Friendship is what makes the world go round. Without friendship, life would be plain, lonely, and boring. Friends are people you can talk to when you have no one that will listen, they are a shoulder you can cry on when you’re all alone. Friends can make you smile when you’re sad and stick up for you when you need them most. There are many different types of friends and it's hard to decide who’s a friend and who isn’t. Sometimes, people think they have new friends, but honestly they don’t. Like true love, you can’t make a friend in a couple minutes. Even if you think you have, that so called “friend” can stab you in the back in a matter of seconds.…

The pure definition of friendship is defined on one’s own notion. In The Things They Carried, Rat Kiley and Curt Lemon had a bona fide friendship that was equivalent to no other friendship. Mark Fossie and Mary Anne Bell also had a friendship that was beyond than just a friendship. Both relationships were so complementary but yet contradicted each other sufficiently.…

In our modern world we categorize true friends into a group of individualistic people. They are viewed as someone who will always be there to lean on, someone who will listen to your dilemmas with a deep insight, and in return, give you a response that is free from criticism. True friends are loaners of shoulders to cry on, an answer to a bad day that needs healing, and people who carry the identity that they are willing to give up anything for their companion.…

A friend is supposed to be there for you through thick and thin. Friends stick by your side no matter what and have your best interest in hand. There for, these people I considered friends, were not my friends, but bad influences.…
