Can people really change as they "come of age"? The book A Seperate Peace is a good way to show this. There are two characters Fineas and Gene. Fineas and Gene are total opposites as children, but are still friends. During this book you sense a silent competition going on between . They are both sort of recklass at one point in the book, but then sort of drift apart. This shows that the two friends are both growing up. People often say that when friends get older they begin to drift apart and go their seperate ways, was that what was happening between this pair of friends?
Gene and Fineas are one heck of a pair of friends. Total opposites that get along perfectly. A lot of people say that kids make friends with everyone, but as poeple get older its harder to make friends. This book explains a lot of growing up and making and losing friends. You get to hear the story of Gene and Fineas when they're oyunger and as adults. This shows how they acted when they were younger and how they act and what they have to say in response to the things they did.
Changing as a person is a lot different than changing in looks. A person can grow taller and prettier or uglier but that doesn't matter. What metters is how the person changes on the inside. Some say that people never changes, but they obviosly do because how to people become mature and act like grownups? I love this book because it actually explains the changes from childhood to adulthood. It shows the difference between how different people change in different ways.
In this story you can actually see the difference of how the boys think and act as they grow up and change as people. I keep thinking of how i want to be when I grow up but then I think back, can I tell myselfand then just be that person? Or does it just happen? I wont know until I come of age. :)
