Well .......there's a lot of possible meanings: pull apart: to dismember or to separate something, while pull together: to close things to each other such as sliding doors. so pull together & pull apart can be the opposites of each other. other possible meanings: pull someone apart :is to separate people who are entangled / to cause someone grief (just like torn me apart) the police pulled the fighting men apart. or his sudden death had pulled me apart. Pull together: to tidy things up / to arrange sth like a party / to cooperate as a team my room is in a mess , i'll pull things together or let's all pull together to win this match. meanwhile, come together: to touch or to meet we came together at cinema. In one sentence , it may looks like: Pull them apart, pull them together , or let them come together separate them , close them ,or let them meet together Hope that helped ;)
