Outsider-A Seperate Peace
As a result of people's dependence on things their personalities are brought down. In "A Separate Peace" by John Knowles and "The Outsiders" by S.E. Hinton Finny's and Dally's dependence is negative because it makes them both vulnerable, contrastingly Finny's dependence causes him to be in denial while Dally's dependence causes him to be aggressive and lash out.
