i can kinda connect to this novel because i get jealous of others sometimes but i don't let it get the best of me

# data[].attributes.body
I couldn't really connect with the book because I am usually not jealous of others and would not find myself in a situation like this.

A separate peace means to me that the boys isolated from the war like a neutral country is separate from the war.

It connects to the story because Gene was unable to figure out at the beginning of the story whether or not Finny was a friend or a foe and it was his ignorant heart that led to his resentment.

# data[].attributes.body
The source of Gene's fear was his insecurities and guilt. His fears are dissolved when Finny dies.

# data[].attributes.body
Gene felt this way because Finny had returned to school and their codependent behavior could continue. Finny trained Gene to run because he could not.

Yes, I think it was odd that he would put on Finny's shirt.  But I understand why he would because he misses his friend and at this point in the story he is beginning to be more like Finny.  He is trying to rid himself of his guilty feelings.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes, because sometimes you are are jealous of your friends and what they have and are codependent on them to go with you places. I have also felt that sometimes as you hangout with someone you become to be more like them.

# data[].attributes.subject
having peace from something you relied on.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that it is odd because he has lost his identity so bad that he is wanting to be like finny.

# data[].attributes.body
cause he could be himself and not have to worry about acting like someone else.

# data[].attributes.body
cause he is being codependent and not being himself.

# data[].attributes.body
It means to me that you don't have to be codependent on someone and become your own person.

# data[].attributes.body
he  puts it on to look like finny because they are both codependent on eachother

# data[].attributes.body
because they are trying to be like each other and they are codependent.

Gene states, “ I could see with great clarity the fear I had lived in, which must mean that in the interval I had succeeded in a very important undertaking: I must have made my escape from it.” What was the source of his fear and how had it dissolved? (p. 10)
