When my friends are fighting I tell them many things, but one of the most important things I tell them is to treat others the way they want to be treated. When my friends don’t agree, I try to get them to talk about the problem and how we can fix it. For example, if two friends are fighting over another friend, I would tell them that they can all be friends and play together, because the friend they’re fighting over has enough room in her heart for everyone.…
“Men are governed by lines of intellect - women: by curves of emotion.” (Joyce) Women, when making decisions, or in this case writing poems, are more affected by emotion and events around them. The year 1923 was during an era that brought many new ways in which women were viewed due to the end of the women’s rights movement. The 19th amendment had been passed 3 years prior giving women the right to vote and more of a voice in society. Also around this time, Edna St. Vincent Millay wrote the poem “I, Being a Woman, and Distressed”. The poem and Millay’s personality have a very feminist and independent feel which was against society’s expectations at the time. Millay was impacted by contemporary events when writing her poem and uses diction,…
I believe it all starts with authentic communication which refers to communication that is open and free from pretense. We expect our closest friends to be authentic, or "real" with us. It is because we are connecting with their true selves and we ourselves are also able to be our truest selves with them inside the friendship. The primary and most important thing that authentic communicators do is always allow others to speak. Denying our closest friends the right to communicate authentically can lead to termination of the relationship. Being open in your…
In the article “Brad Blanton: Honestly Tell the Truth” he says that telling the truth can keep a relationship based on reality while also saying that lying keeps people locked their own mind. He states that. “‘ Many people think think they tell the truth, but they don’t because they withhold information. Have the courage to be honest and have a relationship with others based on reality’” (5). If people did not lie then they know that their relationships with friends are based off of facts and not manipulated information. However most relationships are not perfect and some relations might even end if everyone did not withdraw information to one another.The article also says that, “‘But it’s just as likely that you’ll end up losing people whom you don’t want around you anyway’” (15). But if people be honest to each other, they might lose people that they actually want in their lives. Being honest is good but if one is honest they are very likely to offend people and lose friendships in the end. In conclusion, Blanton says that telling the truth can help a relationship with a friend as well as saying that lying keeps people locked in their own minds however relationships can never be perfect and if people were honest they might lose their…

Romeo and Juliet. A tragic story about two young star-crossed lovers, known by many throughout the world.

People say “tell me the truth, I can handle it.” But really inside, they don’t want the truth; they want you to tell them something that is going to make them feel good. What if a friend asked you a question that if you were to be honest, forced you to say something that was likely to hurt their feelings? For instance, “do I look fat in this?” As a good friend, you’re supposed to tell them what they want to hear. Lying to them this way doesn’t make you a bad friend; I believe it makes you a better one…
Respect for each another is imperative in a friendship. Everyone has secrets, so one should not press for answers when the other is clearly unwilling to share the information. If the person wants to share the secret, it is important to be a good listener. One should be responsible by never compromising a friend’s trust and revealing it to other people. In addition to being considerate of another’s privacy, a good friend should not be too judgmental. Although one should never be afraid to contradict a friend, as everyone is allowed to have his own opinion, he should be mindful of the friend’s feelings.…
A text that embodies the values and beliefs exclusive to one niche in time would be difficult to adapt to any other context, unlike Shakespeare's 'Romeo and Juliet'. This text contains universal values that have proven to be relevant to generations over four hundred years and is still continuing to appeal to audiences today. 'Romeo and Juliet' is a timeless story that has been adapted from the stage to film, television and novels, which demonstrates the strength of the message conveyed by Shakespeare that appears to tap into the most basic of human emotions and feelings. The evidence provided by the by the adaptations give us insight into both the way the text has been transformed and why it has been transformed. The text in its altered state shows the audience what emotions Shakespeare was able to lock into his play that are so rudimentary that they relate to humans in every context.…

The first is trust, if you’re a trustworthy person to your friend there will never be any circumstances that he/she can count you out on. They’ll feel like your always gonna be there for them no matter te situation to come. Trust is key, simply bacuse there aren’t a lot of people you can trust in this world, therefore, when you find that person you feel you can trust, he/she becomes more comfortable with you as a person and your relationship becomes stronger. With trust anything can be accomplished between you and a friend because if they were in need of someone to talk to for advice, you’d be able to help them more than any other person knowing your word is more believable than anyone else's advice could be.…
The love for my friends has changed me to be a more honest person. I have learned that in order to create a solid friendship with someone, I need to be able to trust them completely. In order to build that trust, I need to feel that the other person is completely honest with me. One defining moment I remember where I first considered one of my friends to be a true friend was when we were sitting together in art class one afternoon. We were working away on a project where we had to paint self portraits of ourselves. I was ready to hand mine in, but I felt like there was something that I didn't like about it that I couldn't put my finger on. I asked my friend for her opinion, and she bluntly said, "You drew your eyes too close together, and your nose looks a little awkward." At first, I couldn't help but take that opinion personally. I sat there for a few minutes a little confused and hurt, but I realized that my friend didn't mean to hurt my feelings; she simply gave me her honest opinion. This has made me realize that it is important to not just tell your friends what they want to hear, but tell them the truth, even when the truth could hurt.…
