In A Separate Peace, Gene and Phineas were best friends but before they met they were different people. Gene was a very quiet, timid, and a good student. He…

pieces of literature and was able to connect them in a variety of ways. Using Thomas C. Foster’s ideas of “pattern recognition” and a literary lens mentioned in the “Literary Perspective Tool Kit” packet, I was able to connect The Matrix and Dead Poets Society.

He attends a French class that is taught by a terrifying rude teacher. The author talks about the troubles he goes through while trying the learn the language and survive the class.
