What is the meaning of trust? What does it take for a person to fully, unconditionally trust a person? What can that person do, to change, for you to trust them? Merriam Webster’s Dictionary defines Trust as; the belief that someone or something is reliable, good, honest, effective, etc. And I believe trust is the number one key in healthy relationships. For others, especially in my story, I am still trying to understand their warped definition of that fantastic word, trust.

When you think of trust, what do you think of? In your friendships, how much trust do you have? If you don’t have trust, then you don’t have much. Trust is when you and your friend don’t talk a whole lot, but you know she won’t tell anybody your secrets. Trust also happens in the workplace, when you trust someone to show up for work when they're supposed to.

The gulag is a depressing place filled with cold and pain; there are many who quickly die off and are forgotten because they do not have any way to cope with the prison. But those who survive keep do so by believing in a system of rules which carry them from day to day. These beliefs are not limited to a universal truth, but can be very different and keep different followers alive. Shukov survives through his existentialist philosophy of the world, while Alyoshka has full faith in God and relates everything to his religion. These views are quite different, yet they both end in one thing; survival.

As a human being that believes that trust is one of the most important elements in a relationship, I understand that it can be broken intentionally and unintentionally. Trust is critical to strengthen relationships within a business. It builds the foundation for effective communication and motivation in the organization, but if broken, the chances for the organization to succeed decrease.

Merriam-Webster dictionary definition of trust is “firm belief in the reliability, truth, ability, or strength of someone or something”. Trust can be emotional or logical. I say emotional because when you put trust into someone or something you’re being vulnerable. I say logical because you know the person would behave in a predictable manner.

Trust is very vital in this novel. Everyone has been through so much together that they have learned to trust each other blindly. Which has saved their lives on several occasions. In every chapter there is an example of trust. My favorite trust moment in this book is when Frank hands Leo his piece of wood. Leo made a fireproof pouch for it. Leo has fire powers and the small piece of wood represents Frank’s life force. If it were to burn up Frank would burn up with it. Would you trust your life force with a friend that could break it with just a thought? I know I
