Um.. Ms. Sue obviously hasn't read the book.
To determine whether Finny's behavior in the snowball fight suggests that his life is governed by strong loyalties or marked by basic dishonesty, you can look for evidence in the book "A Separate Peace" by John Knowles. In this case, you are specifically concerned with Finny's behavior during the snowball fight. Here's how you can approach finding the answer:
1. Start by rereading the section of the book that describes the snowball fight involving Finny. Pay attention to any specific actions, statements, or interactions that give you insights into Finny's character and values.
2. Look for instances where Finny demonstrates loyalty or dishonesty during the snowball fight. For example, does he show loyalty towards his friends by defending them or working together with them? Or does he display dishonesty by betraying or deceiving his friends in some way?
3. Consider how Finny's behavior during the snowball fight aligns with his behavior throughout the rest of the story. Does he consistently show strong loyalties in other aspects of his life, or does he frequently engage in dishonest actions?
4. Analyze the overall characterization of Finny in the book. Does the author portray him as someone who is generally loyal and trustworthy, or as someone who often engages in dishonest behavior?
By closely examining the specific details of Finny's behavior in the snowball fight and comparing it to his general character traits in the book, you will be able to determine whether his behavior suggests strong loyalties or basic dishonesty.
