Antoine De Saint-Exupery’s Fantasy story, “Le Petit Prince,” takes place in five different settings: The asteroid that he lives on, asteroid B-612, the Sahara desert, an unknown city, a field where its location is unknown, and the other asteroids that the Little Prince explores in the cosmos of space. In all of these settings the author introduces characters that deliver metaphorical life lessons to the reader. The author didn’t write this book to deliver a story, he wrote this book to deliver different life lessons and themes that the reader is supposed to learn from. In this book the theme of friendship is found consistently throughout the book. This is the theme statement that I had pulled out from the theme of friendship: Friendships help you succeed, and they can help you learn different life lessons, this is why you need to enjoy friendships to their full potential for what they can offer because, they don’t last life times.
In the beginning of the book there is a big theme of how friendships help you to succeed. The Rose and the Little Prince are both great friends. And even though the rose is a flower that doesn’t understand human cultures and society, the little prince still shows affection for the flower. The Little Prince treats the rose like a person, talking to it, and making sure that it’s in good shape. This is a friendship, because of how the main character and author personifies this rose. The rose and Little Prince relate to this theme because, the rose is
The main lessons in Ellis' book were friendship and collaboration. In the book friendship is seen as a common and recurring theme
Rose tries to find support in many people such as her mother, but her mother too “busy” with other things like work and won’t even visit Ivy. She also looks towards Jimmy Wilson, the boy who has had a crush on Rose since the second grade, but finds only a shy boy who needs to focus on his own emotions before someone elses. Rose turned toward William T., the boy who has been driving her to the hospital everyday and her loving neighbor. He was always there for Rose and would do anything to help her being the considerate friend he is. Rose, though gratefully to have William T. by her side, did not find what she need within her friendship with the sweet boy.
Also what I understood is for example how Rose had Mr.MacFarland to help him out and push him and make him to things schooling wise it made rose better himself and want to excel in school. Wich helped him out because he made something out of himself and he proved others wrong that one from the lower class can be something in
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.
Friendship opens our minds to different views and perspectives and change our perceptions. It has the power to change people’s views on life in a positive way. True friends will do anything to keep their friendship alive, no matter the barriers. Potok proves through the friendship of Danny and Reuven that friendship can be achieved no matter the barriers. He proves that friendship is a key value to life through his motif

In the novel “The Outsiders” by S.E Hinton an important theme is family and friendship. This theme is interesting because it shows us how when you’re family you come together to look after each other no matter what.

Friendship is something most people have experienced, but there is an uncertain path the two friends will follow into the building or demise of their relationship. Maintaining a good relationship is something that is very hard to do, as there is likely to be many mental obstacles to avoid. This element in friend relationships is shown all throughout the book, A Separate Peace, by John Knowles. One of the main messages that is relayed in the book is that friendship is a delicate element that requires care to maintain and that the competition and jealousy in the relationship can really impact the future friendship.
An epic fantasy and a gloomy ranch life. True friends will never fade away. Or will it? Friendships and their outcome get very subjective evaluations. Both Steinbeck and Tolkien’s books: “Of Mice and Men” and “The Fellowship of the Rings” deal with a consistent theme of friendship. Although each author has their own distinct way of communicating their ideas, these books show similar views on the strength, consequences and limitations of friendship.
In Charlotte’s Web we are witness to an odd friendship that evolves from a need to survive into one of deepest respect, understanding, and selflessness. In The Fox and the Hound, we see how the innocence of childhood breaks through the barriers of society’s norms and their friendship develops from similar passions and curiosities - with bonds so strong that neither time nor the pressures of family and work can not break them. In life, as in literature, friendship is an important theme that touches us all. One never knows where or when they will find a friend so stay open and receptive. Smile at that person next to you in the cafeteria, strike up a conversation with the kid next to you on the bus, bake your neighbor some cookies and stay for tea… You may be embarking upon your next tremendous
Throughout literature and film, common themes have appeared and stand out once seen by a viewer and reader. Because of these themes being so prominent, they have shaped culture and society into what it is today. One of the most important and well-known theme is friendship. A bond as strong as friendship is shown to be able to conquer anything. Literature shows the ups and downs of friendships time and time again, and in most cases, towards the end, those relationships have changed characters’ lives causing people to relate to it. However with any relationship, the downs in friendships can always reach rock bottom at some points. Authors use friendships to create archetypes about different sets of characters. Because of this companion archetype, people are able to find different ways to fulfill those empty spaces in their very own lives.
