This story had a basic plot structure, just like any story would. It did not use strong, unique words, only more generic ones. The author focused more on the meaning behind the words, than the words themselves. His exposition started with the Camel being overcome by fatigue and being abandoned, then to the rising action being when the Camel finally felt happy living in the jungle. The precipitating incident is when the Lion was wounded and unable to catch food for his friends, and then it transitioned to the falling action, being the sacrifice proposal from the Fox. Lastly the Resolution is that the Camel was eaten by his rescuers after accepting his offer of sacrifice. The generic structure of this story helps us focus not on the narrative characteristics and figurative language, but on the meaning behind the story.
Topic: friendship

This story specifically values loyalty, nobility, and honesty. Throughout the course of the story, the camel is constantly treated badly. He was abandoned at the beginning, “The merchant decided to leave the camel and go on his way” and then betrayed with no hesitation at the end, “And in no time he was killed by the three rouges, the false friends.” Arundhati Khanwalker tries to teach the reader a lesson through the Camel’s experiences and hardships. Also, the moral, “Be careful in choosing your friends” refers to friendship being neglected, and those who initially took the camel in betrayed him by killing and eating him. After the Lion accepted the Camel’s request for sacrifice, “Stand aside friend leopard, the king and you have close family ties. It is me whom the master shall eat.”, he called him a noble camel, which portrays how much the Lion appreciated the offer and this situation portrays the value of nobility in the story.

Could be read as a cheerful, upbeat, satirical parable tracing the shift from a world of false belonging dominated by conformity, fear and the cynical manipulations of the ultra-sleaze Barry Fife, towards the iconic last scene where the line between spectators and professional dancers blurs and is dissolved as Scott dressed in Spanish-matador costume and Fran in Spanish-style red dress put passion back into dance, rescuing it from the deadening effect of the old brigade. Arguably the last scene enacts a vision of a more inclusive Australia that has gained freedom by including its newcomers and learning from them.

Belonging does not equal individuality in the ballroom dancing world so, in order to belong, you cannot be an individual. Not belonging does not equal exclusion from every group. So, finding a group to belong to is the key to happiness. A community can make its members feel either accepted or rejected if they fail to conform to the accepted norms. If enough people work together to challenge powerful or corrupt influences, then a new sense of belonging can emerge. This is often the case with generational change.
Topic: friendship

To belong is to be accepted, to be recognised, and to connect with others whether it may be with family, friends or culture. A sense of belonging is an instinctive human need in all of us as it gives us security, emotions whether they would be true or fake, and a connection or bond with others. Accepting or resisting belonging creates characteristics which define the individual. They are shown to have different forms of relationships with others in their life. Ultimately, these relationships whether based on artificial or real emotions, give the character a sense of identity and a sense of where they belong. Although it is seen as a vital requirement in everyday life, to belong is difficult as there are many barriers, and whether or not an individual can overcome these obstacles, it will essentially determine where the individual belongs. The experiences faced by the individuals also define their concept of belonging. There is always a place where everyone belongs.

Being based on the conformist ideas of ballroom dancing, Strictly Ballroom, an Australian film directed by Baz Luhrmann in 1992, clearly expresses the effects of wanting to belong and not belonging through several characters. The protagonist of the film, Scott Hastings struggles to express his individuality in the ballroom community. Due to his desire to be the pans-pacific champion, he is forced to dance his own style in the opening scene, which is seen as arrogant, by the ballroom community and as a result, he isn’t accepted for the way he is. Instead he is isolated from everybody because he resists to conform to their ways.

In the film, there is another world that is also explored in which the individual connects with family and culture. It is a world where everyone is connected despite their differences, it is the real world with real emotion, real passion and real feeling. Fran has a place in this world with her culture and family. In this case, when Scott chases after Fran he meets her family living on the outskirts of town possibly implying that they are outsiders. However, the roles are reversed. Fran is now somewhere she belongs, and Scott is excluded due to various barriers including language barriers and cultural differences. Scott is humiliated as he doesn’t perform the Paso Doble correctly due to the fact that he dances with the desire to win. As a result of not belonging he is taught by Fran’s family to dance from the heart to express authentic feeling. His instinct tells him he needs to belong with this world, in order to express his individuality.

are all colourful and flashy, while the outfit Fran wears is bland and plain, clearly showing that she doesn’t belong. As the film is ending, Baz Luhrmann uses the song “Love is in the Air” to not only outline the relationships between the characters but also to create an understanding of Scott recognising and accepting Fran for who she is. After the many experiences faced by the characters, Fran and Scott finally understand where they belong. They belong with each other. It is an instinctive need for people to belong which is evidently shown through the closing moments of the film, as everyone starts dancing, everyone belongs despite their differences, and everyone is accepted.

Disney’s The Lion King picture book written by Justine Korman relates to the idea that you do belong somewhere, but whether you accept it depends on the experiences the individual has faced. Inspired by the Shakespearean play, Hamlet, the storyline outlines where the characters truly belong. The main protagonist, Simba, is blamed for the death of his father who is King of the PrideLands, which was caused by his power hungry uncle, Scar. He is told to “run away and never return”. The idea is that Simba has been exiled and is better off not belonging with his pride. But as seen as in Strictly Ballroom, there is always a place where you belong, and its only instinct that the individual would want to belong. Simba is soon saved from possible death by a friendly duo that take him in to their jungle, into their home. They nurture him till he becomes a fully grown adult lion giving him a place to belong and feel secure.

Scott Monk’s novel, Raw relates to Strictly Ballroom, as the story implies that there is always a place where an individual belongs. Belonging is defined in this text as having people that you can rely on and have a good relationship with. Sam, the owner of the Farm, a correctional facility, commits himself to always being there and always being a reliable person to all the members of the Farm. Although at first the protagonist, Brett Dalton resists help and care from Sam, he cant stop his instinctive need to belong and have a connection with the members of the farm, such as having a friendship with Frog, Josh, and Sam. Scott Monk creates an understanding of belonging in this novel with imagery and dialogue, for example the scene where due to Brett’s actions, the whole Farm suffers and has to go on a long run, makes Brett feel isolated, like he’s being watched, and targeted, implying that he is an outcast and doesn’t belong.

Friendship is one of the most important relationships of people in their daily lives. It’s certainly a blessing if you have a lot of friends in your life. People make friends because they want to interact with someone who has the same interests and share their experiences and feelings. Some people think it is more important to keep one’s old friends than it is to make new friends. However, in my opinion, I cannot agree with this view one hundred percent, I think making new friends is also important in my life.

Thirdly, even though you have a great deal of friends, it doesn’t mean you have good quality friends. The best friendships are the ones that nurture you and help you grow to be a more complete person. Perhaps you have not met those one or two key friends who “get” you and will help you to feel comfortable. Therefore, don’t be afraid to get out and meet new friends, because one of them might unexpectedly change your life for the better.

As men are social animals, we cannot live alone. Every person must have a friend at least in his life as he has other kinds of relationships such as parents, teachers, partners, etc. There may be many kinds of friends. Some are good but some are bad. Some are patient but some are not. Some are rich but some are poor. Whatever the case, we will need good circle of friends to co-operate with us and help in promoting our abilites, chances and social status to a higher rank. There is a saying like “Do you have one enemy? That’s enough. But, if you have one thousand friends, that’s not enough.” This saying points out how important of making friends in one’s life. Actually, we have already been so familiar with the word “friend”.

We had been making friends with each other since prehistorical times. We built together our houses such as caves and lived together under the same roof by gathering each particular group. We hunted animals for food and fought enemies together. We could build our places from campfire to empires by using the strength based on our unity. Thus, our human revolutionary progress developed as a result of making friend. In our daily life, we cannot manage every activity including education, business, and others by ourselves without the other’s help. At schools and unversites, we have to take excercises, assignments, and study the lessons by either discussing or sharing ideas with our classmates rather than learning in classes by ourselves.

A sense of humor, great advice, and honesty are all things that come to mind when you think about a friend. Friends are important to have because they are a backbone when things get tough in life and are always there to love and support.

You normally would not mind having a cup of coffee with them, but if anything else came up, you would have no problem parting company. We see many people in the work. Sometimes we speak them compulsorily and we don’t remember even their face. While we are on the bus, we come across some people who get on the bus regulars like us. Therefore we call them as an acquaintance. Someone you know socially or through the business world would be called an acquaintance if you don’t know them well personally.
Topic: friendship

An acquaintance can remain a personal or business contact for you or can become a friend at some point. It depends on the relationship and the people involved. You may have some acquaintances you see over and over throughout your life that you never really get to know. However, they are still good people to know because they can connect you to potential friends. This group includes people who one talks to out of awkward obligation. Observed in their natural habitats of classrooms, bus seats, and the general public acquaintances are random encounters. A person often speaks to this species out of necessity, loneliness, or boredom. For instance, when a person is alone in the bus station with nothing to do, they see a person reading a magazine and decide to make conversation about that magazine. This is not done to bother the other person, and usually both people don’t care but it’s a tool to make a person feel less alone. This sect of friends does not evolve past a random encounter or conversation. Acquaintances include people who one exploits for their own personal gain.
Topic: friendship

The second category of friends is a social partner. One you often meet at social occasions, or one who may accompany you to social gatherings, but with whom you don’t have a personal relationship. This is because they are closer than acquaintances, but nowhere near as close as a true friend. Social partners are usually acquaintances who evolve into “guest friends” through increased extracurricular activities. You know their name, a little of what they like or dislike, a little of their family history, and usually have several things in common. As the saying goes, “Birds of a feather flock together,” so too the social partners have to have several things in common with you. No one is going to want to spend any more time than necessary with somebody completely opposite and aggravating to him.
Topic: friendship

The last type of friend is the “best friend.” Normally, you know them the longest and you probably grew up together as children. He or she knows everything about you. Likewise, you know everything about him or her. They are basically like family. You would have no problem if they spent the night at your house. You know each other’s habits and can always tell when there is something wrong. You would not hesitate to share your deepest feelings or thoughts with them. A best friend has no problem correcting you when you are wrong, or being stern with you when you are out of line. They will see you through when others see that you are through.

He/she will always be there for you. They are not perfect, but at least they will always look out for you and never do anything intentionally to hurt you. They are there to find national solutions to the many unexpected problems that life presents for us. “Best friends” are very important to us, because we share with them something which are secrets things that have not be known by anybody. They are very generous people. For example, when we have not enough money, they lend us. When we fall into bad condition, they cheer us up. They support us.
Topic: friendship

In conclusion; we always meet people and classify them in terms of their personalities. There are three types of friends. The first type of friends is simply an acquaintance. The second is the social friend. Finally the best friends. We will always encounter those types of friends in our lives. Every friend has a different type of character. Some friends are helpful while some friends are caring. No matter what traits they have as long as we interest and comfort each other. Friends caneither make or break us.
Topic: friendship

Most of us have friends and anyone can have one too. But what is friendship? Friendship can be defined as the mutual relationship that occurs between two individuals. It is created when one is feeling comfort and emotionally safe when sharing his/her thoughts with the other. For one to be called a friend, then that person should be in a position of showing a better understanding of the other and also assures him or her to be by his or her side in every emotional crisis.
Topic: friendship

Honesty in friendship means that the friends will tell the truth about any action taken, being sincere, fair, honorable, and loyal towards the maintenance of their relationship. When friends are honest to each other, one should be able to tell another the negative attributes possessed by him or her and try to make the situation better. Honesty in friendship is also created when there is a bond and trust created between the parties such that there is an unconditional openness created in every individual. Friendship is not based on opportunists.
Topic: friendship

This means that the friendship is not created for the purpose of having something malicious to gain from the relationship. True friendship basically portrays selflessness; one should not view the other as taking advantage of him or her after establishing a relationship. In true friendship, a relationship is created where people trust and love one another unconditionally. One should not take advantage of the other when trouble overcomes another. Opportunists run away when the benefits flicker off, but true friendship does not base their relationship on material aspects but on the emotional and psychological foundations.

Firstly, let’s define friendship, WHAT IS FRIENDSHIP? …. well, friendship consists of true friends that can make you laugh when skies are the darkest , true friends that will even hurt you only if it’s for your own good, friends that will protect you under any circumstances and friends that will make you feel like you’re on the top of the world when you’re feeling crushed to the ground.

Nowadays, everyone has a smartphone, tablets, or any other kinds of mobile devices. And one of the most appealing traits of these devices is accelerating the dissemination of information and knowledge, which means you can grab any news you’re interested in anytime and anywhere. However, the mobile devices have also destroyed communication among our friends and family. For instance, when I went out with my friends and had a dinner with them, most of us just focused on the tiny little screens on our hands without talking to each other.

3 THOUGHTS ON “SMARTPHONES AND TABLETS HAVE DESTROYED COMMUNICATION AMONG FRIENDS.” You’re right about this; it’s such a shame that people really don’t talk face-to-face anymore. I like to make a rule at family meals that we all put away the phones and gadgets for the time that we’re eating. It helps to make a shoebox or something that everyone can put their stuff in so everyone knows no one else is checking theirs.

Second, treating animals is also ethically important. Although the ethical codes in different countries have various roots, such as Christianity, Islam, or various cultural traditions, human beings generally believe in the Golden Rule, i.e. treat others as one would like others to treat oneself. Since animals have emotions as human beings, this rule applies equally between animals and humans. It can be found that in countries where animals are mistreated, human dignity is often trampled without compassion.
Topic: friendship

Last but not least, the issue also carries social significance. As human beings dwell in the ecosphere of the Earth, it is every person’s responsibility to preserve the balance of nature. The famous concept of butterfly effect may have been exaggerated, but human invasion into nature has brought a series of catastrophes to the fauna world with far-reaching, unpredictable consequences. A primary reason of such misdeeds is that human beings did not consider animals as legitimate members of this ecosphere and deprived of their rights lightheartedly. Generations of human beings have witnessed numerous of natural disasters caused by breaking the ecological balance. Global warming, deforestation, excessive urbanization and so on are just a few examples of this long list of potential disasters.

I’ll be there for you, like I’ve been there before. I’ll be there for you, because you’re there for me too.” Also before I end this speech, I would like you to reflect another quotation for my FRIENDS: ‘ the greatest value of having good friends is not what you get from them, but the better person you become because of them’.

“Housekeeping operations are turning eco-friendly.” Discuss. According to Kasavana, 2008 said that there have many specific great efforts in the hospitality industry which have provided the basis for some firms or company gaining a competitive advantage through enhanced imaging based on conservation and sustainability initiatives over the past several years. Therefore, nowadays, some views from every aspect of the hospitality industry are being impacted by this movement or development. It can evidence by Web sites and directories promoting green travel destinations,

In addition, housekeeping is an operational department in a hotel which to bear the responsibility in cleanliness, maintenance, aesthetic upkeep of room, publics area, back area and the surrounding of the hotel (G.Raghubalan, 2009). Therefore, there are many advantages can be used if housekeeping operations are turning eco-friendly. One of the advantages of housekeeping operations are turning eco-friendly is it can towards the environment. Green Cleaning can be simply defined as cleaning that it has a reduced impact on the environment.
Topic: friendship

Normally, green cleaning products are made from renewable natural resources. In addition, it also can help hotels to reduced cost and increased profits as well as good housekeeping practices and appropriately eco-friendly equipment will greatly increase sustainability and reduce pollution on the property. For instance, The Renaissance Vancouver Hotel Harbourside’s purchasing non-hazardous cleaning products which are green cleaning products such as white vinegar, baking soda, borax, hydrogen peroxide and rubbing alcohol are alternatives while soda water can be used to clean windows and mirrors (Munro, 2008). Besides that, waste management is advantages of housekeeping operations turning eco-friendly. Nowadays, waste generation is one of the most visible effects on the environment. One of them has estimated and identified that if an average hotel produces in excess of one kilogram of waste per guest per day, there are 50-60 percent of the waste materials in an accommodation facility can be recycled or reused (Sonya Graci, 2010).
Topic: friendship

Therefore, waste management is encouraging everyone to know the right ways on how they can dispose the waste that they generate on a daily basis. For instance, Gayana Eco Resort has used recycled products whenever possible. They encourage staff to reduce wastage as well as get the basis compositing materials techniques for the re-sage of organic material in our landscape and environment. Besides that, they also encourage staff to separate the recyclable rubbish from non-recyclable rubbish so that it is easy for them to complete the job in short time. However, as they are on an island, they will make sure that the rubbish is safely transported back to the mainland for proper disposal. On the other hand, advantage of housekeeping operations turning eco-friendly is it can protect and conserve our natural resources.
Topic: friendship

Towel and linen reuse program can implement to conserve the natural resources. This is because towel and linen reuse program can dramatically reduce the impact of hotels on the environment by saving water, emissions of CO2 which from the energy consumed, detergent and the need for the associated waste water treatment and disposal. In addition, housekeeping staff also have more time to spend on tasks other than changing bed linen and towels. There are more than 3,400 hotels in the USA have offer towel and linen programs. They are most successful with business travellers and conference delegates who typically do not spend much time in their rooms; however they may be more familiar with initiatives adopted by the tourism industry in Europe (Darren Cook, 2005). For instance, Tower and linen reuse program has been implemented in Hotel Hilton Portland & Executive Tower in United States. They have changed the towels and linens in every 3 days to comply with their Health codes. While the cards that indicating this program are placed in each of the guestrooms (Green Vacation Hub, 2008).
Topic: friendship

Furthermore, housekeeping operations are turning eco-friendly can bring an advantage, which is reducing energy use from lighting. This is because when housekeeping operations are turning eco-friendly, some of the hotels will take action in smart use of energy. Normally, lighting can account for 20 to 50 percent of our energy bill; however, it is also can be one of the areas where saving energy is easy and in-expensive. In Gayana Eco Resort, as they are situated on an island, the resort is powered by their own generator set. Therefore, they have to do the most to reduce consumption such as by using the energy saving light bulbs. For instance, they have prepared a system which is automatic light around the hotel guestrooms, lobbies, and hallways will be extinguishing by special room keys. Moreover, the head of housekeeping also have educated staffs of the hotel to save energy whenever possible. Thus, it can more effective in reducing energy use from lighting if all staffs are cooperation with each other.
Topic: friendship

Finally, protect water quality and save money also can be one of the advantages in housekeeping operations turning eco-friendly, which means that the less water you use, the less you have to pay for. This is because less water consumption can lowers energy costs from reduced treating, pumping, and heating requirements. Therefore, Gayana Eco Resort has implemented a smart use of water program. For instance, they have their own water reservoir which can collect rain water and water supply tanks to ensure the constant supply of water. In particular, collected rainwater can be used for irrigation ditch, vehicle washing, and flushing toilets as well as other indoor activities which for non-drinking water uses. In this perspective, Gayana Eco Resort has recently installed a water treatment water plant so they can recycle their water into “Grey Water” for the purposes of toilet flushing and watering plants.
Topic: friendship

In summary, I am agree with the task that housekeeping operations are turning eco-friendly has provide more advantages to the environment and people. Eco- friendly has created more positive impact on the environment condition. Besides that, eco-friendly also help hotels to save lots of money and it has success to increase their occupancy as today guests who demand “green alternatives” that makes staff of hotel motivated and willing to take actions towards greater environmental responsibility (Rachna Chandan, 2010). Therefore, related department has to take action in early contribute to save our planet. Additionally, small initiative of eco-friendly which taken by the hotel can be helpful in saving global warming issues and guests will fully aware about the changes going in our environment and their after-effects.

The text under analysis is an essay Friends. Good friends – and such good friends. Written by Judith Viort. It belongs to the publicistic functional style. As professor Galperin defines it, “an essay is a literary composition of moderate length on philosophical, social, aesthetic or literary subjects. It never does deep into the subject but merely touches upon it.” The most essential feature of the essay is personality of approach to the subject of study and relative freedom and naturalness of expression, which is definitely contrary to the scientific way of presentation.

The essay we deal with may be referred to the descriptive on the one hand as the author describes different types of friendship and also reflective because the author contemplates about the types of friendship, referrers to her own experience and referrers other people experiences as well. The title of the essay is Friends. Good friends – and such good friends. The author introduces the subject matter of it. It already becomes clear that she is going to classify types of friendship Friends.

Before starting her classification Judith Viort describes her attitude to a classical type of friendship, the way she used to treat friendship: “Women are friends, I once would have said,…” then goes a classification with the help of imperative sentences: “Convenience friends.” Where she explains to the readers that we all have people whom we cross everywhere we go and that’s why we have to communicate with them. “ Special-interest friends.” – people who happened to visit the same places of interest that we do. “ Historical friends.” – people who know us since our childhood. “Crossroads friends.” – people who will be always our friends for those years, dramas and dreams they once shared. “Cross-generational friends.” – friendship between people who are much older or younger than we are. “Part-of-a-couple friends.” – people whom we never see alone, they are always with someone. “Men who are friends.” – except friendship there is always some flirt. Considering this last type of friendship I agree with the statement that: “the sexual part, though small, is always some, it’s always there when a man and a woman are friends.” I think there can’t be just friendship between a man and a woman, there is a part of flirt too. “There’s always sex hiding away somewhere inside a friendly relationship between a man and a woman,” said Lilian Rubin, a sociologist. “A sexual undertone of friendship makes it especially attractive or even sensual. Relationship experts have said. “The belief that men and women can’t be friends comes from another era in which women were at home and men were in the workplace, and the only way they could get together was for romance,” explained Linda Sapadin, a psychologist in Valley Stream, New York.

To make her essay brighter Judith Viort resorts to a number of stylistic devices and though they are not numerous still most of them contribute to the general impression of an essay. The majority of stylistic devises and expressive means are trite and mostly observed on the syntactical level. Judith Viort intentially avoids using authentic stylistic devises and expressive means as she pursues the aim not to impress the reader by her eloquence but to share her idea as far as friendship and its varieties is concerned. She employs a number of parallel constructions based on anaphora to lay emphasis on a repeated word: “Women are friends, I once would have said, when they totally… “ and “Women are friends, I once would have said, when they share…” There are also parenthesis to give an additional information: “Women are friends, I once would have said, when they totally…” and “…and run – no questions asked – to help each other…” She also uses polysyndeton to increase the rhythm of prose: “…love and support and trust each other, and bare to each other secrets of their souls, and run…and tell harsh truths to each other…” There is also an enumeration in the text to give a wider picture to the reader: “…Ingmar Bergman, plus train rides, cats, warm rain, charades, Camus, And hate with equal ardor Newark and Brousels sprouts and Lawrence Welk and camping.” Except an enumeration there is also a semantic false chain in this sentence and polysyndeton in the end of it(repeated –and – ) . Tautologies are also presented: “…a friend is a friend all the way..” and “Convenience friends are convenient indeed.”

The author uses an inversion in the text: “For the friendship I have and the friendship I see are conducted at many levels of intensity…” There is also some epithets: “all-the-way”, “a next-door-neighbor”, “shopping friend”, “Tuesday-doubles friends”, “public face”. We come across parenthesis again: “These are women with whom, if our paths weren’t crossing all the time, we’d have no…” and “But we don’t, with convenience friends, ever come too close…”Plus emphetic usage of – too –. Anaphoric repetition: “They’ll…They’ll…They’ll…They’ll…” There is also parallel construction based on anadiplosis: “…being overweight but not about being depressed…being mad but not blind with rage…we’re pinched this month but never that I’m worried sick over money.” And this sentence is also an antithesis.
Topic: friendship

We come across an example of enumerational polysyndetum: “…an office friend or a yoga friend or a tennis friend or a friend from the Women’s Democratic club.” We also found lots of quotations in the text such as: “I’ve got one women friend,” says Joyce, “who likes, as I do, to take psychology courses…” Anaphora: “It’s fun to go with someone you know and it’s fun to discuss what you’ve learned…” There is a tautology again: “I’d say that what we’re doing is doing together, not being together.” Emphatic construction: “…a woman who knows exactly where to buy what…” Also we come across emotional parenthesis: “But since (oh, shame!) Polysyndeton: “…when our family lived…when our dad was out of work…when our brother Allie got in…when our sister married…” The author uses periphrasis to emphasize the features of the object in question: “Who knows how we looked before our teeth were straightened.”

There is also chiasmus in the text: “What this friend means to me and what I mean to her…” We come across an asyndeton in the text: “A time, perhaps, when we roomed in college together; or worked as eager young singles in the Big City together; or went together….” Anadiplosis is used to make emphasis on the object: “Crossroads friends forge powerful links, links strong enough…” Parenthesis: “…to be revived – and though we may rarely meet, whenever we do connect…” and: “She thinks – and I agree – that the sexual part…” There is also an emphatic construction in the text: “who has lived very hard, who is wise, who listens well, who has been where I am…and who represents not only…” Antithesis: “But the fact that our feeling on seeing each other…and the fact that we spend half…” Enumeration plus gradation: “There are medium friends, and pretty good friends, and very good friends indeed…” Parenthesis: “The best of friends, I still believe, totally love and support..” with emphatic – still – And chiasmus in the end: “…as I am for them and as they are for me…” As for the idea of the essay I may say that the publicist Judith Viort feels sorry about lack of a true friendship, she misses it because nowadays true friendship is a real treasure in our cruel and violent world. I agree with the essayist’s point of view due to types of friendship and value of it nowadays. I think that friendship is a gift and not everyone can appreciate it and that’s why very often we lose good people because we just didn’t realize how lucky we were having them. From my point of view this essay is written in an ironic tone because there are lots of different examples woman’s friendship and lots of quotation of glamorous women.

Friendship is ever-present and a necessity in leading a satisfying life. This is evident in the novella “Of Mice and Men” by John Steinbeck. The story takes off in the Depression Era, a time when distrust was abundant and dreams were constantly shattered. Our main characters, George and Lennie, set off seeking a new beginning to their lives but things take a turn for the worse; despite this, their friendship still flourishes and flowers in the midst of all the obstacles.

Between the two main characters, George is more intelligent, but to survive, he cares for and loves Lennie in all the ways that he can. George has foresight and creates back-up plans for Lennie if the situations turn sour, telling Lennie,“ Hide in the brush till I come for you. Can you remember that? ” (17). Lennie, on the other hand, keeps George hopeful and upbeat, motivating him by saying, “Come on, George. Tell me. Please, George. Like you done before” (14).

There is some irony in there being so much optimism in two migrant, low class workers but the two make it work. By keeping this dream alive the two have something to work for, something to put their fifty dollars a month towards. This dream also serves as quite the problem solver for the two. Each time Lennie gets into trouble, George ends up worrying about the consequences. Lennie puts George at ease by reminding him of the dream and George always ends up forgiving Lennie.
Topic: friendship

the story, Lennie confesses to “doing another bad thing” (44) but George just brushes it off, saying, “It don’t make no difference” (13). At the beginning, however, George admits to Slim that he had done something bad to Lennie and in this case Lennie forgives him. Throughout any relationship there are bound to be ups and downs and George and Lennie maintain a healthy friendship by forgiveness. Steinbeck gave George’s character quite a big heart because he may complain about his misfortunes whilst staying with Lennie but he never leaves Lennie’s side.

“True friendship multiplies the good in life and divides its evils. Strive to have friends, for life without friends is like life on a desert island… to find one real friend in a lifetime is good fortune; to keep him is a blessing.” I believe friendship is a powerful word. It doesn’t just mean being friends with someone; it has more meaning to that. We all choose who we want as friends, we all want certain qualities much like ours, but also qualities that we might want that could complete us and this we look in other people.

Someone who understands my most insane idea and agrees with it. A friend who can help me reach my goals, not pull me to the bottom. Someone who can walk into your house and make him or herself at home, eat all the food in your fridge. Someone who can surprise me, go on crazy adventures and share each other’s dreams. Someone who will not let you fall. A true friend is the one that is still there when the rest of the world walks out. But most importantly I want trust in the friendship. No matter what happens they will be there at the end of the day to say they messed up with me and let’s go out and get ice cream.
