Friendship. It is easily found for a majority of people. For some, it is not. August has trouble making friends. His face is an obstacle that prevents him from doing things that normal people can accomplish. The looks of his face should not be problem, and to some people it is not. While reading Wonder, I was able to relate to the main character August, because like myself, he loses and gains friends.
One of August’s best friends was his dog, Daisy. The only friend that didn't see him as different. Sadly, Daisy passed away. When she passed, it upset August. Every night they would cuddle. Daisy licked August all over his face, as if nothing was wrong with it. At one point in the novel, August misses Daisy so much that he has a dream about

her. The dream makes him fell happy inside, but once he awakens and realizes that she was not really there, the sadness reoccurs. I can relate to losing a friend. When I moved away from Clinton, I lost a good bit of my friends. I was sad, but I eventually got over it. Summer was August’s first true friend.
She sat with him at lunch when no one else would. Summer had the choice of sitting with him or her other friends. She chose August. She was not turned away by the way August ate, like most kids. August and Summer became good friends throughout the novel. This was a friendship gained for August. When I moved to Oxford, I had no friends. My first friend was Madison. It was my first friendship that I gained in Oxford. Our dads worked together, so we ended up hanging out a lot. We are best friends, and hopefully always will be.
Jack Will was hesitant about being friends with August. All of his friends made fun of Jack for being associated with him. One day, Jack talked badly about August to Julian. August over heard, and it shocked him. By the end of the novel, Jack Will and August were friends again. This was another friendship gained for August. My next friend gained was Ellen. Our sisters were friends, so we became friends. We had a point in time that we were not friends, but we got over it. Ellen and I are good friends today.
Throughout life, you lose friends and you gain friends. Everyone should be able to relate to that. Like in August’s life, things change. He finds new friends, like Jack and Summer, but he looses friends, like his dog Daisy. His is life changes, but it changes for the
better.
Friendship is a necessity throughout life whether it is during elementary school or during adulthood. Some friendships may last a while and some may last for a year; it depends on the strength of the bond and trust between the two people. In the novel A Separate Peace by John Knowles, the main characters, Gene and Finny, did not have a pure friendship because it was driven by envy and jealousy, they did not feel the same way towards each other and they did not accurately understand each other.
Friendship is an unbreakable bond between two people and contains loyalty and love. In the story Chains, Isabel finds herself in grand friendships that play throughout the story. She showed how devoted she was towards Lady Lockton, Curzon, and Ruth by being there for them during tough times. In the end, friendship is the light through the darkness, powerful and important.
Friendship doesn’t last long when people grow apart and have different interests. In Susie Kretschmer story’s “And Summer is Gone”, the friendship between Daivd, the speaker, and his childhood friend Amy starts to fade when their contrasting characters develop different interests, personalities and achievement as they grow up When school begins, both characters grow apart when Amy’s interest dramatically changes in order to fit into her social peer group. These changes cause her relationship with David to deteriorate as her interest shifts. Amy becomes less interested in “build [ing] little pyramids of clay” and prefers to “[go] to every part, every football game, every prestigious event at school”. She loses her interest in art and becomes more superficial and social.

In the film, Holes, the director Andrew Davis teaches us that friendship can help you achieve and accomplish amazing things.

Friendship is not something that has adapted over time. The desire to seek out and surround ourselves with other human beings, our friends, is in our nature. Philosophers such as Aristotle infer that friendship is a kind of virtue, or implies virtue, and is necessary for living. Nobody would ever choose to live without friends, even if we had all the other good things. The relationship between two very different young boys, Bruno and Shmuel’s in the film The Boy in the Striped Pajamas is an example of the everlasting bond of a perfect friendship based upon the goodness of each other.

Growing up in school you have your friends in 1st, then in Jr. High, and then when you get to high school you might not even know or see your friends from 1st grade anymore. For the few people who’s had a friend from 1st grade till college I think that someone they need to hold on to because if they stuck with you through all them year I know they’re there for the right reason and there not just there for a season. As Elizabeth Dunphy says, “It’s the little things that matter, that add up in the end, with the priceless thrilling magic found only in a friend.”
In life we come across many people. Some will hate us while others will adore us. The ones who hate us can be referred to as enemies and the ones who show us adoration are referred to as friends.

As I reach the seemingly boring age of 19, I am able to look back and reflect on how my choices in the past have gotten me to where I am today. One of the most significant decisions I have made in my life was to minimize my friend group. Now, losing friends is something you hear about before you even hit junior high. The common phrase is repeated over and over again, when referring to high school, “You find out who your real friends are.” As a scrawny little freshman, with no sense of reality, I refused to believe that that phrase would ever apply to my life. The end of my sophomore year is when my then, sixteen-year-old self, realized that that overused phrase was more relevant to my life than I wanted it to be. So I did something about it.
