friend can completely change a person’s outlook on life, change the way they live their life and even help them live their life to the fullest.

I believe that without friendship, most of us would be gone from the world because of depression. Friends are their to support us and make us feel better. My experience in friendship is not a good one nor a bad one. Many of my friends would fight and I would have to stop them. I was usually that friend who would make sure the group would stay happy and ease. An example would be when we had to write a book in 5th grade. I would let my friend, Josefina, read my book anytime she wanted. In the end, I was disqualified because my book sounded to familiar but they didn’t gave me time to explain why. Luckily when Josefina was there to make me feel better. That’s why from this day on, I am thankful I met

Companies make strong relationships with their customers, in turn, customers spend more money buying their wares. Another example is the relationship between parents and children. Two texts that focus on these relationships are; “Only Daughter” by Sandra Cisneros and “Mother Tongue” by Amy Tan. The texts heavily revolve around the familial connection between a parent and a daughter.

These relationships are built around different circumstances and situations. George and Lennie only have each other which creates a better relationship. Romeo and Juliet had large families to support and love them. They grew up surrounded by strong families. When they met violence between the families forced them to choose family or each other. How does one have a strong enough bond after two days to turn away from a family whose has been supporting them throughout their lives?

Even though Romeo and Juliet have a relationship of love and forgiveness, George and Lennie still have the stronger

Do the relationships in ones life define the individual himself or even the fate of that individual or are the relationships a reflection of the individuals characteristics, personality and choices? In the literary masterpieces, King Lear and 1984, the character relationships are the essence of the stories themselves. In each of these pieces, both Winston, the protagonist of 1984, and the major characters in King Lear are put through a series of situations, including isolation and betrayal, in which the relationships with other characters are important to their fate. In almost every instance, the connections between each character when based on love, trust and sex lead to the downfall of one of the individuals or both. Relationships that

It is often said that all good things come to an end. Relationships come and go, and some mean more than others. In fact, there was even a relationship model developed by a communication researcher by the name of Mark Knapp. In his model, he goes through what seems to be presented as a smooth step transition from each stage in which a relationship eventually evolves into. As I studied this up then down ladder model, I began to realize that I ought to build up some strong calf muscles, because my relationship sure has climbed up and down a few flights of stairs. Mark Knapp believes that relationships go through multiple stages, the uphill stages being initiation, experimenting, intensifying, integrating, bonding, then relational maintenance. On the flip side, Knapp believes the descending stages to be differentiating, circumscribing, avoiding, and eventually, termination.

For example, my best friend Taylor and I have been good friends for about a year now. Taylor and I met each other beginning of freshman year through a mutual friend, but never bothered to hang out. As sophomore year approached, I became good friends with Taylor’s roommate. Taylor and I would hang out because I was friends with her roommate, but we never developed a relationship. As time progressed, Taylor and I started to get to know each other through her roommate and we began to hang out. Taylor and I started to realize we were more similar than we thought. We both like to laugh, exercise, go to concerts, shop and listen to the same music. After we started to get to know each other on a safe basis we started to share more personal information with each other as we became closer friends. After we shared personal information with each other, we ended up developing a relationship from someone who was once a stranger to me, to a best friend.
