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

Question

'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
-MC

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.
