The author believes that Napoleon won many battles because of his enemies’ mistakes and not because of what he actually was…the greatest military mind that ever lived. I did some research of my own and found out that he is also remembered for his Napoleonic Code and his military campaigns are still taught in some military academies.

Learning from history means to learn from the mistakes of the past. By analyzing what has happened and what went wrong, the same errors can be prevented from happening again. In all of history, World War II and the Holocaust hold some very valuable lessons. They teach of the importance of equality, of aiding others, by being aware of world activities, and of education.

I look at education to be the basis of what world cultures need to be able to communicate and successfully progress the human race. In our current reality, the war in Iraq is the first example that came to mind after starting this book.
The Tree of Knowledge As people get older, they go through experiences and discover things about themselves that they never knew before. Self-knowledge is essential to personal growth. This is evident in the novel, A Separate Peace, by John Knowles. It is clearly shown through the characters Leper, Finny, and Gene, that self-knowledge is important.
