Description

John Knowles' A Separate Peace with the Beatles' "Strawberry Fields Forever"

Living is easy with eyes closed
Misunderstanding all you see
It's getting hard to be someone
But it all works out
It doesn't matter much to me

:bulletblue:This is what Gene think's Finny's always doing at first. Being something he's not to earn the affection of the entire school, all the while not getting, understanding anything. It turns out Finny does misunderstand quite a bit anyway.

No one I think is in my tree
I mean it must be high or low
That is you know you can't tune in
But it's all right
That is I think it's not too bad

:bulletblue:Well, look at the picture. Gene's jumping out after having just shaken Finny out at the end of the fourth chapter. Also, Finny's tone deaf.

Always know sometimes think it's me
But you know I know when it's a dream
I think I know I mean "Yes"
But it's all wrong
That is I think I disagree

:bulletblue:The boys confuse their own identities and purposes with each others' more and more throughout the book.

Special thanks to ~SChedgehogxX. And thank you to *HellzGranny for scanning for me =3
