Where can you find symbolism emerge in Chapters 6 and 7 of the novel, A Separate Peace?i need one example from symbolism from both chapters a nd if...

In Chapter Five of John Knowles's A Separate
Peace, the Summer Session has ended, a session in which some rules were
suspended and forgotten and the atmosphere was more relaxed.  Now it is the Winter
Session and Gene mentions, "Still it had come to an end" in reference to the summer
term. The Summer Session symbolizes the carefree youth of the boys while the Winter
Session represents the reposibilities of adulthood and the encroaching war. Reinforcing
this symbolism, Gene hears the hymn "Dear Lord and Father of Mankind Forgive Our Foolish
Ways," a song suggestive of the harm that Gene has caused Phineas.  A few of the
teachers are missing, but Mr. Pike returns for the day in his Naval ensign's uniform,
symbolizing the reality of the war, always a symbol of conflict and
enmity.

Later, Gene stops at the footbridge to the two
rivers at Devon; looking upstream, Gene remembers Finny's accident.  But, he remembers
Finny in one of his "favorite tricks" with the canoe.  "Feeling refreshed," Gene goes on
tothe Crew House beside the tidewater river below the dam.  The second river, unlike the
one in which the boys played, suggests the change to a darker
time:

ugly,
saline, fringed with marsh, mud and seaweed.  A few miles away it was joined to the
ocean, so that its movements were governed by unimaginable
factors....

Now in this
chapter and the subsequent ones such as Chapter Seven, Gene feels himself symbolically
out of the freshness and innocence of the water and the Summer Session.  Instead, he has
encountered the ugliness of jealousy and conflict, symbolized the the dirty river; he
finds himself in an uncomfortable position with Quakenbush, who knows nothing about him,
but accuses him of maiming Finny.  Quakenbush's name seems symbolic of what he is, a
repugnant clod, disliked by all.

The heavy snow in Chapter
Seven that "paralyzed the railroad yards, symbolizes the personality problems of Leper,
who himself says, "Well, I'm not going anywhere."  Also, Leper
searches for a beaver dam, symbolizing a search for a desperate attempt to dam the war
and its effect from encroaching into their
world.

When Gene talks with Finny, Finny insists
that he play sports, but Gene perceives the rough, agressive game of football as
symbolic of the actions of war.
