#a separate peace tumblr what are ur thoughts on the it's unrelatable argument because personally i think its full of shit

[dykeofmisfortune]

media literacy is dead again for real why did i read a reddit thread on a separate peace and they were like "i felt sympathy for gene at first but not when he MURDERED his friend how could anyone excuse that" first of all. what. also like why is the main critique of the book that it's "unrelatable" to modern audiences because it's about rich white boys in a boarding school during world war II. i'm neither rich nor white nor a man but i found it Extremely relatable because i had a best friend when i was 16-17. i reread it when i miss this best friend i don't talk to anymore. Idk about u but for me meaning can transcend place and time. i'm also a homosexual if that helps
