My Best Friend Luke Dunaway

The novel, To Kill A Mockingbird, takes place during a racially intense time in history. Harper Lee’s novel was intended to bring a harsh sense of reality to the real world, and demonstrate how it really was during this time in history. This novel is set in Maycomb, Alabama, somewhere during the time period of 1925-1935. Times were hard for the citizens of Maycomb during this period, because of the depression. There are many fictional events in this novel related to non-fictional racial events in history.

When we both entered separate high schools, we began to face a problem that we had never experienced or even thought about, distance. Beginning a new lifestyle with new friends and a new social environment without each other probably made our first year of high school the worst. Not being able to see each other every day created invisible barriers between the two of us. There were depressing situations where we needed the calming comfort of our best friend but we were a few kilometers away from each other. We later realized that it was in our best interest to learn how to adjust. By the 10th grade, we were able to manage our time and workload so we could make time for each other. We would text every day, if not, every other day and video chat using skype whenever we could. We would always start our conversations with a detailed update of what happened in our lives since the last time we talked. We managed to learn how to communicate with one another in such a way that it was almost like we did not miss a single

Although this was in 4th grade and I still remember it like it was just yesterday, we enjoyed the friendship while it lasted. On the day that Matt left the school, I never felt any lonelier, I got lonelier, and even lonelier. I felt the tears rolling down my eyes. Though I still had my other friends to hang out, play, and do other things with, he symbolized a great friend that no one can replace.

Today I am talking about how my best friend and I met. My best friend’s name is Sydney Rott. The story of how we met is a cliché but I am going to explain it anyway. We didn't know each other up until my Sophomore year and her Junior year. I decided I wanted to go out for the tennis team, even though I have never really played before, I still decided to join. Sydney was the number one player for the Harrisburg Tennis Team. I thought that she was a brat when I first met her, but as time went on I started to like her.

My friend Ellijah is one of the most outgoing, animated and hard-working friends I have met. He is the same age as I am. We have been extremely close friends since 6th grade, when my transfer from Farmington Schools to Lakeville Schools happened. Our friendship started in Middle School gym class, and still continues today. One of the first things we learned about each other was, we both lived between two houses growing up, and had many brothers and sisters along with step-parents. Joining a new school was something scary to me and a hard to do. Especially becoming new to the city of Lakeville. Ellijah was there to hang out and help me whenever I needed it. We are still close friends today! We attend the same Church group at Hosanna, play on the same football team, and get food with Tommy, Bryce, and Jack on the weekends at Chipotle.

I am very grateful to have many great relationships with my family and friends, but the one that has really impacted my life or has shown me a brighter way is the relationship I have with my best friend. I met her when I was a freshman in high school; we met through mutual

One day when it was really hot outside we went swimming in Vincent's pool and played marco polo. I was trying to escape the person who was it by going underwater and when I started to come up out of the water I felt someone's foot clawing at my back. Once I emerged I saw Matthew was the only person near me so i knew that he did so I yelled at him. He pleaded that it wasn't him and his friends backed him up so I decided to stop playing and sat in a chair near the pool looking at my painful wound. After they were done playing in the pool they wanted to jump on the trampoline. I joined them and had fun for a bit until Matthew sent me flying into the

Have you ever had a friend that stayed with you for over 12 years? I have, and it's been a long and exciting ride. Let me take you through this story that lasted that long. It all started when I was three years old. My Mom and Dad bought a Spider-Man bike. At the time the bike was too big for me so I had to wait until I was old enough to ride it. Finally, I was big enough to ride the little piece of metal on wheels I was waiting to ride for what felt like ages. my Mom, Dad and I went to Kennedy Park. I envisioned that I was going to crash. Although I was scared to ride that fear turned into excitement. Before I knew it, my Dad pushed me and my little red and blue bike down a grassy hill. That little moment got me that much closer to what

On September 18, 2004, I met my best friend in the school bathroom of all places. His name is Robert Oliver Newman Jr. Although Oliver happens to be a white boy he is still my best friend to this day. We attended multiple schools together. We even attend the same church. We are both Catholic.

Best friends get you through a lot. Friendship isn't about whom you have known the longest... It's about who came, and never left your side...

Teenager is a time where we are actually faced with many challenges and problems. We as teenager always have a bad impact in our society. In this age we have to choose which one is good or bad for ourselves. Don’t ever we choose the wrong path to made decision. If we made a wrong decision it can be a bad impact for us. We must make our dream come true. We have to listen to our parents and obey their advice. Those thing can prevent us from bad society. Not all of what we see and are offered to us is good for us. Lifestyle and healthy way of thinking so that we can continue to be on the right path.

When I started my high school, I found my current best friend, Marie. We are still friends to this day; she just left for college at George Mason. So once again I’m not with my best friend.

My best friend's name is Hailey Nesci. We met here at the University of Kentucky on the second day of school. It turns out that her cousin is one of my best guy friends at home- a suburb outside of Chicago. Days before leaving for school, Max (Hailey's cousin), told me to look out for his cousin because she was going to be rushing a sorority at UK just like me. In no way did I ever think I would actually meet her, let alone be best friends with her to this day, but when the first day of school came around we got assigned to the same "rush group" for our sorority. We all introduced ourselves and said where we were from. On the second day, we were walking around campus with our group and I asked her where in Chicago she was from, because she

The Age of Reason was a period of contemplation. This was also a time of growth in knowledge, enlightenment, and reasoning. This was a period of great change in the way man viewed himself, the universe, and God. Ways and ideas of America today happen to reflect the Age of Reason. In fact, enlightenment really hasn’t ended.
