Friendship can be shown through the words of anyone in any form, whether it is short or long, in a simple poem to a complicated novel, even in a simple common book such as, Bridge to Terabithia. The author, Paterson, uses many of reasonable literary elements in her book, such elements encompass: character, plot, setting, theme, style, point of view, and tone.

- Mike Green. Mike Green’s statement about our species, “strength doesn’t come from what you do” references how we love to brag about our talents such as being naturally flexible, naturally athletic, or naturally smart but real strength, “it comes from overcoming the things you once thought you couldn’t.” Adversity, depending in situations forces us to change, even in times when we don’t think we would ever make that decision. Jean “Scout” Louise Finch, from the book “To Kill a Mockingbird”, harbor an important code according to her and that code is to never be a girl. A “girl” to her is someone who is a wimp, a loser, and a snitch. This mindset she has is very deceiving because she is a girl. From these two sentences above, we can say that Scout is very stubborn. However, at the end of the novel, she didn’t mind being a girl. I too, to be completely honest, had a situation where I faced adversity and I was pretty relentless, ignoring the situation and it wasn’t until a year later, it started changing me for the worse or better, I do not know. Most the time, we tend to be stubborn because we don’t like being told what to do. However, adversity can force us to mature therefore changing our identities.
The first way is by trusting your friends. In this novel, Henry and Keiko continually trust each other with certain assignments. Henry needs Keiko to be his friend, and to guide him through the stressful and confusing world. Keiko needs Henry to assist her in getting new supplies in her concentration camp and to have a true friend, and not just a loving family. Henry and Keiko's trust in each other is a extremely meaningful theme throughout the novel. The second way is by being loyal to your friends. Keiko and Henry experience a lot of difficulty, many times where it would have been easier to simply quit and acknowledge the fact that their friendship can never work out. Instead, they find new methods to make their relationship work. Henry is ready to sacrifice his life with his family for Keiko's friendship, and in turn Keiko sacrifices much of her time and the risk of being humiliated by spending time with Henry. All in all, the theme of friendship and self-reliance is presented throughout Henry and Keiko's relationship. There are many characters in this novel, but the main ones are Henry Lee, Keiko Okabe, and Sheldon. Henry Lee is the main character and the protagonist (the leading character or hero). He is a
The theme of friendship courses through Chaim Potok’s book, The Chosen. Potok desires to show the reader what a strong friendship looks like and how it stands up to the test of time. When two people know each other well and spend a lot of time together, there are bound to be misunderstandings, fights, and other trials. Yet God says in His word “As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.” (New American Standard Bible, Proverbs 27:17) Even when friendships are difficult, they can “sharpen” the people involved in the friendship, like in the case of Danny and Reuven. Danny and Reuven’s friendship lasts through Danny’s irrational behavior, Reuven’s outbursts of anger, and Reb Saunders’s absurd beliefs.
Scout shows courage in this book mainly but doing what is right and sticking to her word.
Trustworthiness, dependency, and advices are all valuable ideas that must exist in friendship as it helps realize the importance of a friend. People can acknowledge the worth of each other, and also appreciate from their existence, which can lead to an evolution in their friendships. But it can also be a way to consider the standard of a good friend – a true friend. The author analytically motivates readers to wonder about how much of these values their friendships convey, and by utilizing his conceptual meaning of a true friend, Steinbeck translates that a real friend is whom that you can trust, depend on, and take good advices from. Steinbeck in conclusion, further alludes readers to look back upon their friends, and to consider how many “real” friends are besides them
