Character Sketch
Phineas, in A Separate Peace, strikes me as a typical, sports stud boy who is good at almost everything. Phineas, also known as Finny, gets himself in to some trouble, but he always knows how to talk himself out of it. One night, Finny and Gene and a couple other friends were late to dinner. Mr. Prud’homme was waiting for them to get them in trouble but Finny just worked his magic and got them out of it. “Mr. Prud’homme released his breath with a sort of amazed laugh, stared at Finny for a while, and that was all there was to it” (23). Finny is the person who guys are jealous of in athletics. He is the perfect teenage boy, except for that he struggles in school a little bit. When Finny’s dreams are taken away from him when he breaks his leg both times, he now starts focusing on making Gene be the sports star. He stopped thinking solely about himself, and started to spread his experience.
