The View From Saturday By El Konigsberg

The novel ‘the outsiders’ is making the same point about friendship as the film ‘rebel without a cause’ as they both convey the idea that during this time, friendship was very important to all teenagers as they are more independent and spend more time away from their families, and aren’t as close.

The short story “Sunday in the Park” by Bel Kaufman contains many different themes. A theme presented in this story is how society expects certain behaviors on the roles men have. People use those stereotypes to define strangers when they walk by, but are they always true?

While many obstacles get in the way of friendship, true friendship still lives, even in silence. In the book, The Chosen , By Chaim Potok, two boys, Reuven Malter and Danny Saunders, who are very religiously different and both raised in completely opposite ways, develops a deep friendship. Their friendship opens up their worldview to many other different viewpoints in life. The friendship between these two boys is one with great religious significance, starting off with destiny and Gods will. As Danny and Reuven’s Friendship develops, it teaches them to respond wisely to the values of the more complex and secular world. It also teaches the true value of friendship. Because Danny’s father, Reb

Throughout this book, there are a lot of themes but one good one, in particular, is that true friends stick together until the end. There are a lot of examples of this because there were so many hardships where the kids stuck together. One of these examples is when Minho goes out into the storm to get Thomas up and saves his life. “Then someone was grabbing him, pulling him to his feet. Minho” (Dashner

One such value of friendship that is demonstrated to be of major importance throughout the novel is loyalty, and how important it truly is to a friendship. Furthermore, the novel also demonstrates how vital support is as a value of friendship, and how it can both amend and create them. On top

Friendship opens our minds to different views and perspectives and change our perceptions. It has the power to change people’s views on life in a positive way. True friends will do anything to keep their friendship alive, no matter the barriers. Potok proves through the friendship of Danny and Reuven that friendship can be achieved no matter the barriers. He proves that friendship is a key value to life through his motif

Friendship. What is friendship? Wikipedia defines friendship as “a relationship of mutual affection between two or more people. Friendship is a stronger form of interpersonal bond than an association.”, which is exactly what I think is friendship. I know most of my friends for many, many years and throughout these years we had fights and good moments and this is what forms this strong “interpersonal bond” also known as friendship. In our novel Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet Henry and his friends faces different challenges throughout the story which strengthens their ties. In Jamie Ford’s novel Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet, Ford communicates the theme that friendship is needed especially during difficult times through the character’s actions in the books.

Friendship is a very valuable thing because it can get people through the hardest of times, as shown in Nancy Farmer’s House of the Scorpion, where the reign of El Patron over his country, Opium, is overthrown by his own clone, Matteo Alacran, with the help of his few friends, whom he keeps through loyalty and compassion.

     Friendship played a big part in the story. All the incidents that happened between friends throughout the book led to the tragic end . One thing can make you believe you can accomplish anything in the world. George believed in himself to accomplish his goal of having a farm , but at the end

I feel sudden sympathy for Ethan in the novella due to how restricted his existence seems to be. Ethan is presented as a tragic hero due to the fact his kindness and good will hold him back from his possible future endeavors. This effects Ethan in the long run as he starts to lose his sanity and goes beyond breaking point which leads to a catastrophic mistake and all he has left is the struggle of the long, lonely years to come. His fatal flaw was his inability to think past kindness and loyalty and look forward towards prosperity and love. He even considered calling off Mattie's suicide to feed his beloved sorrel going hungry, this showed his weakness in incredibly serious situations. No one dies in this novella. Warton still creates a terrible, memorable ending by presenting what he could have been and how he threw away himself. Ethan was always inevitably going to struggle to deal with finding first love but because they are so restricted it almost brings Mattie and him closer together with metaphorical walls crumbling around

Friendship is mandatory to be able to trust and rely on one another. Hinton writes about troubles that Ponyboy goes through and how his friends have a great impact on these experiences. For example, Johnny killed Bob who was a member of the Socs, because he saw that Bob along with other Socs were trying to drown Ponyboy. He knew that he’d be in trouble, and he could have just left then and there. Instead, he killed Bob because they were hurting Ponyboy. Another situation where the author shows the theme of friendship is when Ponyboy got jumped and his whole gang came to help him. They were always ready to help a member of their group. Also, the situation when the church was on fire and Dally went to try and save Johnny, shows friendship as well. In chapter 6, Jerry, who Ponyboy thinks is one of the school’s teachers, says, “We think the towheaded kid is going to be all right. He burned one arm pretty badly, though, trying to drag the other kid out of the window,” (pg. 95). This tells us that Dally, who at first wouldn’t help the children in the church, helped Johnny get out because he was his friend and he cared about him. This shows how Dally demonstrates his friendship.

In the movie/ book the outsiders it shows a great examples of friendship and how important it is. In the outsiders it shows a great example of friendship, and it is The people in the outsiders always stand up for each other no matter what. This shows the friendship between all the people in the gang, like how they live in the same house, how sad they were when johnny died, and how they stand up for each other when needed. The first example of friendship in the outsiders is when Johnny died, everyone was very sad and depressed.

The Novel Just Friends shows a great relationship between the characters Ethan and August. It begins with three friends who have a tight bond, two of the friends had been best friends since grade school when they meet at his 7th birthday party. They have had a tight friendship through high school and onto college. The third friend, Max came into their group in high school they all went onto college together and did everything together.

Overall, “Just Friends” was an amazing book and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a romance/action novel. It takes you through a rollercoaster of emotions and makes you not want to put the book down. If you do decide to read this book, I hope you enjoy August and Ethan’s adventure just as much as I

Ronald Reagan once said, “We fought a war on poverty, and poverty won.” I read the book, Dancing in the dark by Morris Dickstein. This book was about the great depression, and the impacts it had on American life. The traditional thought of poverty, people dying of hunger and people lying in the roads, has been erased. America has abolished poverty by the traditional standards but the thought of poverty and what it is has changed. In America we consider poverty to be spending all your money on bills, so you have no money left for food to feed your family. We consider poverty to be just being poor. One-Third of our population makes less than $38,000. This is not enough to be able to be above the poverty line. Anything below this
