Choosing friends

trouble. This is not a realistic characteristic of a best friend. Knowles attempted to create Finny as more of a foil to Gene than a best friend. This doesn’t convince the reader that Gene is innocent in his attentions to hangout with Finny and engage in dangerous activities with him. This suggests that Gene is just jealous of Finny and wants to encourage him to risk his life. I believe that Knowles does not correctly portray the way best friends act in high school. He tries to make the situation too

something, she thought. After school that day she gets a text from her best friend Alyssa. “Hey Hailey, my family is going to Denver this weekend and I wanted to know if you wanted to come with us.” “Sure!” Hailey replies. Alyssa has always been a great friend to Hailey and has stood up to the classmates who were making fun of Hailey. Hailey and Alyssa have been best friends since preschool and their families were really good friends. Hailey

Carter Freed and I are best friends, and I don’t know a single soul who’d tell you otherwise. We grew up in the early 2000s—a time when Carter and I would spend hours creating pieces of Lego art and when we loved the impossibly square yellow sponge who lived in the ocean. We were similar to other boys our age, of course, in the way that we chased girls on the playground but also tried to avoid them, or we’d get their cooties. Actually, we tended to stay away from girls in general; most often, we

to do a project together, ever since then everything changed. They got closer and eventually started hangout more. Claudio had never imagined dating Hero. Hero secretly had the biggest crush on Claudio since the day he saw her. They had the same friends already Jade, Jazz, Ben, Kade, Chris, and Laura. Hero never knew how to show his love for Claudio, besides bugging her. When they would hang out their connection was stronger than ever. They were always laughing, smiling, everyone saw their

parents always tell us to live. “Go outside!” they’d say. “Get off your phone!” For them, that wasn’t a problem. I wish life for us was like that. For us, it’s impossible to get a bunch of friends to go out and play a big game. We wouldn’t leave school and go do whatever we want. We need our parents to call our friends parents, check if they are around, double check, and sometimes even triple check. If we lived like Tom lived in 1876 life would be so much more enjoyable. Instead of sitting around inside

months. Eleven years without feeling the warmth of her own sun. Eleven years, a prisoner at the mercy of her own subjects. If only they could have been different. If only she could have been a better sister, then perhaps she could have been a better friend, and a better aunt. And… a better teacher. Now, she was left alone, and with nopony else to blame but herself, no matter how many names she cursed upon waking. In exactly one hour and twenty two minutes, the alarm did sound, but she was already

405 As the new president walked out onto the stage I closed my eyes and opened them again. I swear if Tia wasn't on that stage I was going to kill the person that was. The person lowered their hood and smiled to the audience. "Hi!" The girl smiled, she had one of those annoying seven year old voices, like she still hadn't properly grown up yet. I glared up at he girl on stage, she was the worst person to become president. "I'm Tiffany!" She said in that annoying fake happy tone. People around me

“I can’t even talk to you right now Caycie,” Tatum yells as she storms out of the Mountain Pass 8th grade doors. I run after her, completely confused to what has just happened in the bathroom 2 minutes ago. Tatum and I were just having a friendly conversation and then I brought up something about Austin, and she stormed out. Tatum really had never told me any problems that she had had with Austin so I really had no idea that she would flip her poop out on me like that. As I started to get angry,

Think of the best relationship you have had; whether it was with a best friend or a partner. What made that relationship work? Where there problems that had to be sorted throughout the relationship? Lastly, did that other person complete you or did they help you to become better and stronger? The factors that strengthen a relationship are striving for happiness, sorting any complications, and being forthright. Although many people may believe that their partner should complete them, partnership is

There was a friendly owl, Hooie, who had a friend named, Cluck. Cluck was a chicken who loved to play with his best friend, Cuddles. This monkey loved to play with his best friend, Walker. The dog only sometimes liked to play with Snuggles, a grumpy cat who thinks she is a queen. Snugs, her nickname, loved to play with Hip Hop. I bet you can’t guess, but Hip Hop also has a hamster for a friend named, Peanut. Now that you know who’s friends with who, I’ll tell you all about them. While flying around
