Hello Seventh Period!

For your ORB written assignment, I am requiring you to make three postings about your ORB to this blog. You must choose three different options from the "blogging options" handout (on First Class). I am looking for superb commentary, which should make obvious why your ORB "educates your conscience."

Please, adhere to the expectations explained on the rubric (also on First Class).

Happy blogging!

A Separate Peace-Top 10 Memorable Things

Olivia Winton

Top 10 Memorable Things

10. Finny and Gene starting to have a strain on their relationship and them starting to not be so close. (After the fall)

9. Phineas creating the Super Suicide Society over the summer at school and them having regular meetings

8. The war starting to get to the boys and it starting to be a big factor.

7. The “Butt Room” where Gene would go down for a smoke with his friends.

6. Gene wanting to go in to the draft but can’t because he doesn’t want to leave Phineas behind.

5. How Phineas was always able to talk himself out of things. Once, when they were late for dinner, he talked himself and Gene right out of it.

4. Finny training Gene to be the new star of athletics.

3. Phineas and Gene being best friends and inseparable, even though they are complete opposites. Phineas is the sports player, and Gene is the academic scholar. (Before the fall)

2. When Finny broke his leg when he was trying to help Gene climb the tree and fall in to a river. This injury ended his sports career forever, and that was what his whole life was involved in.

1. When Finny fell down the staircase and broke his leg again. He then had to have surgery on it, which ended badly. While the doctor was operating on his leg, some of the bone marrow accidently went in to his bloodstream and went to his heart, killing him.
