When Howie and Laura were on the journey back to their camp, they were at this camp where they met Tiwanda, “The boy kicked him hard in the side of the knee. Pardoe made a loud, ugly sound and fell down on the floor” (85). This point shows the relationship growing, making it so that Howie and Laura feel the need to protect each other. Showing that they are protective of each other in some ways. When protection is the effect they have between them during their time together, means most likely they trust, and care for each other a lot. Which is something that is easily forgotten or even tossed away. Of course it is possible to disagree with the view that Howie had the need to protect Laura and instead argue that Howie did not feel the need to protect Laura at all, he thought that she could protect herself. However, stronger evidence is on the other side. What must be remembered is that throughout their journey Howie protected her, and saved her. One example would be with Pardoe, and the other with the cleaning lady. Pardoe was getting too “comfortable” to Laura. The cleaning lady however caught Laura and bad consequences were going to be given. Howie was always there to stop those people from hurting her, protecting her from everyone and everything that tried to seperate them. So he did feel the need to protect Laura throughout the journey they had. This essentially why Howie had the need to protect Laura, implying that Laura and Howie will remain close friends for many years to

People should be recognized according to their accomplishments. If someone wins a Nobel Peace Prize or wins gold at the Olympics, then they deserve to be praised for their efforts. Nonetheless, someone who has barely accomplished anything can actually be worthy of praise also. How is this possible? If only there was such a person that could pioneer this paradoxical task. But there is. Her name is Jennifer Bobylev and she is an ordinary teenage girl. She might be overly concerned with her looks but that is normal for teenage girls. She is still in high school and has no major life accomplishments to speak of. However, her character, values, and dedication to family and friends, make her someone deserving of praise.
