Question

This is my last exam, and I'm done with English!

'At different times in A Separate Peace the weather seems to signal a change in the atmosphere of the action. Make a list of three specific weather descriptions from the novel; Use chapter references along your description. Then, list the corresponding action in the plot.'

I got one:
Weather Description- "In the air there was only an edge of coolness to imply the coming winter.
Plot Developments- Things have changed at Devon, but it's as if Gene and Finny are in a holding pattern. The ease of the summer session is gone, but the horrible events that follow in the winter are still a far way off.

Pleaseee help me!
Thanks

Read the first section in the Symbols section.

Then go back through the book and note the places when the author includes shifts in weather or mentions seasons.
