After having trouble trying to find Roberto’s blog and his entries. I found myself reading an interesting idea. Leaving a part the redundancy of the blog and the repetition of concepts, the main idea of a blog he titled “Making Friends” was controversial.
The relationship between Billy and Elliot, demonstrates how complicated it would be to live in a concentration camp. The complications that tag along when having to live with people you have never met and worst of all in those conditions one experiences in a concentration camp. It came to my mind the movie The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas. In the movie a Jewish boy who is send to a concentration camp, has the honor of meeting the son of the Nazi general who is in charge of the camp. They are able to create a very strong bond even though they were from to totally different backgrounds. What makes this movie so special is that the Nazi kid goes inside the camp, in search of his Jewish friend’s parent at the both end up gassed in a chamber. They were only two kids fighting a grown-up war yet they both end up dead while doing simple kid stuff.
Relating it back to Roberto’s blog about friendship in hard times, we can say that people when exposed to complicated situations are able to give the most of them. When living in you comfort zone everything is always all right. No problems arise and life is simple. Yet you can only get to know a person in those complicated situations, and only then is when you can see the real person, the person behind every comfort zone.
Friendships end, but relationships created in tough times are the ones that overcome the worst and therefore will last the longest.
