Friends

saddest part of your book? For me, I would have to say the part where the short-lived character Howie died; was the saddest part. I think this because of the fact that it was implied that Josh and him were very good friends also he died right in front of josh. Imagine your best friend dying right in front of you and how horrific that would be for you. Howie also died in a very appalling fashion. He got stuck under the train tracks and was crushed to death by the train. What was the most…

“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…

dictionary as the state of being friends and a friendly feeling. Not everyone is a friend. There are varying levels of “friendship.” Now, in the era of Facebook, people may say they have a thousand friends, but not every one of those thousand followers on Instagram will feed you chicken soup when you are sick. A friend is an ally, provides support and gives encouragement. Friends make time for you, help you out when you are in need, and lift up your sprits. A friend will always be there for…

Elena Ferrante’s My Brilliant Friend explores the power relationships between the two main female characters and how they are conceived through certain environments. Through the protagonists, Elena and Lila, Ferrante is able to address power in a microcosm scale. While both characters struggle to fend off their influence, their relationship becomes a game of opposition as one tries to surpass the other. Within (society), there is a more determinant factor controlling one’s future. This is…

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…

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…

Gold friend “The silver friend knows your present and the gold friend knows all of your past dirt and glories. Once in a blue moon, there is someone who knows it all, someone who knows and accepts you unconditionally, someone who is there for life.” Everyone needs a friend that they can always count on in their life. This description of a “gold friend” by Jill McCorkle perfectly describes an important friend of mine. It was an ordinary Sunday morning; the sun was shining as usual. I put on my…

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…

Curves made by friends We were in a family meeting when they decided that all my mother's siblings will be staying with us. I was filled with happiness, but what I didn't was that my mother had many siblings. I was used to living in a big house only for me and my parents, but then I had to share it with my aunts and uncles. I liked the idea to an extent I asked to help them move in. They said I was too young to help. At that time I felt useless. They were not the only one telling me I was young.…
