Very early in the novel, the mature Gene talks about those men, "the giants of your childhood," having "become pygmies while you were looking the other way." In chapter 8, when Gene runs the course Phineas has laid out for him, loses himself, and breaks "into the clear," he describes Phineas in a similar manner: "....he [Phineas] seemed smaller too. Or perhaps it was only that I...had felt myself all at once grown bigger." Write a response interpreting what Gene means by those parallell statements using evidence from the text.

Author John Knowles uses forshadowing to prepare readers for what is to come in A Separate Peace. For example, after Leper sees the film about the US ski troops, he says skiing, like everything else, has to "evolve or else it perishes." He adds, "I'm almost glad this war came along. It's like a test, isn't it, and only the things and people who've been evolving the right way survive." In your response, show how Leper's statements foreshadow his own experience with war. Use details from the novel to support your main ideas.
