Literary critic, George Woodberry once said, “I am quite sure that no friendship yields its true pleasure and nobility of nature without frequent communication, sympathy, and service.”We may have many friendships, but only a handful of them stand out and mean something to us. Real friends always aim to pay attention to each other's needs and veto the “what’s in it for me” mentality.

had people who would mourn his end, who would name their children after him, so that Kihika’s name would never die from men’s lips. Kihika had everything: Mugo had nothing.”pg 195 Mugo’s betrayal is partially redeemed by his suffering in various detention camps and his courage whilst saving Wambuku, Kihikas spouse, from the beating in the trench. I believe however that Mugo is redeemed by his unbearable guilt and his eventual confession resulting in his hanging. Ngugi shows us that no matter…

It was a Wednesday morning at Peters Elementary, I was steadily copying down the week's homework waiting for the morning announcements. After I finished copying down the homework I turned around to talk to my friends Benjamin and Vincent about Minecraft, when the announcements abruptly came on asking us to stand and do the Pledge of Allegiance than saying, “Are you interested in joining Pentathlon?“ In my head I wondered, “Man, what is Pentathlon?
