SummaryNo matter how hard a person tries, he cannot escape a world exploding with discrimination, violence, and blind hatred. The smell of death permeates the streets as wars rage and the taste of man’s inhumanity lingers in the air. An idealistic individual attempts to shield himself from the evil, constructing a house adorned with beautiful stained glass windows. Why step outside when the inside appears glorious and full of light? He fails to realize that at any given moment, intruders can smash the panes and turn those brilliant colors to the darkness of night. The novel, A Separate Peace, by John Knowles illustrates how harsh realities ultimately shatter lives by creating an impossible burden.
