This quote is significant because it resembles Finny's persuasiveness. Also i believe this foreshadows further events and struggles between Gene and Phineas in terms of their relationship, that Finny will eventually "take hold over" Gene for the worst.

if your best friend pressured you into doing something would you do it?

Gene:
easily persuaded
smart
trustworthy
worrisome
envious

"For such an extraordinary athlete-even as a Lower Middler Phineas had been the best athlete in the school he was not spectacularly built. He was my height...He weighed a hundred and fifty pounds...which flowed from his legs to torso shoulders to arms and full strong neck..."
Phineas:
brave
self confident
athletic
trouble maker
comforting

"better hurry," "or they'll put you in the guard house."
