Part of the process of growing up, the age is a significant and critical point in doing so. In mostly every single teen, who is about to reach their growth, will go through a time called “Coming to Age.” It’s a term for saying a child is growing up from their innocence and becoming more of a mature type. The novel, “A Separate Peace” by John Knowles, presents a high school student, Gene Forrester, going through an extreme “Coming to Age” throughout the story. As Gene continues to grow up, he will find himself doing many things that is far from his innocence: developing mixed feelings and getting into a fight with his crew manager.
