Abstract
Henry and Adam approach life in different ways, choices that were deeply affected from a young age by their father's leaving. This one event both strains and strengthens the brothers' relationship due to their differing perceptions of the event. The younger Henry desires to keep close ties, for as long as he can, with the loved ones in his life, no matter what. The older Adam becomes concerned with financial stability in attempts to secure his future, mistaking certainty of one's path through life as a guarantee for happiness. Only when Henry and Adam are forced together under the least desirable of circumstances will they once again begin to understand one another.
