Friendship is evident in The Bean Trees and A Separate Peace. Much like in reality, friendship is an important factor in life. With friends, one can relate to another with common things, be there to lend a hand, and build a social life. The Bean Trees and A Separate Peace demonstrate how friendship bonds are unbreakable, friends are there to lend a hand when in need, and friendship help develop one’s character in terms of personality throughout the novels. When a new friendship is started, a new bond has begun, and The Bean Trees demonstrate it in a substantial amount. Taylor Greer – who is the main character in the story – set off on a journey to start on a new independent life. On Taylor’s way of living a new lifestyle, she needed to make new friends. One of the very first friends Taylor has made was with Lou Ann when she moved in with her. As time and time passes by, Taylor and Lou Ann’s friendship began to develop as they got to know one another. Taylor told Lou Ann at one point that “…I moved in here because I knew we’d get along” (Kingsolver 85). Taylor is always there to stay generous and extend their friendship to keep their bond strong. Along the way, Taylor has made new and good friends with others such as Mattie, Estevan and Esperenza. Of course, her friendship bonds with others have definitely lasted, and never broke. Even when they all separated, their friendship will last forever. In A Separate Peace, the two main characters – Gene and Phineas (also known as Finny) – were friends from the start, but the bond was not quite as strong as yet.
