    With a friendship as intricate as Gene and Finny"s, it is relatively simple for them to misunderstand one another. In A Separate Peace, there are numerous instances when this occurs, often having undesirable consequences: "Finny had deliberately set out to wreck my studies . . . The way I believed that you’re-my-best-friend blabber!"(45). At this point, Gene misinterprets Finny's genuine behavior and actions, taking them to mean that Gene and Finny were competitors for glory. This misunderstanding, combined with other doubts and pressures on the friendship, leads Gene to do something which he is forever to regret. Finny, on the other hand, does not understand that Gene's academic ability does not just come to him naturally and as easily as his athletic talent does. He does not realize that Gene has to practice and study hard to succeed. Finally, another of Gene's misjudgments of Finny occurs…

But, as a witness to the storm that is life he had a realization that he was not of the common mold. A mind that has intellect but wanted to use only when he felt the subject suited him. A body that was considered below par. A boy turning into a man who was beginning to discuss philosophy, religion, economics, and politics with those older and wiser. Yet, someone who was described as young at heart who joked and was never actually serious. A apparent contradiction of the mind, an old soul, yet young at heart.
