The Importance Of Friendship

                       In the book, The Absolutely True Dairy Of A Part-Time Indian, by Sherman Alexie, is about how an indian named Junior was going through rough times in his new school Rearden. One day, Junior was so lonely and sad. he used to play be himself in gym, walk to classes by himself, and eat lunch by himself. The next day, he is best friends with the school genius named Gordy, them both being some of the smartest kids in the whole school. The day after that, Junior becomes in the semi-relationship with the most popular girl in the school named Penelope and he now has connections to everyone. Even though Junior has all of these admirers, he misses his real best friend rowdy who is not his friend any more because he thinks that he is a traitor of the reservation(see my last response on this book).

                      This book is really making me think about the Importance of Friendship. Junior needs a friends in his school. He needs someone who will make him comfortable in his new school, who will make him feel normal. Junior feels out of the loop and left out even though he doesn't think his in. Rowdy was the only true friend that Junior has ever had. He told Rowdy everything and when Rowdy announced that he wasn't Juniors friend and he wasn't associating with him anymore, it really broke his heart and ever since then, Junior really never knew what to do with himself.

                       In my opinion, I believe that everyone needs a friend. You need a friend to guide you to do different things. You need a friend to make you feel more sane. You need a friend so you can talk to them and vent and rant about all the problems that are going on in your life. You need a friend so you can make another one. You need  friend because you need someone to bond with on your down time. You need a friend because you need to know that someone will be their for you when you need them the most. You need a friend because you need to be social. You need a friend because they will be the last thing that completes you. The Importance of Friendship is that you need that attention and motivation. You need that security and daringness. You need that in your life because otherwise you will be unhappy.

What do you guys think? What is the Importance of Friendship and why do we really need it? Why do we need friends? How do they benefit us in anyway?
