Trust. The word itself creates a sort of wonder that everyone in the human race has yet to understand. Some problems can be fixed, but this one, even the most intelligent of people cannot understand. There is betrayal, and surprising effects, maybe a good effect every so often. It can change a relationship, forever. In the books The Scorch Trials, by James Dashner, and The Prisoner of Azkaban, By J.K. Rowling use the same technique of dialogue to show the reader opposing viewpoints on the motif of trust. The ideas that we have about someone, or the amount of trust we have put into them can change over the course of events, and time.
Starting off with the book, The Scorch Trials, whose author is James Dashner, through the evidence in the book,

Rowling, takes a different turn on it. Different from The Scorch Trials where trust is lost, trust is gained in Harry Potter’s adventure with the Prisoner of Azkaban. Someone the entire wizarding world didn’t trust, Sirius Black (AKA, THE prisoner of Azkaban). Harry was angry with him and called him out for helping the person who killed his parents, Lord Voldemort. Harry, therefore, had the right to be mad at him. But now, he was on the loose and it seemed as if Hogwarts, Harry’s wizarding school, was the safest place to be. But as aspects of the book lead up to the big climax, Harry comes face to face with Black, to originally hurt him, but his opinion was changed over the course of that part of the book, and although still working towards it, he puts some of his trust in Sirius. After a session of yelling back and forth between Black and Harry, Sirius says “‘But if you knew the whole story’ ‘The whole story?’ Harry repeated, a furious pounding in his ears. ‘You sold them to Voldemort. That’s all I need to know.’ ‘You’ve got to listen to me,’ Black said, and there was a note of urgency in his voice now. ‘You’ll regret it if you don’t… You don’t understand…’ ‘I understand a lot better than you think,’ said Harry, and his voice shook more than ever.” (Rowling, 224). As we said, trust is a lot more complicated than some people think. Through Sirius’ words to Harry, Harry tries to be mad a Sirius, but when Black states that Harry doesn’t know that whole story, Harry gets confused, resulting in a moment to think, which was crucial. If Sirius had not had that moment, who knows what could have happened, maybe the next moment wouldn’t have happened at all. On page 231, Remus Lupin explains the situation with Black, to Harry, and because it is coming from someone Harry already trusts (Lupin), Harry is able to start to change his opinion about Sirius. “ ‘Everyone thought Sirius killed Peter,’

“Trust takes years to build, seconds to break, and forever to repair. - Anonymous”. If you have ever felt isolated from society, or feel that you are constantly begging for the mercy of your own subconscious, then you know the pain accompanied by expending trust. It is imperative for humanity to cultivate trust; if we lose it, we will simply degenerate into insanity. For instance, in the texts “On the Sidewalk Bleeding”, “The Tell-Tale Heart” as well as “The Landlady”, characters were tasked with uncovering the role that trust plays in conquering challenges. In doing so, they also suffered through fluctuating degrees of tailored hardships.

For instance, lying can lead to discomfort, distance and, fear. For one thing, Christopher felt uncomfortable around his dad because of the lie. Father tells him, “‘We’re only human.’ Then he held up his right hand and spread his fingers out in a fan. But I screamed and pushed him backward…” (122). Usually when Father does this, it is okay but, Christopher was in so much shock, he did not know what to do. He did not want to Father to touch him. Eventually, Christopher decides that, “ I had to get out of the house” (122). He felt the need to escape and break away from Father after what had happened so, he did would distance himself from Father. Additionally, Christopher is in fear towards his father, after being lied to and told the truth, the next morning, “... I heard Father coming down to the garden and I took out my Swiss Army knife out of my pocket … in case he found us” (127). The reason for this is because when Christopher finds out that Father is the one who kills Wellington, he was afraid that he could be the next victim to this murder crime which made him really scared. Trust is important between people. When it is lost, people feel discomfort, the need to distance themselves, and the sense of fear.

Political prisoners and criminals alike were subject to brutal conditions in the Soviet gulags at Kolyma in the 20th century. In Varlam Shalamov’s Kolyma Tales, the stories of many different prisoners are told and much is revealed about how humans react under these pressures, both naturally and socially. Being in an extreme environment not only takes a toll on one’s physical well-being, but on one’s mental and emotional state as well. The stories show that humans can be reduced to a fragile, animalistic state while in the Kolyma work camps because the extreme conditions force many men to focus solely on self-preservation.
Joe Gebbia begins his speech with an interesting hook that captures the audience attention with a narration of an event that happened to him. He then concludes that after all the events of what happened, it actually turned out to be a great outcome. The person who he was scared that he could not trust, a total stranger, turned out to be a long-term friend of his. It draws the audience in as it's interesting to keep listening until the end of the story to know exactly how it plays out. The thesis of this speech is at the conclusion of his work, "Luck and timing aside, I've learned that you can take the components of trust, and you can design for that."
Trust is a trait one should obtain for the people they know are the most honest. To trust someone means to put ones full confidence and reliability on an acquaintance such as someone one is close with. In The Tragedy of Julius Caesar, Brutus, one of the leading characters put his complete trust in the people trying to tell him what he should believe. Brutus joined the conspirators to help take down Julius Caesar because he believed it was what was good for Rome based on what he was deceived. This resulted in the killing of Caesar and the death of himself and others. Not considering the right kind of trust in someone can lead to very troubling things. Cassius told a lie as if it was a truth so Brutus
Trust is a key element of life. We need to choose who we can confide and believe in. If the ten people on the island want to stay alive, they need to be aware of those who are truly loyal, but they need to choose wisely, for one out of the ten is a murderer. Everyone in the house has there suspicions. No matter what the circumstances are, they remain immutable about not trusting each other. Having no trust makes all of them a nervous wreck, making each of them more susceptible of being the next victim of murder. Having no trust only digs us a deeper hole to the inevitable, and when we trust the wrong person, the inevitable happens sooner than expected.

The systematic failure of the law in the specific case Dostoevsky's Crime and Punishment is a 19th century novel that chronicles the story and adventures of a poor former student, Raskolnikov, who kills an old pawn-broker, Alyona Ivanovna, and her sister, Lizaveta, who happened to be on the crime scene.

In the novel there are also a lot of psychological theories that somehow preceds Edgumund Freud's SUCH AS...

Trust is defined as the reliance on the integrity, strength, ability or surety of a person or thing. To break ones trust is to lose their confidence in the person or thing. Trust can be broken with a single, unreliable action and is often challenging and difficult to win back. In the case of the one whose trust was broken, it is a difficult, jarring and abrupt change of reality to discover the betrayal and loss of trust in someone who they once relied upon . In William Shakespeare 's play entitled Hamlet, the protagonist Hamlet is unable to take swift revenge on his father 's murderer. This is due to the fact that Hamlet has become distrustful of the most important people in his life and so this sparks a question in those around him but also
