Howie and Laura were marooned on an island together, only to find an adventure ahead of them. Throughout the story they helped each other in so many ways. The had supported each other, like friends do. At first, however they were not in a good relationship, they didn’t even know each other! Gradually however they started to trust each other, they talked and started having fun together. Implying that they were eventually and hopefully going to become good friends in the end.

to come is that Laura and Howie went through many events, that grew their relationship. Howie and Laura were getting off the island by swimming to another island “The girl was clutching at him afraid of the water… she was making too much noise, gasping and trying to hold her head high out of the water”(15). What the author is saying here is that Laura trusted Howie with her life since she didn’t know how to swim, because of that she felt like could trust him. Implying that there is growing faith between them. The faith they had for each other then shows a friendship developing between them. Throughout the book they have been getting to know each other, as who they really are.Even at the end of the book, Laura and Howie still trusted each other, and never stop feeling that way about each other. After all of the events that happened to them, they then realized that they both are important to each other. Which then shows the reader that they would always stay together, and even if they had to go separate ways they would still have that same feeling for each other, when/if they reunite together again. The other side of the argument is the events that occur in the story does not show any reason their relationship would grow in some way, so that they will become close friends. But the argument Laura and Howie went through many event, that grew their relationship is still true. The key point is Howie in Laura trusted each other enough to talk about more personal things to them, having them grow the relationship they have together, ultimately making them close friends. Another key reason that Laura and Howie will remain close friends for many years to come is that Howie and Laura felt they had to stay together, always. When Laura is calling her mother, explaining the situation they were in more thoroughly “We’ve got to stay together”, as what Howie and Laura say throughout the book (173). The point is that they are fond of each other, and they don’t want to separate.That they like each other enough to want and need to stay together. During many times throughout their adventure they always thought of or even said to each other that they needed to stay together. When they say these things they meant they want to be friends because they like each other enough to be good friends. Of course, it is possible to disagree with the view that Howie and Laura felt they had to stay together, always and instead argue that Howie had not seemed sure about wanting to stay together with Laura throughout their time together. However, stronger evidence is on the other side. What must be remembered is that Howie had not seemed sure about wanting to stay together with Laura because he wasn’t sure about how he felt at first. Later on he then is sure that he does want to stay with her and that he does have the need. This is essentially why Howie and Laura felt they had to stay together most of the time, making it so Laura and Howie will remain close friends for many years to come. Another key reason that Laura and Howie will remain close friends for many years to come is that Howie felt that he needed to protect Laura.
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
come. At the end of the book, as a reader, you feel that through this adventure Howie and Laura began their friendship with each other. Howie did indeed feel that he needed to protect Laura at all times. Which led them to wanting, and needing to stay together, but also everything they had gone through, from the very start, had made their relationship grow even more. Both of them are connected together to make a relationship that will last a long time to come, whether or not something to think about them. Making them realize, and we, as readers, that their relationship had a strong bond and will never falter like any other friendship, anyone could have.

Since the beginning of time itself, Television has been one the most influential pieces of media that the world has ever encountered. The beginning days of television depicted stereotypical mothers cooking and cleaning their homes for their husbands and children. Yet, as the decades passed, television took a dramatic turn, leaving the days of drama free entertainment as a vast memory. Now a day, however, when one hits the power on button to Bravo, the screen lights expand to ritzy socialites dealing with their everyday lives as “housewives”. Bravo TV’s hit number one reality television show, The Real Housewives of Atlanta, deals with the everyday lives of modern-day housewives. When speaking of these women and their family life, the reality series shows its viewers that family life in modern times is dramatic, full of misrepresentations of how people are perceived, and that fame comes at the cost of family.
Lennie and George’s companionship meet and transcend all the needed requirements. They are a textbook example of loyal friends.

If George wouldn’t have met Lennie he would be a drunk in a whorehouse dying of cirrhosis. If Lennie didn’t meet George he would of died soon after his aunt did, because he would either have got himself in a bind with no one to help him or he would of simply wondered off and died of loneliness.

George and Lennie face many obstacles throughout their journey. George helped Lennie and lead him throughout this journey. George is a good friend towards Lennie in my opinion because he does so much for him.

Is it okay to do nothing when you are getting harassed ? I didn't think so what I am gonna argue about in this argumentative paragraph is about the book the goat and one very important decision. The question i am debating is that if it was ok for howie and laura to leave the island.The side i am arguing was that Laura and Howie’s excursion a learning experience that was justifiable by circumstances they were in. Keep on reading to find out my reasoning .
One important reason that Laura and Howies excursion was an immature and foolish series of actions for which they should be punished is that Laura and Howie didn’t have to leave the island. In the text it says ¨Margo cutter, senior counselor, came down to the beach still carrying the bag of clothes¨. This shows If the counselors were coming they didn’t need to leave. Now, some might argue that Howie and Laura didn't know the counselors were coming. But the argument that Laura and Howie didn't have to leave the island is still true. The key point is This argument is flawed because either way Howie and Laura made an impulsive decision.

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.
