Answer:
This quote of Gene Forrester shows how disillusioned and unrealistic his belief about the great war is.
Explanation:
The given quote is spoken by Gene Forrester in chapter 8 of the book <em>A Separate Peace</em> by John Knowles. The given lines show the disparity of the boys' world and the reality of the world. Amidst the war that was going on in the outside world, the boys are rather more concerned about their rivalry and academic life.
In the given passage, Gene compares World War II with that of an ocean wave, <em>"gathering power and size"</em>. But this shows just how trivial the war seems to him, without realizing the severity of the situation. Their location in Devon was unfazed by the war which had ravaged other parts of the nation. It has <em>"eluded"</em> them, and that it had gone away, without any need to worry about it's return. Gene also expressed his belief that even though the war had hurled <em>"harmlessly overhead, no doubt throwing others roughly up on the beach, but leaving me peaceably treading water as before"</em>, he believes that there is no more harm coming. He did not believe <em>"another even larger and more powerful"</em> wave will follow the one that they have just eluded.

Tom and Nick stopped at the Valley of Ashes to met Myrtle Wilson, Tom's mistress.
Nick feels that he'd been forced to meet her and felt that Tom hadn't even told him beforehand or given him any choice to meet her.
Explanation:
F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel "The Great Gatsby" revolves around the story of Jay Gatsby and his lost American Dream. The novel also focuses on the themes of wealth, social class, love, appearance, and reality, etc. through the characters.
In Chapter 2, Nick recalls how Tom<em> "literally forced"</em> him to met Myrtle Wilson, his mistress. Tom felt that Tom's approach of his<em> "company (is) bordered on violence" </em>and that Tom had the<em> "supercilious assumption [...] that on Sunday afternoon I had nothing better to do."</em> This shows how Nick was unprepared and even maybe felt coerced to meet the woman, despite not expressing any desire to be acquainted with her.
