One of the many themes developed in the novel, A Separate Peace, is fear. Going to war, not excelling in studies, and jumping from a tree are three events that show how fear is portrayed throughout the story.

The playwright was trying to get quite a few messages when he created this play.

We as people get easily carried away in emotions and it drives us to do things we never thought we were capable of. When things do occur it’s hard for us to even want to comprehend that the people we love and trust would do such things harm us, because of that we get tangled up in deception and false truths in order to obtain a peace of mind. This emotion, this feeling was brought about in A Separate Peace by John Knowles, the story took place back in the early 1940’s during World War II in a flashback. I believe this novel brought up many worthy questions of troubles in life and relationships but I think the main one that the whole novel is surrounded by is: What are you willing to do and believe in order to keep the people you love?

The movie came with many emotional sides, seeing his mother (Renee) get raped, how the shock therapy changes the life of his mother and also how he was faced with the addiction to drugs, homosexuality and other trauma in his life. Coquette's self-dramatization made him

Doyle tells the reader that so much is held in a heart in a lifetime and that people are utterly open with no one in the end. As Doyle recalls, “We open windows to each but we live alone in the house of the heart. Perhaps we must. Perhaps we could not bear to be so naked, for fear of a constantly harrowed heart. “From a young age many people dream about this perfect life without pain and heartaches. Once they get older and go through the things that make them question if they should continue letting people in is when they start to close off from the world. After a little while, something small shows up again that has someone hesitating on where their heart is

”You're coming with me. I'm not leaving you this way.” this is what main character's friend told the main character, R.P McMurphy (played by Jack Nicholson), towards the end of the drama One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975) .

The institution that he from the start rather than going to prison tricked doctor's into placing him into. The movie is definitely worth watching because it gives a striking depiction of how a the mind of a mentally stable person can be twisted into something insane by the proceedings that take place in a mental

“People say you don’t know what you’ve got until it’s gone. Truth is, you knew what you had, you just never thought you’d lose it.” -Anonymous”. In other words, what the quote means is that people know what they have, but they just don’t have it in mind that they will lose it someday. Many people out there often do not realize that they can lose someone so close to them as that special someone will forever exist. Without any loss, there is no love. If people do not care to loose someone there was never love to begin with. In the dystopian novel of The Brief and Frightening Reign of Phil, the theme is loss of love. Loss of love is both demonstrated in the novel and as well it is presented in the real world. Loss of love occurs in The Brief

To escape it for a while for is indeed, but based off the two year addition process, readers can struggle with a definite answer of what Tommy and Kathy actually feel towards their life.

Passage #1: "We are too involved in materialistic things, and they don't satisfy us. The loving relationships we have, the universe around us, we take these things for granted" (84). One of the greatest lessons that death has to offer is how to be appreciative of yourself but more importantly, the people and things around you. Morrie has done a great job of demonstrating this through the quote "[you] can go out there, outside any time. You can run up and down the block and go crazy. I can't do that ... But you know what? I appreciate that window more than you do" (84). Through this quote, Morrie shows how his limits do not hinder him

Morrie stresses the importance of focusing on love instead of worrying about the troubles in life. He best summarizes his ideas on love in a few sentences:
