Classic novel representing loyalty/friendship

[Tweety]

This may be the wrong forum for this, but I don't really feel like getting banned in OOT, so I figured the most intellectual forum on the site would be the way to go.

I am looking for examples of well known, classic novels whose main theme is loyalty, teamwork, friendship, etc. It is a work-related creative project, and I cannot stand these sorts of things, but I have to do a decent job on it.

Off the top of my head I could not think of any great pieces of literature that exactly fit this description, and I was an English major, which is pretty sad.

If you guys can come up with any, it would be highly appreciated.

Thanks very much.

Post this in The Lounge (or just wait for a mod to move it there, I guess).

As for your question, maybe The Three Musketeers?

The Hobbit / Lord of the Rings

Ivanhoe novels/Walter Scott
All Quiet on the Western Front/Erich Maria Remarque,
Three comrades/Erich Maria Remarque
Count of Monte Cristo/Alexandre Dumas (it's kinda in reverse from what you want, but could still be cool)

Do you need all three in each book?

Two oddball examples:

My Friend Flicka - boy and horse
The Heart is a Lonely Hunter - the mute and the fat guy near the start

Thanks. I realized this wasn't the ideal forum for it, but I wasn't sure which to use. Sorry for misusing this forum, and thanks very much for all the replies.

I think you might want to look at Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck or A Separate Peace by Knowles...both of them are sad, but they are pretty close looks at friendship. A Separate Peace is probably the shorter of the two if you need a fast read.

A Separate Peace
Lord of the Rings
Of Mice and Men

Are all greats,

I would add Once and Future King, but it's not as smooth a read?
