Healthy friendships play an essential role in our lives. Having a healthy friendship cannot work without support and trust between each other. Trust means being honest with each other and supporting one another. Support means being there for your friend when they need you and having an open mind. Without support and trust a friend cannot share their thoughts and be comfortable without being judged. Throughout the course of Misa Sugiura, This Time Will Be Different, Cj and Emily’s relationship proves not to be healthy; not only do they not support one another but they are not honest with each other.
Part of the reason why CJ and Emily’s friendship is not healthy has to do with the fact that CJ dislikes the idea of Emily interacting with Brynn.

Through these words, it is evident that Emily had purposefully not told CJ about being lab partners with Brynn because she knew that CJ would overreact. When Emily says “.. I knew you'd give me shit about it” it shows that Emily cannot talk to CJ about her feelings without being judged and told what to do. When …show more content…
For example, it cannot be denied that CJ protects Emily from Brynn because she doesn't want Emily to get hurt. In the coffee shop when Emily starts talking about Brynn and how she has changed, CJ says “I'm sorry. I just… you know how I feel about her. You know how she treated you in eighth grade. I don't think she's changed. You deserve so much better” (24). CJ is being a caring friend and wants to protect Emily from being hurt. Nevertheless, looking out for a friend's best interests is but a small part of a healthy relationship. In addition, it may be that CJ’s motivation for warning Emily away from Brynn is because CJ is feeling jealous. Because there is little proof that Emily and CJ’s relationship is healthy one can conclude that their relationship is not

Their qualities can be witnessed in our own lives as well. These shared and distinct characteristics are important factors that drive the plot of their texts. Families care for and protect each other, yet, the two women prove the contrary with their unloving and cold personalities. Emily’s unloving nature is evident when she refuses to aid her sister, Harriet, in receiving a certificate of normalcy.
In the beginning, Emily seems to be helping Anya fit in and make friends. On page 123, Sean reveals his true personality, he is hiding in a room possibly with another girl and his girlfriend makes sure no one comes in. After that Anya doesn't like sean anymore, however, Emily still insists that she should try and “get rid of the other girl’’ and also tells Anya that she is in love even if she isn't. Emily trying to help Anya get to meet sean is a great metaphor for how something can turn sour
Her fathers love is very similar to that of Janie's grandmother. There seems to have been a falling out between Emily's father and the rest of the family, leaving Emily to learn about love only from him. Faulkner writes, "we had long thought of them as a tableau, Miss Emily a slender figure in white in the background, her father a spraddled silhouette in the foreground, his back to her and clutching a horsewhip." This imagery portrays a sense of control that Emily's father has over her and her relationships. Although it is a form of love, it might not be in Emily's best interest.
Emily’s mother, although not directly involved, feels at fault towards the situation and creates anxious feelings towards trust and creates her own set of trauma towards the situation. However, the impact of the trauma reaches beyond Paulina alone. Stella, who shares a further connection to Emily, experiences a profound sense of guilt as she was affected towards this situation as well, “‘I am so sorry. I am so, so sorry. I hurt everyday and I am so sorry’”
Emily proves that she fits the character archetype of the lover countless times throughout the novel. One of the first times Emily does this is when she goes cliff-jumping with Blake. Cliff jumping was one of the items on Emily’s list she was apprehensive to complete as she has always feared heights. Whereas when Blake was going through the items on the list Blake thought that cliff jumping would be very enjoyable. Emily eventually decides, “I’ll prove it to her” (Lippincott 132).
This ambiguity can first be seen after the narrator explains Emily’s background. The key phrase

Emily is perceived to be a lonely old woman, whom nobody ever spoke with. Since they never talk with her or learn anything about what is going on in her life, the townspeople begin to gossip to make up for this. They knew her father had driven away any man from becoming close to her, and they just thought to themselves, “ poor Emily” (32).

Miss Emily comes from an old wealthy line of family in the deep south. Faulkner story is highly symbolic, enhancing miss Emily’s values and character. “Miss Emily is described as a fallen monument to the chivalric American South”(Allmon). Faulkner uses the setting of the story to show the emotional state of Emily. The female-male relationship between Emily and her father is strict, oppressive, and controlling; Their relationship has a major impact on Emily’s character Throughout the short story.
He also shows the relationship between Emily and her dead father and how Emily cannot let go of people that show a love interest in her or the people who look after her in that she must be attached to them even after death. Faulkner depicts an Emily that was once young and vibrant, who maintained the Grierson home and kept it in a pristine condition. Faulkner relays to readers that because Emily was unable to control her own destiny and was powerless under her father’s hand, she became a recluse and ultimately went into a downward spiral. After sensing and believing that her first real love will leave her, Emily purchases arsenic and it is believed that she will kill herself because there is no point in living if no one will love her
To compare, Faulkner shares a slice of evidence as to why Emily has an uncontrollable obsession for the dead, “After her father 's death she went out very little; after her sweetheart went away, people hardly saw her at all.” (Faulkner) Given these points, her father becomes arrogant and isolates her from society, or anyone who is willing to take Miss Emily from him.
