Best Friends

“There is nothing I would not do for those who are really my friends. I have no notion of loving people by halves, it is not my nature.” (Jane Austen). As you go through your life, you meet new people and say goodbye to the ones you have known. There are the acquaintances, the frenemies the close friends, and the best friend. These types of friends will either stick with you or leave. Nonetheless, you as a person should be able to interpret who is who. You never know, it might just help you in…

When analyzing the differences between the song “You are my Best Friend” by Queen and the cover performed by The Once, it may feel almost incomparable. Although the formal structure of the cover follows the same form of the original, the tempo varies. The cover is sung slower which gives the song a differing emotional response than the fast-paced rock song. Personally, I find it difficult to compare the recording production between the performances. When comparing the technology between both…

Once upon a time, I had a best friend. Don 't get me wrong, I still do, it 's just a different person now. This original best friend I had been friends with for 8 years. Yes, you 'd think 8 years would have brought us closer together, even inseparable, and we were, but not in a good way. This friend, we 'll call her Holly, was an abusive friend. She didn 't punch me or anything like that (I 'd like to see her try) but she was mentally abusive. She would rip you down to nothing to make…

everyone has a best friend. This could be someone that’s always there to listen, one that’s there for play, and everything in between. One’s best friend is most often irreplaceable—especially at a young age. No one forgets their first best friend. The poem, “Best Friends” is about the how the speaker’s daughter reminds her of her childhood best friend that passed away in 1951. The poem is dedicated to her: Elizabeth Ewer. Sharon Olds exemplifies this ideology in her poem, “Best Friends” through…

Katie, Ally, and I were friends, collectively, for over twelve years. While searching through packed boxes, I found a journal with “Sarah, Katie, Ally - Best Friends Forever” written on the front page and all of our signatures scribbled underneath. We must have declared our friendship in that journal sometime during grade school, and we truly believed that it would hold true. Katie was a bubbly, outgoing blonde. She was friendly, sweet, and a joy to be around (benefit). We met in our early…

end. It’s not easy for me to admit it, but I have to. A relationship between one of my best friends from my childhood is, at least as of right now, over. It’s strange really, how relationships come and go. How some seem to repel shortly after they are no longer absolutely needed, while others just stick. This is a story that is hard to put into words, because it makes no sense. How can someone be your friend from second grade until the first year of college, and then end? How is it possible? Why…

Best Friends I think what Laurie Halse Anderson is trying to say about best friends in Speak, is that your best friends won’t always be there for you and sometimes you have to fend for yourself. To begin with, every single one of Melinda’s friends hated her, and throughout the book she had to deal with Andy because of the party incident. Nobody asked her what was the problem, her friends weren't there for her when she was attacked. Even Melinda’s best friends hate her for calling the cops, and…

If there is one phrase that is difficult to define, it would be what a best friend is. It can vary from person to person, but for many, a best friend is a special person in your life. They listen to what you’re compelled say when no one else will. When you feel melancholy, they will do their best to ensure that a smile will find its way back to your face. However, my favorite definition by far is that finding your best friend is comparable to falling in love. Around the age of four, I was…

I believe that friends are one of the themes of the book since there were many places throughout the book, where I noticed how play such a huge role in our lives, and how emotionally attached we are to them. For example at the beginning of this book, one can easily conclude and Rowdy, Juniors best friend, has a great impact on Junior’s, the main character, life. This is clearly evidenced on page 17 when Junior says “ It’s like he (Rowdy) is a family member, an extra brother and son”, and “He…

“Friend” Friends are those people with whom you share your life. Despite the fears one has about sharing every bit of their life, from their deepest secrets to their greatest joy, and their greatest hopelessness, a friend is someone with whom one shares everything. “Friend” means different things to different people; it is something that has to be experienced to be understood. The definition of friend has especially changed in recent years, due to social media sites, such as Facebook; people…
