Friendship

As you hear the distinct ring of the doorbell, a sudden hope has arrived. Gracefully moving to the dorway, you know who is at the door waiting for you to unlock the lock and turn the knob. As the door opens, a smile flashes across your face as you see your best friend standing right in front of you. Friendship is one of the most powerful forces in the world as anyone can be a friend, and a friend can be anyone.

Friends are always there for you through the ups and the downs. Whether you win your soccer game or when your dog dies, friends will be there cheering you on or comforting you. Though many tough times come in our lifetimes, our friends are here to comfort us and to be supportive in the decisions we make everyday of our lives. No matter how many friends you have, what really matters is loyalty. Friends have to be as loyal as a servant is to its master. You have to play your part as a friend too. Along with friends being loyal to you, you need to be loyal to your friends. As a friend may come and go, more are never far away.

In The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, friendship is something Tom Sawyer is never short of. Huckleberry Finn and Joe Harper are Tom's best friends. They are always with him from the adventures as pirates on the island, to digging for buried treasure. After they return from being pirates, and attend their own funeral, Tom sticks up for Huck when nobody seems to be happy for him to be safe. This shows just how powerful these boys can be, getting a grown woman to care for a boy nobody seems to enjoy having around. Tom Sawyer truly knows what friendship means, and will do anything for it.

Tom Sawyer found out that friends are always there for you, as you should always be there for them. Friends are loyal, kind, and truly something to appreciate greatly throughout your lifetime. Tom, Huck and Joe were definitely great friends always ready for an adventure. Just as all friends should be, these boys were truly loyal. Friends are the key to life -- something we just can't live without.
