Some people believe that the wealthy and
the poor are able to the best friends.
There are many opinions regarding this topic, however, I think that it is not possible for the rich and the poor can
be close friends. I will explore this in the following essay.
Above all, the gap between the rich and the
poor cannot be able to be good friends due to their disparity in economic conditions. This is because different
financial positions lead to having less
in common between the rich and the poor. When people have little in common, they do not exactly understand
each other and they only talk about superficial things such as greetings. As a result, the poor feel relatively depressed and
then both the poor and the rich cannot be real friends. For instance, when my
sister Emily was in high school, there is a wealthy friend in her class. Emily
sometimes talks with her wealthy friend, however,
they do not understand each other because they cannot empathize respectively.
This means that the wealthy usually go to the hotel restaurants for having
lunch but my sister and I are in a middle-state family, therefore we can not visit the hotel
restaurant even if we want (to). This kind of difference, when the wealthy and
my sister tell lunch menus or favorite restaurants, they could not appreciate each
other. I have another compelling example. My sister always did her best in school studying. She even studied whole subjects which she learned in classes
all day and night because she wanted to outdo her classmates. However, all changed since she noticed that one of her wealthy
family friends takes expensive and private tutoring classes. She gave up everything
for her school studying. As shown in the example, economic inequality intrudes on being friends who are in a different economic statuses.
At first glance, it may seem that making friends between the rich and the
poor is possible. However, I strongly
believe that the wealthy and the poor could not be close friends for the reason(s)
I have mentioned above.
