“Growth is never by mere chance; it is the result of forces working together” – James Cash Penney. Humans naturally want to make connections with one another, whether it is for companionship or growth. Relationships can lead to a positive or a negative outcome in one’s life and it is up to the individual to decide the fate of the relationship. Within these literary works, it comes apparent that there are three types of relationships that can make a difference in one’s life. There are pleasant relationships that can allow for the growth and development for both individuals. There are simple things such as rivalries or forced relationships that can result in the unlikely pairing of individuals which allows for many different
outcomes. Whether it is positive or negative, both parties are affected by this relationship. Due to human nature, not all friendships are built to last forever. With time, you can start to see friends drift apart and their expression can be toxic. It is important when talking about relationships, that it becomes apparent that relationships are not always perfect.
