I think their friendship gives a realistic picture of friendships because they were always true to one another and wanted the best for each other. The four boys always supported each other through hard times. For example, Chris was very discouraged because the people of the town predicted that he would be a lowlife in the future just like his father. However, Gordie did not let that put down Chris, instead he encouraged Chris to also take college-level course to become something high and prove the public wrong. Female friendships are very similar to this.

With this action, McCarthy was trying to show a true love relationship through character between father and son. Later on in the book, there was another very touching moment between the characters which also effectively underlined the theme.

Another important relationship is between Laertes and Odysseus. Odysseus and Laertes reunite after the suitors have been killed. Laertes is extremely happy because he saw his “son and grandson” and they “vie[d] for courage” (Homer 461).

Most of the reason I love my dad so much is because he was harsh on me as a child. When I messed up he wouldn 't yell though, he would just explain how what I did was wrong and teach me how to be better. I was always a very patient child, I 'm not sure why or how I got to be that way but my dad made sure I knew he was proud of me. My dad had the hardest time teaching me to chew with my mouth closed and I still do it once in awhile on accident, but he always reminds me when I do. I think the most important thing my dad has taught me is to think everything through, my dad has given me wisdom I never would have found without him.
