Peace Breaks Out

Our Needs and Wants: effects on our inner peace Life, in general, has not changed over the years; it is only the surroundings and circumstances that have changed.

In the first few chapters of A Separate Peace alone, Gene Forrester is John Knowles. In the first chapter, Gene is a grown man fifteen years in the future. He describes Devon School in the summer session in 1942. Devon School is rarely mentioned in the book.
