Brinker

Description: Brinker plays second biggest role in A Separate Peace. He is a student leader, he is somehow aggressive. He is also a show off and he likes to act like a tough guy so that no one will pick on him. He knows how to manipulate and twist people around to be on the top.







age: Brinker is 16.





Job: Student





Relationship: Brinker is friends with Gene and Leper.



Symbolism: I think Brinker symbolizes Obama because he has a way of speaking to people that gets them on his side, like when tried to get Gene to enlist with him. He also represents Obama because Obaama is a leader and so is Brinker.



Personality:
Brinker is rather strange he makes long-running jokes with rather sinister undertones, he seems very independent and determined, and seems like he's his own person. He is the one who starts enlistment on campus, and then changes his mind by chickening out because Gene won't go with because Finny returns to Devon the next morning. He's a bit of a paradoxical character, and a kind of foil to the rebellious, free-spirited Finny.


Character-Theme-In: The theme I chose for Brinker is Leadership because he is always standing up for himself and he doesnt let anyone boss him around. He is a strong character becuase he is the one who pushes Finny to believe that it was indeed Gene that pushed him off the tree. He's also strength becasue he is not afraid to confront people just like he incouraged Finny about the accident. Bisacly his theme is boldness and backbone, he is leader.
