Week of Feb. 21

In Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Huck and Jim build a friendship as they travel the Mississippi River together. Briefly, do you find friendships easy to form or do you need time to get to know someone well enough to call them a friend? What do you look for in a friend?

I would definitely say I need time to get to know someone before I can call them a friend. A friend is someone you can trust, talk to about anything, and know they will always be there for you. For me, it takes a while to call someone a friend because I really have to know them and understand them. I always look for trust in a friendship. If I do not trust someone then I would not consider them a friend.

A friend, to me, is pretty much someone you get along with. i can have a friend in no time but for them to be a close friend it would take some time. there i look or people i can depend on or me to call them a true friend. someone you can tell secrets too and know they wont tell anone else.

My friend is the kind of person who would give an organ if i ever needed it. he would be at my house if a loved one ever died just to have a shoulder to cry on. i can not just through a dart at a board to decide who to chose i need to know if they are truly a friend and not just a "bro".

For me my friend would have to be the kind of person that believes that  I would donate an organ for them if they ever needed it. They would be there whenever I need them and they have to be dependable. I think that friendships are relatively easy to form depending on who the person is and whether or not you happen to be trying.

I am not very good at making friends. I have known most of my closest friends for ages, so I don't have much practice, I guess. Because I am kind of awkward, and shy it takes me a while to get to know people. Sometimes. though, like with my best friend, we can hang out for five minutes and I'll decide I would give this person an organ if they ever needed it.  

Mason M. P. 4

I make friends very easily, it doesn't take a lot for me to make a new friend. But I choose my close friends wisely and make sure I can honestly trust the person I consider one of my best friends. So it depends on how well I get to know the person and how close they are to me for what category they're in.

-Ally H. p,6

What I look for in a friend is innocence and morality. If they scream "party foul" or "fail" frequently and at the top of their lungs and be annoyingly rude, they cannot be friends with me. With polite and guilt-less, than we are friends, whether we have met or not. This makes friendships exceptionally easy to form.

Wesley Smith Per 4 ☺ 

I make friends considerably easy, but when it comes to close friends where I can tell everything to it takes me some time to see who that person really is and how there personality is like. When it comes to a close friend I look for responsibility, humor, kindness, compassion, trust ability common interests, and just a person I can have a good conversation with. I think friends are important to have but I would rather have one extremely good friend than one-hundred regular friends.

For me it is sometimes easy to form a friendship with someone, but it takes time to get to know someone well enough for me to actually become close to them.  In a friend I look for someone who is honest, trustworthy, sincere, understanding, and loyal. They need to have a good sense of humor, share common interests, and I have to be able to trust them.

-Elsie G. Period 6 (:

For me it's easy to become friends with someone, but it takes me some time to actually get to know them to be able to call them "friends". In a friend I look for some one who is honest, real, that doesn't back stab you or talk bad about you when your not there, loyal, I don't really expect much just to be a real friend and to be honest so that I can be able to trust in him/her.

For me I would say i would need sometime to actually get to know the person first. Ive been backstabbed before by a friend because I never really saw their true colors so I'm usually always having my guards up when It comes down to it.
