What does reconciliation look like?

What does reconciliation look like? What does reconciliation mean? Reconciliation is the restoration of friendly relations. When people forgive but never forget, and acknowledge the past but move forward. it is to not make excuses or blame others, it is to listen to what people have to say and resolving conflicts. Can reconciliation resolve and heal? And can it make up for even the worst events that occurred in history? We can find these sources in books and Canadian history where lots of forms of reconciliation occurred. I think reconciliation looks like forgiveness and bringing back lost friendships and relationships that were lost or forgotten.

The book The Outsiders is one of my favorite books it taught me about how friendship can overcome almost anything even in horrible situations. This book is about two different gangs who face conflicts with one another, Ponyboy is the main character in the story and he is in the less fortunate gang. Ponyboy’s friend all help each other through harsh situations.
