How
do "mountains" grow between friends? This has happened to me before
but thankfully that ended. This happened to two people in a novel called Black
and White. A black named Marcus and a white named Eddie. They are star
basketball players at their high school. But to make money to pay their student
fund, they decided to steal Marcus's dad's gun and do some robberies. They
never planned to shoot, just to scare people into giving up they’re money. Well
Eddie ended up accidentally shooting someone then Eddie and Marcus made a run
for it. During their next game the cops arrived during half time and arrested
Marcus because they thought he shot the gun. Eddie got away with no arrest
although; Eddie should have gotten arrested because he shot the gun. Both Eddie
and Marcus are upset because 1. They have just been separated thanks to a
stupid mistake and 2. Once their family finds out, what would happen?
So
this is one of the ways that a friendship can be split up. Crime can easily break
up the strongest friendship. This reason is because if someone tricks a friend
into crime then that friend might go to jail and then the friendship is done.
Although a wall or “mountain” between the friendships doesn’t mean that the
friendship is over. While Marcus is being arrested, that doesn’t mean that
Eddie won’t try to clear stuff up. Although if Eddie does commit to shooting
the man, he would most likely go to jail.
My
experience in a break between friends happened in 6th Grade. 2 of my
friends liked each other and I joked around with the girl and the guy took it a
bit to seriously and him and I stopped talking. But thank goodness he forgave
me and we are still friends today.
So,
I have another source that something in a novel can happen in real life.
