“A friend in power is a friend lost.” Do you agree or disagree with this statement by Henry Brooks Adams? Support your ideas with reasoning and examples.

The writer Henry Brooks Adams said that a

friend

in

power

is a

friend

lost. Good friendships are not supported on who has more things that can be from material belongings to inner qualities. So, I could not disagree more with

this

phrase. 

Firstly

, is important to know what is a good and strong relationship between

friends

. When

people

talk about their

friends

they may have a lot of them or only a few.

This

is not important. A good friendship is that

one

where they do not have to show off their achievements.

Furthermore

, they are not worried to talk about those situations that they are screwed. Usually, when someone has a relationship like

this

it is not a problem if

one

of the

friends

turns to be in the

power

. 

On the other hand

, some

people

when they got the

power

they change.

However

, having the

power

can refer to a lot of things: Becoming rich, Being very successful at their jobs, Even turning into the boss of that

friend

. But I am of the opinion that actually

power

works more like alcohol. It turns what

people

are into something more exaggerated of what they are. The funny

one

becomes funnier. The

one

who likes to talk

talks more. So, if the friendship ends because

one

of the

friends

has changed it is because from the beginning he was not a good

friend

.  In conclusion, is important to know the

people

that we are because if you have

an

honest friendship and know the person

that is

beside you. The statement about losing a

friend

when he gets the

power

will not be true.

In addition

to

this

, I have a

friend

who is being very successful and our relationship has not changed at all.
