The Search For Margo's Friendships In Papertown

Friendship is one of the key character traits in the novella. For instance, friendship would be Lennie and George, their friendship is what holds them together and although Lennie is not smart, George still accompanies him as a friend. Continuously as George play more tricks on Lennie he began to see how Lennie didn't care for the tricks, he knew he had a friend. Another example would be Candy and his pet. How candy has had his dog for a while describing how he had his dog since he was a puppy; and how they had herded sheep together. Even though everyone else hated the

For instance, Q says ¨I let myself imagine the way Lacey’s SUV would smell after one day of roasting in the sun, and i'll admit that a kind of serenity washed over me. And then Margo said,¨Put an M on the roof for me.¨ I didn't have to think about it for a full second before I nodded.¨(Green 52) Now Q has changed from being a nervous person to a person who is brave. This is not only helping Q become a Braver person but it is also making a better relationship between both of them. Q has now changed and now is willing to take risks and is going to do all it takes to find Margo. For instance, Q says, ¨She wanted me to play out the string, to find the place where she had stopped and was waiting for me, to follow the breadcrumb trail until it dead-ended into her.¨(Green 117) Now Q has a feeling that these clues are for him and for him to use these clues to find Margo. Q uses faith and clues to push his way closer and closer to Margo and every time he finds another clue he is given more courage. Q followed the clues and found Margo and when he got there he realized that as everyone was putting her as a perfect person she couldn't live up to those standards, and the only way to get away from all of that mess was to leave. For instance, Q says,¨That I realize that the idea is not wrong but dangerous. What a treacherous thing it is to believe that a person is more than a person.¨(Green 282) It was unfair to put someone up to standards that they could never achieve. Margo tried to act different around different people to try to live up to everyone's standards but she was tired of being fake and wanted to change and become the real Margo not the Margo that everyone wanted her to

Friendship is another major theme in the novel, John Marsden uses this theme to overlap with other issues like survival and war. The characters of the novel all depend on those around them for help and support in everything they do. Friendship provides people with strength, hope and love, and all these things help a person overcome tragedies, death, and moments when it seems life isn’t worth living. An example from the novel would be when Corrie’s house is blown up, she is devastated and it is only with the support of the others that she can continue. A real life issue about friendship/love and survival would be the incident with the Beaconsfield miners. The miners were sure they would die, but with the thought in there heads of family and friends outside waiting for there arrival, they continued on battling for there lives, relying only on the support of loved ones. When Lee was shot in the leg by soldiers, Robyn carried Lee over her shoulder until it was safe enough to treat the wound. Robyn overcame her fear of blood and cuts, to save Lee from infection and disease. John Marsden uses techniques like first person

Good friendships make life easier. Of Mice and Men, by John Steinbeck, is about two men, George and Lennie, who go on various journeys in order to get a job. Although George would consider Lennie to be his closest friend, he ultimately ends up shooting and killing Lennie. George did this, not out of hatred, but rather out of protection. A good friend will always want what is best for one another. Steinbeck uses his protagonists’ friendship in order to show that true friendship can help make any of life’s hardships less difficult.

Of Mice and Men may be the most thrilling, suspenseful story of its era. The theme builds on friendship. How are some of the characters are lonely? Also how Steinbeck portrays friendship in this novel. What I think this book is about is having life long friends and, is it always the way to go even if you have to do something so bad I will end the friendship.

A shy, introverted, and intellectual young man must understand the values of friendship in order to overcome the threat of war and chaos that is happening around him and within him. A novel written by the author John Knowles, tells the story of Gene Forrester, whose envious personality and hasty decisions can inevitably ruin lives.

Friendship is a combination of admiration, respect, jealousy, and resentment. This is one of the biggest themes any book can tell, friendships are full of hard shops, stress, memories, and can make you a happier person. It’s always important to have a friend that knows you better than you know yourself. I think that another important theme that this novel gets across is, warfare, not only does this story take place during World War 2, but it teaches your personal warfare. Feelings of hostility, resentment, and fear dominate even what should be the most peaceful of

Loyalty through friendship is a strong theme throughout this novel. The main characters come from very different backgrounds and beliefs. David is a young man of seventeen who has no fighting experience and has been brought up as a Protestant Whig and has a good moral towards what is right and wrong . On the contrair Alan is a rebelitious, adventurists who has been raised as a Catholic Jacobite who will kill for the cause. These two characters on principal should not be friends however because of their respect of each other they overcome their differences in background and become extremely loyal to each other. The relationship starts when the Captain

When characters struggle, their true personalities shine through, leaving them with their true friends who were the ones who stood by them in a time of change. In Of Mice and Men, by John Steinbeck, Lennie struggles with a new job, but has a goal in mind and a promise to George. This promise keeps Lennie from spiraling off, George keeps Lennie going. I believe George and Lennie had a true friendship which was shown through the challenges they faced. Of Mice and Men and “Friendship in an Age of Economics” by Todd May, show not only true friendships, but different types of friendships and how they help characters make decisions.

These friendships above shown through Lennie, George and Candy give the readers a clear example of what a strong friendship looks and feels like. George and Lennie had an unbreakable bond that shined throughout the novel. The lead migrant worker, Slim, also saw how unbreakable their friendship really is and how valuable their friendship is. George and Lennie’s companionship is so strong that when they get in an argument they immediately forgive each other. Lennie and George aren’t the only friendship shined throughout the novel.

Friendship is building relationships and creating a mutual agreement. Within the novel Ship Breaker, friendship is portrayed as staying true to one’s word and being loyal to one another.

Blue Eyes (Richard’s worker) shows that she is loyal to Richard (Nailer’s father) by giving her life to follow Richard’s orders.

“A true friend is someone who is there for you when he’d rather be anywhere else” (Len Wein). Friendship is so important in our live, the unique thing about friendship is that it is based on a true friend, a friend that would rather die with you instead of leaving you die by yourself. When you work in a ranch, the only way to have people who would care about you is by making friends, because when someone work in a ranch they do not have something to look for except for making money; you do not have family to look for it is just you and your friends if you have some. In the book of mice and men, friendship was presented in at least two ways. The first the theme of friendship was performed in the book was when George decided to take Lennie and escape to Soledad in California, and the second time was when George warned Lennie not to drink from the river’s water.

A furious Margo Maultasch jerked back from the Mirror of Crystals as a fountain of water popped from the surface.
