contents of a good friend? An eccentric sense of humor, great advice, and honesty are all things that come to mind when you think about the makings of a quality friend. Friends are important to have because they provide a metaphysical backbone when things get tough in life and give their friends the love and support they need. We rely on them when loneliness is a concept we cannot bear, yet on a conscious level, we rarely spend much time actually thinking on how we classify our friends. Pondering…
The test of a good friend, is their loyalty. What would a friend do if you are going through a rough time? Would they stay by you or walk away? What if you embarrass them? Would they hold a grudge or be understanding and forgive you? In The Kite Runner, by Khaled Hosseini, Hassan is the kind of friend most people wish to have; he is loyal, kind, understanding, trustworthy, brave, the list could go on. Amir, however, is the exact opposite of him, yet Hassan remains a loyal friend to him throughout…
Friends, how many of us have them? FRIENDS ones we can depend on. These lines are very well known from the 1984 hit single by Whodini, but in reality is agreat question to ask yourself. Whodini’s first rhyme says “Friends is a word we use everyday most the time we use it in the wrong way.”, with that being said we all confuse the definition or just have our own meaning for the the word, but me, I couldn’t answer the Friends question til I knew the true meaning of a friend. The essay Friends , Good…

The bell rings. Another class has started. Let the torture of teaching my rowdy class begin. My students start to unpack, but Harold forgot his cello, and Sally can’t find her music. Above the rustle of papers and chairs, I hear two of the violinists fighting over a chair. I finish writing the agenda on the board. As I turn to face the class, a pencil flies past my face. Now, this obviously is an extreme example of a disorganized classroom. However, even when a class does not include fighting students…
and feel good. If humans took a step backwards and look at friendship at a different level, they may see that friendships can bring comfort, support and excitement to everyone’s lives. When life supports a person with a really good friend that is meant to be kept, this friend can make each other stronger but even life more interesting because of all the inside comments that can be told. If someone lives a certain way for so long and on a not so good level, or they may not know what a friend really…
I always hear what makes a good friend in books that I have read. That’s just it seems like a good friend is just in books and made up.

daily basis. I think friendships have a way of developing on their own. I also think that sharing something deeper can help to sustain friendships. My best friend and I have known each other our whole lives. We did not actually become friends until about twenty years ago, and the best friend title came along a few years later. My best friend, Sandra, lives in Elkins, West Virginia. We do not see each other very often, but we speak at least once a week. Sandra and I keep our friendship strong because…
for me to even imagine of a person without any good friend. A good friend fill up the vacuum which no family members can. No matter how close bond a person share with the family, there is always a limit beyond which a person cannot express their thoughts or confess about their problems to family members. A good friend remains unaffected by these limits and a person can pour their heart out in front of them. A friend plays a very poignant role in a person’s life…
