Jealousy happens everywhere you go. It can happen to kids in school and it can happen to adults at work. Usually when somebody is jealous they go through changes that you can easily notice in them. When people start to get older they get a little jealous of their friends and do things that will hurt them. Jealousy happens to everybody, and it can really damage a relationship between people.
     In the book A Separate Peace by John Knowles the main character, Gene, and his friend Finny are living in a school during a world war. Gene is great in school but Finny is great in sports. As you later read through the story Gene gets a little jealous of Finny. He gets a misunderstanding of his friend Finny and does something that is really cruel. Jealousy led Gene to anger and it effected his friendship with Finny. As you read through the book you can really see the type of person that Finny and Gene are.
     In the beginning of the book Finny was very smart and friendly as a person. He got along with all of the other kids and also Finny too. Later on he starts to notice things about Finny and gets really angry about it. He looks for revenge and does something that changes Finny's life. Some of the people that effect Gene's life are Finny and the other kids they play Blitzball with.
     I remember when I was jealous of my big brother for getting things that i couldn't. I said alot of mean things to him that I didn't mean too. Also as i got older i started to get jealous of some of my friends. I also got more angrier as a person towards people. Jealousy can easily change a person easily.
