220 Words1 Pages
Friendship is one of the main themes in The Counselors by Jessica Goodman. In chapter one, Goldie says, “If anything can heal me, it’s a summer at Camp Alpine Lake with Ava and Imogen, who have been my best friends for a decade” (Goodman 4). This is similar to how Lylah and I have been best friends since we were four years old, which Lylah verified when she was questioned. “Sonya: We’ve known each other since we were 4 and in Pre-K, right? Lylah: Yes.” Goldie and Lylah have both known their best friends for a decade or more. Wealth is among the themes of the novel. The camp, Camp Alpine Lake, is in the middle of an indigent town, yet the camp is for children from wealthy families. Goldie is in a very different class compared to Ava and Imogen.
