Finny's outlook on the whole situation is very grown up. He did not blame anyone but himself, even though it was not his fault at all. Finny seems as though he will never grow up because he is so immature, with his silly denial of the war's existence, and his habit of always coming up with strange things to do just for fun. Inside he is suffering with the anger and hurt of being excluded from the one thing that he wants to do most, fight in the war. This is an excellent example of how the war suddenly made the boys grow up in ....

these peoples in many regards to their European counterparts, the
importation of slaves into America and their unspeakable travel conditions
and treatment, the callus buildup of the agricultural economy around these
slaves, the discontented colonists whose plight was ignored by the ruling
bourgeoisie, and most importantly, the rising class and racial struggles in

similarity between the two stories. In Fitzgerald's stories, fictional

it is odd, strange, and different, which matches the theme and plot.
Tolkien, like mostly every other author has one main, specific goal
