Abuse is described but the novel’s recurrent and most stirring images of a cave. These include when Plato illuminates the cave which Maria had suppressed from the thoughts of childhood memories. Maria’s family was located in Greece. However, a cave in a beach in Nigeria gave her an enduring scar in her emotions and her physical (Emmerich, 25-35). To fight this feeling, she avoided sharing with any person and kept it to herself. When Anna comes into Maria’s life, she indirectly and directly rustles this part of Maria’s life. Maria is no longer hiding in her emotional cave anymore.

The novel also illustrates other forms of abuse in the political backdrop. The two friends Anna and Maria are known to have grown during turbulent times in the history of Greece. There are shadows described during this reign of brutal dictatorship which was following them. There is also a gaze of communism which was ahead. Greece is known to be at a state of both ideologically and politically. Although politics have been known to motivate the actions of this book, the movements that the two friends were involved in explains how they suffered from AIDS epidemic which threatened to stifle the liberties. The two friends fail to overwhelm the actions, and they bog down the readers with personages, facts, and details which were not very necessary.

In this novel, the experience of intimately and viscerally earthquake results into aftershock through the emotional and physical landscape. Protests take Antigone’s life, the shoot-outs experiences in Attic Highway leaves Maria without a friend. The bonds, the influence, and the bonds are the main purposes illustrating the events that take place leading to their disappearance (Emmerich, 25-35). The layers described of cultural, political and interpersonal suffocation are present to all people. However, Anna breaks a clear conclusion which was told through indirect means of obituaries and clips. They suggest that Maria will never be a victim of circumstance after all. Although she was alone and tried to be in line with what her close people wanted her to be like, she was made to feel inferior during this process.

The relationship between the duals is also described to be abusive considering that the two friends had different views of most issues in their lives. Consequently, abuse is described in their marriage lives. Through these instances, the author has successfully described abuse in the novel.

Are we only what we learn from the agents of socialization or can we beat the odds stacked against us? The agents of socialization are some of the most influential situations that occur in our lives. They are our families our schools our peers and the mass media. Family is there to nurture the young child and provide for basic need and to teach values and beliefs. School comes along to enhance our world as we encounter those who are different then we are and where we start to learn that social attitudes and behaviors are vastly different by class and status.

So who am I and how did I get here? I am a survivor of a dysfunctional family where physical and sexual abuse was normal and emotions we never to shown. I was raised by a father who due to his past and his army carrier led the home with an iron fist. My mother was an emotionless cold woman who I don’t believe know what it was to nurture a child. I was the youngest of 5 and as I would finds out later in life, a mistake according to my parents.
Topic: friendship

School, a place I thought I would be able to use as an escape from my family. Nothing could have been further from the truth… I, as I would learn from the other kids, came from the wrong side of the track. This was all the information they needed to bully me about every little thing possible. My clothes, my hair, my weight, and the fact I was poor and so on. Teachers even treated those of us who were socially out cast differently. 2nd grade I was mocked in front of the entire class because I was not able to read. I was put in a class for “special” kids which just made life through school very difficult. By the time Jr. High came around I was the weird loner kids that people would mock in the hallways. The bullying so bad I was taken out of school and taught at home. Of course this made it difficult to obtain any real friends.

Friends were few and far between. The ones I did have were the outcasts just like me. We were poor and from the same area. The consensus between us was to escape the reality of the world around us. One can imagine that led to a lot of drinking, drug use and sex. So throughout my teen years and early twenties my life was pretty much a drug induces come that I wasn’t able to get out of till the day I found out I was going to be mom. A couple other girls I hung out with found themselves in the boat but unlike them, who ether had abortions or gave their babies away; I let the little creature grown in me to change my life fever. Nine month later I found myself a single mom with no friends. I now face a world where being a single mom was widely look down upon.
Topic: friendship

Mass media would make me fight to prove that as a single parent I would subsume to be just another statistic. If one was to solely listen to the media than you would come to the conclusion that children raised by single a parent were more likely to end up is the same situation as the parents. They were more likely to drop out of school and not go to college. They were more likely to end up being young single parents and they were far more likely to end up using alcohol and drugs. And abuse amongst single parents on their kids was a higher risk factor as well. No. I was not going to just become a statistic.

I still suffer from PTSD and anxiety but I learned what I need to do to keep myself in the place I am in right now. I am proud to say that because of my drive to fight what these agents of sociology tried to make me I beat the odds.

It shows the value of them being a friend and how dedicated they are to you. Loyalty keeps a friendship going and plays a very important role. A true loyal friend will never betray you regardless of the circumstances. It’s important for a friend to display loyalty as one of the most prized qualities to help bind the friendship together. You can’t expect someone to give you loyalty if they can’t be honest or trust you. Even when friends disagree, you will still tell them the truth about the situation.
Topic: friendship

Friends. Are people that someone could identify with as loving, caring, trustworthy, and understanding. People tend to adapt to others once they have known them for a long period. They grow with experiences and commitment as does any relationship. Unlike having siblings, friends are people that are chosen to get to know, that someone would like to surround themselves with. Siblings are forced upon with no option of wanting to know them or not. People tend to grow up in the same house as their siblings, share the same parents, and live together at one certain point or another.
Topic: friendship

There are three different kinds of friends in this life. I classify them according to how well I know them and how well they know me. We encounter each of them every day, whether in school, home, or at the gym. However, we rarely spend much time thinking about and classifying these people. First, there are the “pest friends” general acquaintances. Next, there are “guest friends” social partners. Lastly, we have “best friends” our true friends.
Topic: friendship

The first type of friend is simply an acquaintance. This means that there are limited things known about this friend. This person does not hold a memorable face if one is a way they might not even remember what they look like if away for a short vacation. Usually, they meet these types of s of friends in school, at work, on the bus, in the gym, or anywhere else you might be. Normally people would not mind having a cup of coffee with them, but if anything else came up, it generally is not a big deal when they feel the need to leave or cut the meeting short.
Topic: friendship

The second kind of friend is “guest friends”, this is typically the people to call when going out for what is called a “girls night out”. Typically they meet up with these friends at the location and at the end of the night they go their separate ways. These sorts of friends don’t talk to each other often and typically do not confine in them, they’re almost as if they are distant acquaintances. These are the types of friends to call when bored and when closer friends are busy at work, with family, or out of town. These friends are what I call fillers, they fill in the spot of the best friend when they are unavailable. It still provides for a good time but once the fun is over it may become awkward. Since these friends aren’t very close it may be hard holding a conversation with them. This way once the night is over, they tend to go their separate ways.
Topic: friendship

Friends are one of the pleasures of life and spending time with them can make the person happy. Yet, no one can spend all of their time with their friends because they have work and responsibilities. Even in their free time, many people find it tiresome to spend a lot of time with their friends. There are types of people, however, who cannot spend a minute alone and they should always be with someone, especially friends. Personally, I find solitude more inspiring and peaceful although I am a social person and have a lot of friends.
Topic: friendship

The most powerful argument for solitude is that it is a chance for reconsidering our decisions and how we live. When we are alone, most of our day comes back to our mind like a movie and it is the best time to evaluate everything. This way we consciously reinforce the good parts and try to change the bad ones. For example, if we have a fight or a strong argument during the day, we can recall the incident and try to judge the whole situation objectively without strong emotions.
Topic: friendship

On the other hand, many people prefer to spend the bulk of their time with their friends. they think that this is their way of interacting with the world and getting the best of it. In their point of view, being alone is meaningless and sometimes harmful. To them, being a member of society means to socialize, and this entails meeting with people and doing activities with them. In addition, people who spend a lot of time alone are in danger of depression or more serious psychological problems. This is why they spend most of their time with their friends.
Topic: friendship

In conclusion, there is beauty in being with friends and having fun together. But wasting time like that is not good. We can plan for the future and achieve many valuable things we are alone. The opposing party has a point also when they think it can cause depression. To have a compromise between them we say that it is not favorable to spend too much time alone doing nothing. So, if you can do something useful when you are alone, go for it; otherwise, it is better to spend your time with your friends.
Topic: friendship

There are two types of friends we meet in our social life: True friend and False friend. A true friend is a brother from another mother, supports me in making the right decisions, and protects me from any harm, also a true friend is honest with me; our relationship is characterized by absolute trust, we share the disappointments, achievements, and secrets. But a fake friend is like shadows: always close to me in our brightest moments, but not seen in the darkest moments.
Topic: friendship

There is difficulty in distinguishing between real and fake friends. I think I have real friends, but in reality, they do not have the characteristics of true friends. We all have many friends, but there should be only one friend we trust. From the sayings of Imam Ali: “Beware of your enemy once and your friend a thousand times”, so a false friend is more dangerous than an open enemy. Francis Bacon had taken up all the points and sum up all of them in one sentence that, “A false friend is more dangerous than an open enemy”.
Topic: friendship

Although they may be friends now, they can turn into enemies at any moment. Sometimes a friend can be fake. You are always attentive to the actions of your enemies and are ready to defend yourself from any attack, emotionally or physically, from them. There is no curtain on emotions and weakness in front of friends, we are completely open to them and if these friends turn out to be fake so they can hurt us deeply, then the wounds that last a lifetime. Don’t be afraid of the enemy that is attacking you, but the fake friend who embraces you! Every person must have suffered betrayal from one of their friends at least once in their life. It’s that painful strike, right through your spine causing a ferocious flurry of feelings to come bursting out; anger, sadness, betrayal.
Topic: friendship

Being attacked by an enemy is expected but from a friend, that’s just incomprehensible. So, in truth friends can end up being your greatest enemies but not all friends are like that though. Honesty and trust are two ways street. So, in order to ensure that your friends are loyal to you, you need to show them your loyalty. Such like we have seen this in the article that a friend is no more a friend when he starting using you for their own benefits while you were trusting them and when you need their support they are not there which can cause you to harm more and more badly you thought. So, I believe in this quote after reading the whole article.

The common phrase “A dog is man’s best friend.” might be true, but dogs are not the only animal friend whose companionship people enjoy. Cats also share a great connection with people as well. Cats are better than dogs better they are cleaner, they are quiet, and also they cost less for vet bills and necessities. The first reason why cats are the superior pet over dogs is that cats cost less to take care of for annual and medical costs.
Topic: friendship

The annual cost for felines is around $450 which is largely different from the $660 annual cost for canines. Cats aren’t better simply because they need lower annual and medical fees, but also because cats don’t require the maximum amount of upkeep as dogs do. Part of the maintenance of a cat is to refill his or her food and water dishes once every 24 hours. Owners that have indoor cats have an easier time cleaning out the pet’s litter box and are only required to clean for just one or two days also.
Topic: friendship

Show them a box of litter and they will use it. Dogs can take a way longer time to train and it is often tons messier if they’re not learning properly and are messing up the house and you are constantly cleaning it up all the time. Dogs like to get messy and play, which causes an enormous mess once they enter the house. Cats are all about personal hygiene! They groom themselves plenty and daily. You don’t have to bathe a cat unless something unexpected happens and your cat needs help in washing themself. In contrast, take a dog for a get into winter and you’re likely to possess a serious bathing session on your hands immediately on return to home. I’ve seen dogs covered in mud and it’s not a great feeling when you’re washing them. Most dogs love stuff that smells bad. From trash to mud, to poop and they really like to play in it.
Topic: friendship

As a result, dogs need a proper routine for bathing and grooming, which may get very expensive if you’re taking your dog to the groomer. Cats are basically self-cleaning machines. They use their tongue to lick and comb through their fur and dig out dirt with their teeth. They clean themselves with their paws with saliva and use them to clean out their faces and unreachable places. When people come home from a long day of work all they want to do is relax, take a nap, and watch TV. For example, let’s say a person comes home from a tiring day of work and needs to relax. They finally get comfortable when their dog hears a sound outside or sees another dog and starts barking uncontrollably but cats keep any feelings and urge to themselves.
Topic: friendship

Cats are much quieter pets than dogs especially during times after you want to sleep or relax. They don’t disturb you when you’re trying to concentrate. When cats see something dangerous or odd, they run away. Unlike dogs, they bark at things that are new. Cats only take action when it’s necessary to and that they don’t charge at people as much as dogs do whenever they are approaching something new and strange. Cats are very good at meeting new people and making friends. Cats aren’t afraid of people, but dogs bark loudly and try to battle new people they encounter.
Topic: friendship

There is no room for deep conversation, so I just talk about my problem with my best friend’s girl. She gives me some good advice every time I talk to her. Second is the frequency of contact. In male friendships, without having contact with a friend for months or even years, they still consider his friend as a close friend. They do not think that they need to stay in touch to discuss all the things about his live all the time. In contrast, females tend to have regular contact with their close friends all the time. They assume that they have grown apart if they do not stay in touch and no longer in the friendship.
Topic: friendship

For example, is my high school mate, I kinda feel like I do not know my best friend’s girl anymore because we have not talked for a while. The third is a type of issue discussed. Male conversations usually deal with common things rather than a deep feeling. They usually joke a lot and more casual than females. Male friendships do not open up about personal details. Unlike the male, female conversations are all about the details of their lives, from their love lives, family problems, career, etc. Female friends are like an open book, they talk about everything and tend to act more mature to solves her friends’ problem. Sometimes they tend to be more emotional and dramatize everything. For example, when I hang out with my sister or my best friend (who is a girl) we can talk about anything from our love to food to the issues of technology. Unlike with my sister, when I with my brother we always joke around with each other and rarely talk about a serious problem.
Topic: friendship

Not only differences, male and female friendships also have similarities in terms of having fun in hanging out, give support, and common interest. The first one is both male and female friendships having fun in hanging out. Both males and females enjoy doing fun things and like to hang out. They can hang out with you and show you a good time. They tend to take your mind off of things you do not want to think about. For example, my friend and I can have some fun and do some things like going to a cinema or just hanging around talking in my room. Second, both male and female friendships can give support to each other very well. They feel the same pressure to each other if their friend has a problem and tend to give support to them. For example is when I have a problem with my parents, the only one I can talk to is to my friends. Both male and female can understand me and be there for me. The third is a common interest. Both male and female friendships have their own common interest. Without interest, there is no friendship. There are the things that they compete at such as looks, sports, games, and just about everything that they like. For example, is my brother with his friends, they are always competing with each other in which the football team is the best.
Topic: friendship

In conclusion, male and female relationships are different yet similar in many ways. We can see the differences between male and female friendships in terms of the level of intimacy, the frequency of contact, and the types of issues discussed. The similarities in terms of having fun hanging out, give support, and common interest. All in all, we all need friends, whether it is male or female. They are both have their own good and bad. You can have both of them, if you do not want all the drama and just hang out you can do it with your male friends. Also, if you want to talk about your deep feelings then you can talk to your female friends.
Topic: friendship

Imagine that you have a friend who always tells you that they are your friend, but they never really treat you like one. This person always puts you down and makes you feel bad about yourself. All you needed was a true friend, and with every second, they proved to be the exact opposite, just like what happened in John Steinbeck’s Of Mice and Men. In the book Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck, a character named Lennie had a friend just like that named George, and because Lennie did not realize that George had a negative effect on him, George eventually got rid of Lennie by killing him.
Topic: friendship

First, a true friend should be someone’s understanding. If a friend is understanding, they will never make fun of you for having a different mind, way of thinking, etc. Instead, this person would accept you. Another part about having a friend that is understanding is that they are good listeners. They are good listeners because when you go through something difficult, they understand, and show their affection by listening to what you have to say. They will give you someone to talk to, help you relieve your stress, and limit the pressure put on you.
Topic: friendship

They will show it by never talking badly about you, never judging you for anything, and defending you when you need a shoulder to lean on. Another part about having a friend that respects you is that they will never violate your rights. They will never call you names, or make you feel bad. They will never commit an act of violence against you. They will also never take your things without asking, or damage your possessions. Last, a true friend should be someone loyal. They will never leave you to be with the “popular kids”, or because they just lose interest in you. They will always be there to catch you if you fall and will put you right back on your feet. Even they get into a fight with you, they will feel bad and immediately make it up with you, because they are loyal.

George was an untrue friend to Lennie was because George was not understanding, respectful, or loyal. First, George never understood Lennie as a true friend would have. Lennie had some mental challenges that he could not control. He needed someone who would understand him. Instead of George understanding that Lennie could not control his mental state, George denied believing he had such difficulties. This put a lot of stress on Lennie because he was always trying to make George happy by trying his best to overcome his mental challenges, but he always failed. On top of all this, Lennie had no one to talk to, which made it even harder to deal with his stress of always trying to please George. To prove that George was not understanding, in the book Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck, George says, “ Used to have a h*ll of a lot of fun with ‘im. Used to play a joke on ‘im ‘cause he was too dumb even to know he had a joke played on him. I had fun. Made me seem God da*n smart alongside him.” (p. 40)
Topic: friendship

This shows how Lennie chose not to understand George, but to use and make fun of him. Second, George never respected Lennie as a true friend would. George was always telling him to grow up, was always swearing at him, and calling him inappropriate names, thus making Lennie feel bad about himself. Also, the fact that George betrayed Lennie by exposing him, and killing him shows that he disrespected Lennie. George violated Lennie’s right to live! Third, George was not loyal to Lennie like a true friend would have been. George told Lennie to go hide by the bush if he got into trouble, and when Lennie got into trouble, George decided to expose and kill Lennie. To prove that George was not respectful or loyal to Lennie, in the book Of Mice and Men, Steinbeck narrates, “And George raised the gun steadied it, and he brought the muzzle of it close to the back of Lennie’s head. The hand shook violently, but his face set and his hand steadied. He pulled the trigger. The crash of the shot rolled up the hills and rolled down again. Lennie jarred and then settled slowly to the sand, and he lay without quivering.” (p. 166) This shows how unloyal George was to Lennie by violating Lennie’s right to live.

Satisfaction in relationships with friends is an important part of our life. Friendship is when people want to be together, when they are interested in each other and trust each other. Friendship is more than a pleasant company; it is a closeness of interests. Real friendship is a deep, sincere relationship that includes a whole range of emotions, and our interactions with these people make our life better. There is nothing better than being able to surround yourself with friends with common interests, and complementary personal qualities, whom you trust, and who are understanding.
Topic: friendship

Sometimes different people get together and become good friends. Why are different people attracting each other? Friends might be opposites, but they are together because they complement each other even though they may have different personal qualities. For example, my best friend is a quiet introvert while I am loud and lively; my friend is methodical, while I am spontaneous. We are complete opposites, but our friendship is working great. We may love our friends because sometimes we are different and because we are similar at the same time.
Topic: friendship

Trusting lets us feel comfortable and protected. When people may trust their friends, they may share their plans, their feelings, and their everything: problems, successes, achievements. In true friendship friends can talk openly and receive respect. Perhaps it is the personal privacy being protected that makes a very important connection between people. When I was a student, I had a very good friend. We met at university and spent a lot of time together. We could talk about our life, about our future, and we were not afraid to share our feelings and to be ourselves. It is very important when somebody has a friend, and they can trust each other.
Topic: friendship

Having a good friend who supports and understands us is important in our life. Our friends understand us and share our laughter and our tears. Our good friend is a deep mutual understanding of each other. This means close friends are able to communicate with each other almost without words. When my best school friend had a hard time in her life, she could come and spend time with me. She talked to me, opened her heart, cried on my shoulder; and I just listened to her sometimes for a long time. I listened, listened, and listened. Sometimes it was hard to give advice, but she knew I could understand her feelings. It is so important to understand your friend, and more important when your friend can understand. Mutual understanding helps friendship to live, strengthens our life, and helps our friends to live.
Topic: friendship

I remember a beautiful line from a child’s song: “The river starts from a small streamlet, but a friendship starts from a smile.” It is right. Usually, people meet, get acquainted, communicate, and become friends, maybe become a best friend for a long time. It is not easy to find real friendship. That is why it is so important to build and keep relationships that are based on understanding and trust. A true friend or a best friend is one of the precious possessions in our life. Friendship is important because the human being needs friends with common interests, needs friends for understanding and trust, even when friends have completely different characters. Someone said, “A friend is one that knows you as you are, understands where you have been, accepts what you have become, and still, gently allow you to grow” (“Unknown Quote”). And I truly agree.
Topic: friendship

This understanding takes time. Besides expectations are always two-sided, having low expectations ensure the same from others, one of the drawbacks of starting a friendship with higher expectation is that every step, you start judging the person and his action. There is a constant dialogue going on your mind where you are trying to judge the person is fitting into your definition of a friend. stop being judgemental if you are too judgemental you might focus only on the negatives and miss out on some of the finer qualities your friends might poses.

Always give them another chance. see them with neutrality. That way you can start a relationship from an absolutely new perspective, like painting on a clean Canvas. what you paint is up to you what do paint is the up to you another golden rule is to have no pre convinced notation about either the person or the relationship what the relationship should involve should be determined by the experiences two people share and not by fixed definition that prevents. The relationship could be an intense one or it could be just a casual friendship where both people have the same idea of fun.
Topic: friendship

If you don’t start with a fixed notation, the freedom in the relationship helps to grow and explore. Communication is important in any relationship and especially in friendship, it is important to communicate clearly what you are feeling. honest communication leads to the right expectations. always speak frankly about the way you feel. This ensures that your friend understands you for who you are and not in not the image that one might have created in his/her mind. It also ensures that there is complete acceptance and trust in the relationship. The more acceptance there is, the easier it to trust. Eventually, trust is the basis for any strong relationship. But to develop trust you need to communicate clearly and be non-judgmental make sure you do your best to mature the friendship

“Lennie!” he said sharply. “Lennie, for God’ sake don’t drink so much.” Lennie continued to snort into the pool. The small man leaned over and shook him by the shoulder. “Lennie. You gonna be sick like you was last night” (Steinbeck 3). This portrays friendship because George is concerned about Lennie’s health. George being there with Lennie affects him because if he wasn’t no one would be there to look out for him.

But not us! An’ why? Because… because I got you to look after me, and you got me to look after you, and that’s why.” He laughed delightedly. “Go on now, George!” (Steinbeck 14).

S’pose he took a powder and just ain’t coming back no more. What’ll you do then?” (Steinbeck 71). This causes Lennie to tense up, “Suddenly Lennie’s eyes centered and grew quiet, and mad. He walked dangerously toward Crooks. ‘Who hurt George?’ he demanded.” (Steinbeck 72). Lennie is showing how he cares for George by asking Crook who hurt him. By what Crook said impacts, Lennie, because with the absence of George he would have no one to be with him.

From article by Dr.Irene S.L (2011), the friendship doctor, it is stated that friends can support our efforts to grow. Friends typically see strengths in us while the other people unable to recognize ourselves. Friends give us the encouragement and spirit to try something new or do something better. Albert Camus (1957) found, “Do not walk behind me, I may not lead. Do not walk in front of me, I may not follow. Just walk beside me and be my friend”. As a friend, we must always beside our friend and supporting each other.

Sutherland shows that it does not matter what situation one is in, one should always stick up for another. Sutherland’s imagery of fierce defense among the dragonets exemplifies the significance of fortification among friends.

Undoubtedly, one of the most valued and admirable relationship is that of a true and loyal friend. In my opinion, if one is fortunate enough to come across a person that is unquestionably reliable and trustworthy and they have found themselves a valuable friend. In order to reciprocate this friendship, one must actively consider the ways in which this relation can be continuously nurtured. In order to maintain a friendship, we must first begin with being loyal and trustworthy with one another, respecting each other’s opinions and beliefs, and be willing to set aside our egos.

Lastly, the inability to cast aside our individual egos can be detrimental to a friendship. Pride and arrogance must be willingly illuminated when your friendship reaches some sort of disagreement or trial. For example, admitting one’s mistake avoiding unnecessary confrontation over trivial matters can mend and foster existing friendships. On the other hand, an ego that prevents one to except his or her mistake constrain a true friendship. One must not be selfish by refusing to acknowledge and apologize for the Falls they personally made. Instead in a friendship, one should be willing to accept their mistake and apologized simply for the sake of strengthening and maintaining that bond.

In conclusion, if friendship is nurtured by an established level of loyalty, and trust, a mutual respect between those involved, and ability for both individuals to be able to set aside the Eagles.

From the time of Aristotle (384-322 BCE) , the notion of friendship and even the term friend have fascinated philosophers. Aristotle, a famed philosopher himself, opine that ‘Without friends, no one would choose to live, though he had all other goods.’ (Aristotle, and Ross. 2016: 307) In elaboration, every man seems to be quite iffy when the term ‘loner’ is discussed at length. A loner is in his essence someone without any friends or even acquaintances and humans as species has all the right to be suspicious of someone who is outside the norm of sociality since homo sapience are social creatures.

In Like manner, Aristotle fancied that there were three forms of friendship, namely, ‘utility based,’ ‘pleasure based’ and ‘complete’ or ‘perfect’ friendship. The final form a friendship may take what other may call ‘true’ friendship. Now, every companionship starts of as either a utility based on, i.e. classmates, or a pleasure based one which in most cases is based on a mutual interest. This cannot be truer in an era where promiscuity runs rampant and fandoms are more easily accessible with the help of the internet. Thus, Aristotle’s distinction of the different types of comradeship may give us a clue to why Mr Holmes and Dr Watson’s companionship is still going strong. Some even argue that it can all be boiled down to their friendship being a model we wish to reflect ourselves in or simply that we all seek to find a ‘true’ friend in life. Someone we can see as ‘a second self.’ (Cercio. 2018: 36)

The idea of a perfect friendship brings us back to Aristotle who descripts this reflection as ‘another self.’ (Aristotle, and Ross. 2016: 365) Yet, another prominent figure who touches on the same subject is Michel de Montaigne (1533-1592) who writes as follows: ‘If a man should importune me to give a reason why I loved him, I find it could no otherwise be expressed, than by making answer: because it was he, because it was I’ (Montaigne and Cotton. 2016) Thus, when searching for someone to mirror ourselves we look not to find a friend who is too much like ourselves but rather someone who can challenge us. In short, someone who has the qualities we lack. But then again, many say that ‘opposites attract’ and thus one may question oneself why Mr Holmes and his arch-enemy Mr James Moriarty are not the best of friends. In their case if following Aristotle’s logic for friendship which states that in order for a friendship to flourish one needs ‘mutual goodwill and virtue.’ (Aristotle, and Ross. 2016) These two pillars of friendship which Mr Moriarty lacks greatly even though he is as intelligent as Mr Holmes.

Authors are able to make an impact on their readers and influence the way in which they comprehend and conduct themselves in the world. They achieve this by incorporating into their writing, themes that withstand the tests of time and hold true through generations. A theme is a message about life that an author wants the reader to understand. Author, Louis Sachar, brings to light the theme of friendship in his novel ‘Holes’. Friends have the ability to keep us mentally and physically strong, they help us weather lonely times and they improve the quality of our lives.

He had held onto the metal blade of the shovel, keeping it in place as Stanley climbed.” (pg.: #) This display of mental and physical strength is a metaphor for the role friends play in life. Zero bleeds for Stanley when he holds the blade of the shovel to lift Stanley and then Stanley carries Zero when he is no longer able to stand. The boys characterise the theme of friendship as they sacrifice for one and other. The importance of mental and physical strength is a concept that is still relevant in modern society.

Secondly, a strong friendship can help us to weather lonely times. Friends may not completely cure loneliness but they can teach us how to accept kindness and reach out when we need help. The friendship between Stanley and Zero begins to flourish when Zero helps Stanley to dig his hole after the sunflower seed incident. This act of kindness from Zero softens Stanley and in return he offers to teach Stanley to read. “I’ll teach you to read if you want,” Stanley offered. “I don’t know if I know how to teach, but I’m not worn out today, since you dug a lot of my hole.” A big smile spread across Zero’s face.” (pg.: #) Zero’s smile at hearing Stanley’s offer symbolises the theme of friendship. Camp Green Lake is a challenging place and the two boys find comfort and support in each other. Throughout the story, Stanley and Zero confirm the power of friendship as they hep one and other work through difficulties in a lonely environment. Both boys grow and transform as a result of the comradeship, respect and faith that they have for each other. Even in contemporary society, where social media keeps us connected with multiple people, we can appreciate the importance of having even one special person who truly knows and understands us. A special bond like this can be the key to coming out of loneliness.

Lastly, great friendships definitely improve the quality of our lives. Friends can change our value system and as a result we learn how to inject more meaning into our lives. While Stanley and Zero stay at Big Thumb, doing well after their incredible escape from camp Green Lake, Stanley has time to reflect on his new feelings of happiness. “As Stanley stared at the glittering night sky, he thought there was no place he would rather be. He was glad Zero put the shoes on the parked car. He was glad they fell from the over pass and hit him on the head.” (pg.#) Stanley’s values and beliefs are beginning to change. He is able to acknowledge that he is glad Zero put the stolen sneakers on the parked car. Stanley is able to make the connection that it was this action that resulted in him meeting and bonding with Zero. For the first time in his life, Stanley has a

Overall, Louis Sachar’s message to us, in his novel ‘Holes’ is that we are all deserving of friends. Stanley learns that he is a good person who deserves to have friends. He learns that the friendship he made with Zero finally made him feel good about himself and his life. Even in modern society we can appreciate that true friendships have the power to give us strength, make difficult times more bearable and generally make our lives better. We should treat our friends well and always be loyal and honest with them.

An Irishman referring to an Englishman as his friend at the time that the play is set was very extraordinary as many Irishmen were bitter due to the English take-over of Ireland and therefore Owen’s comment shows how he is perfectly suited for his role as the translator; he is neither pro-Ireland nor pro-England and acts as mediator between the two sides. A character that does not resist the prejudice views of his country is Captain Lancey, an English soldier that invades Ireland along with his men.

Brian Friel effectively builds up Captain Lancey’s character, as he did Hugh’s, by letting other character’s opinions and encounters with Captain Lancey to influence their opinion of him before he even appears in the play. One example of this is when Hugh is talking to his students about Lancey. Hugh tells his students the horrifying fact that Lancey does not speak a word of Latin or Greek, he only, ‘ speaks – on his own admission- only English; and to his credit he seemed suitabley verecund ‘
