In the book A Separate Peace, you need to climb the tall tree by the river and jump out of it to belong to the "suicide society" that Gene and Finny make up. They expand the name to "The Super Suicide Society of the Summer Session" as they discuss it.
Jumping from a tree
Charles Kinbote, the narrator of Vladimir Nabokov's novel "Pale Fire," comes up with the final name The Super Suicide Society of Summer Session. He mentions it as a dedication to John Shade, the author of the poem within the novel.
I know he was in the Golden Fleece Debating Committee. As well as the The Super Suicide Society of the Summer Session.
Gene and Finny form the "secret society" with reference to the daunting jump from a tall tree branch into the river.
The Super Suicide Society of the Summer Session
The Super Suicide Society of the Summer Session is a secret society that Gene and Finny create after they were swimming in the river. Gene sees the big tree and asks Finny if he is still afraid of the tree. He answers no and this is what lead to the society. They both get up on the tree limb and jump off into the river. Gene almost falls off the limb but Finny saves him. In order to get into this society, you must jump into the river from the tree branch. It is because of this that Finny gets into his big accident.
It is a "secret club" established by Gene and Finny that includes those willing to make a dangerous jump from a tree into the river. Of the original group dared, only Gene does the jump, after some goading by Finny.
One example of dramatic irony in A Separate Peace is when the reader knows that Gene caused Finny's fall from the tree, but the characters in the novel do not. This creates tension and suspense as the truth is slowly revealed to the characters throughout the story, leading to a dramatic climax.
In the book 'A Separate Peace,' Brinker and Finny's personalities match up well with the two seasons. Brinker is serious and sad like winter can be, while Finny is fun and happy-go-lucky like the summer.
